The Commission staff is consulting with the 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 470 f), 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 Saluda Hydroelectric
Project No. 516-459.
The programmatic agreement, when executed by the Commission and the
South Carolina SHPO 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 Saluda 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.
South Carolina Electric & Gas Company, as licensee for Saluda
Hydroelectric Project No. 516, 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:

Preservation, The Old Post Office Building, Suite 803, 1100

proceeding may request inclusion on the restricted service list, or may
