or Eligible for Inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places

July 14, 1998.
    Rule 2010 of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's 
(Commission) Rules of Practice and Procedure provides that, to 
eliminate unnecessary expense or improve administrative efficiency, the 
Secretary may establish a Restricted Service List for a particular 
phase or issue in a proceeding.\1\ The Restricted Service List should 
contain the names of persons on the service list who, in the judgment 
of the decisional authority establishing the list, are active 
participants with respect to the phase or issue in the proceeding for 
which the list is established.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission staff is consulting with the New Hampshire and 
Vermont State Historic Preservation Officers (hereinafter, ``SHPOs'') 
and the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (hereinafter, 
``Advisory Council'') pursuant to the Advisory Council's regulations, 
36 CFR Part 800, implementing Section 106 of the National Historic 
Preservation Act, as amended, (16 U.S.C. Section 470 f), to prepare a 
Programmatic Agreement for managing properties included in, or eligible 
for inclusion in, the National Register of Historic Places at Project 
No. 2077.
    The Programmatic Agreement, when executed by the Commission, the 
SHPOs, and the Advisory Council, would satisfy the Commission's Section 
106 responsibilities for all individual undertakings carried out in 
accordance with the license until the license expires or is terminated 
(36 CFR 800.13[e]). The Commission's responsibilities pursuant to 
Section 106 for the above project would be fulfilled through the 
Programmatic Agreement, which the Commission proposes to draft in 
consultation with certain parties listed below. The executed 
Programmatic Agreement would be incorporated into any Order issuing a 
license.
    New England Power Company, as prospective licensee for Project No. 
2077, is invited to participate in consultations to develop the 
Programmatic Agreement and to sign as a concurring party to the 
Programmatic Agreement.
    For purposes of commenting on the Programmatic Agreement, we 
propose to restrict the service list for Project No. 2077 as follows:
