Catawba-Wateree Hydroelectric Project; Notice of Proposed Restricted 
Service List for a Programmatic Agreement for Managing Properties 
Included in or Eligible for Inclusion in the National Register of 
Historic Places

May 11, 2009.
    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 section 385.2010.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission staff is consulting with the North Carolina State 
Historic Preservation Officer (hereinafter, North Carolina SHPO), South 
Carolina State Historic Preservation Officer (hereinafter, South 
Carolina 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 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 Catawba-Wateree Hydroelectric Project No. 2232-522 (North 
Carolina SHPO Reference Number ER03-0359).
    The programmatic agreement, when executed by the Commission and the 
North Carolina and South Carolina SHPOs 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 Catawba-Wateree 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.
    Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC, as licensee for Catawba-Wateree 
Hydroelectric Project No. 2232, the Catawba Indian Nation, and the 
Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians have expressed an interest in this 
preceding and are invited to participate in consultations to develop 
the programmatic agreement.
    For purposes of commenting on the programmatic agreement, we 
propose to restrict the service list for the aforementioned project as 
follows:
