Georgia Power Company; Morgan Falls Hydroelectric Project; Notice 
of Proposed Revised Restricted Service List for a Programmatic 
Agreement for Managing Properties Included in or Eligible for Inclusion 
in the National Register of Historic Places

April 26, 2006.
    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.

    \1\ 18 CFR 385.2010.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission staff is consulting with the Georgia State Historic 
Preservation Officer (hereinafter, SHPO) and the Advisory Council on 
Historic Preservation (hereinafter, Council) pursuant to the Council's 
regulations, 36 CFR part 800, implementing section 106 of the National 
Historic Preservation Act, as amended, (16 U.S.C. 470f), to prepare and 
execute a programmatic agreement for managing properties included in, 
or eligible for inclusion in, the National Register of Historic Places 
at the Morgan Falls Hydroelectric Project No. 2237-013 (SHPO Reference 
Number HP-040120-022).
    The programmatic agreement, when executed by the Commission, the 
SHPO, and the 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 800.13e). The Commission's responsibilities pursuant to section 
106 for the Morgan Falls 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.
    Georgia Power Company, as licensee for Project No. 2237, and the 
Muskogee (Creek) Nation of Oklahoma, the Poarch Band of Creek Indians, 
the Thlopthlocco Tribal Town, the Kialegee Tribal Town, the Alabama-
Quassarte Tribal Town, the Seminole Indian Tribe, the Seminole Nation 
of Oklahoma, the Cherokee Nation, the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians, 
the United Keetoowah Band of Cherokee Indians, and the National Park 
Service have expressed an interest in this preceding and are invited to 
participate in consultations to develop the programmatic agreement.
    On January 6, 2006, we established a restricted service list for 
the Morgan Falls Project. Due to staff changes at the Seminole Nation 
of Oklahoma, the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians, and the United 
Keetoowah Band of Cherokee Indians, we propose to remove Emman Spain, 
Michelle Hamilton, and Steve Mouse, respectively, from the restricted 
service list for the aforementioned project, and replace them with the 
following people:

Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians, Attention: Tyler Howe, THPO, Qualla 
Boundary, P.O. Box 455, Cherokee, NC 28719;
Pare Bowlegs, Historic Preservation Officer, Seminole Nation of 
Oklahoma, P.O. Box 1498, Wewoka, OK 74884; and
Lisa Stopp, Acting Tribal Historic Preservation Officer, United 
Keetoowah Band of Cherokee Indians, P.O. Box 746, 20525 S. Jules Valdez 
Rd., Tahlequah, OK 74464.

    Any person on the official service list for the above-captioned 
proceeding may request inclusion on the restricted service list, or may 
request that a restricted service list not be established, by filing a 
motion to that effect within 15 days of this notice date. In a request 
for inclusion, please identify the reason(s) why there is an interest 
to be included. Also please identify any concerns about historic 
properties, including Traditional Cultural Properties. If historic 
properties are to be identified within the motion, please use a 
separate page, and label it NON-PUBLIC Information.
    An original and 8 copies of any such motion must be filed with 
Magalie R. Salas, the Secretary of the Commission (888 First Street, 
NE., Washington, DC 20426) and must be served on each person whose name 
appears on the official service list. Please put the project name 
``Morgan Falls Project'' and number ``P-2237-013'' on the front cover 
of any motion. If no such motions are filed, the restricted service 
list will be effective at the end of the 15 day period. Otherwise, a 
further notice will be issued ruling on any motion or motions filed 
within the 15 day period.

Magalie R. Salas,
Secretary.
