programmatic agreements for managing

properties included in, or eligible for

inclusion in, the National Register of

Historic Places at the Mission

(SHPO Reference Number ER03–0343)

and at the Franklin Hydroelectric

Project No 2603–012 (SHPO Reference

responsibilities pursuant to section 106

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

Federal Energy Regulatory

Commission

[Docket No. AD06–5–000]

Office of Energy Projects (OEP); Notice

of Intent to Prepare an Effectiveness

Assessment of the Natural Gas Facility

Interagency Agreement

In May 2002, the Federal Energy

Regulatory Commission (FERC or

Commission), the Bureau of Land

Management, the Fish and Wildlife

Service, the Environmental Protection

Agency, the Forest Service, the

Department of Transportation, the Army

Corps of Engineers, the National Marine

Fisheries Service, the Advisory Council

on Historic Preservation, and the

Department of Energy signed an

agreement entitled ‘‘Interagency

Agreement on Early Coordination of

Required Environmental and Historic

Preservation Reviews Conducted in

Conjunction with the Issuance of

Authorizations to Construct and Operate

Interstate Natural Gas Pipelines

Certificated by the Federal Energy

Regulatory Commission’’ (IA).

As a result of the IA, the signatory

agencies formed a working group to

coordinate each agency’s

implementation of the IA (Working

Group). Among its tasks, the Working

Group committed to the periodic

evaluation of the effectiveness of the IA.

On behalf of the Working Group, FERC

is leading the effort to initiate this

assessment. To achieve the maximum

benefit, including evaluation of the

Commission’s Pre-Filing Process, a

series of telephone conferences and

interactive public workshops are

planned. The participants will include

individuals who have participated in

the Commission’s National

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA)

process since the enactment of the IA,

and will cover both pipeline and

liquefied natural gas (LNG) projects in

various regions of the United States.

These include individuals from Federal,

state and local agencies, regulated

natural industry, Native American

tribes, affected property owners,

citizens, non-government organizations

and other stakeholders.

Since many of the signatory federal

agencies have prepared internal

guidelines to more effectively

implement the IA, the assessment will

also collect feedback on each agency’s

implementation, to determine whether

they are effective or need revision to

improve the review of future natural gas

projects.
