Vermont Marble Power, Division of Omya Inc.; Central Vermont
Public Service Corporation; Notice of Application of Transfer of
Licenses, Substitution of Relicense Applicant, and Soliciting Comments
and Motions To Intervene
October 12, 2010.
On August 31, 2010, Vermont Marble Power, Division of Omya Inc.
(transferor) and Central Vermont Public Service Corporation
(transferee) filed an application for the transfer of licenses for the
Otter Creek Hydroelectric Project No. 2558, and the Center Rutland
Project No. 2445, located on the Otter Creek in Addison and Rutland
Counties, Vermont. On October 8, 2010, the transferor and transferee
filed a joint request to substitute the transferee for the transferor
as the applicant in the pending application for a new license filed by
the transferor in Project No. 2558-029.
The transfer application was filed within five years of the
expiration of the license for Project No. 2558, which is the subject of
pending relicensing applications. In Hydroelectric Relicensing
Regulations Under the Federal Power Act (54 FR 23,756 FERC Stats. and
Regs., Regs. Preambles 1986-1990 30,854 at p. 31,437), the Commission
declined to forbid all license transfers during the last five years of
an existing license, and instead indicated that it would scrutinize all
such transfer requests to determine if the transferor's primary purpose
was to give the transferee an advantage in relicensing.
