    The Commission staff is consulting with the North Carolina 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. section 470 
f), to prepare and execute two programmatic agreements for managing 
properties included in, or eligible for inclusion in, the National 
Register of Historic Places at the Mission Hydroelectric Project No. 
2619-012 (SHPO Reference Number ER03-0343) and at the Franklin 
Hydroelectric Project No 2603-012 (SHPO Reference Number ER03-0342).
    The programmatic agreements, 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 each license until each license expires or is 
terminated (36 CFR 800.13(e)). The Commission's responsibilities 
pursuant to section 106 for the Mission and Franklin Projects would be 
fulfilled through the execution of a programmatic agreement for each 
project, which the Commission proposes to draft in consultation with 
certain parties listed below. The executed programmatic agreement for 
each project would be incorporated into any Order issuing a license for 
the respective project.
    Duke Power, as licensee for Project Nos. 2619 and 2603, and the 
Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians have expressed an interest in these 
proceedings and are invited to participate in consultations to develop 
the programmatic agreements.
    For purposes of commenting on the programmatic agreement, we 
propose to restrict the service list for the aforementioned project as 
follows:

    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

the 15 day period. Otherwise, a further notice will be issued ruling on
