j. Comment Date: September 4, 1998.

k. Description of Transfer: Transfer of

the licenses for these projects to FPLE

is being sought in connection with the

divestiture by CMP and UMP of

substantially all their hydropower

resources, pursuant to Maine Public

Law 1997, ch. 316, 35–A § 3204, et seq.

(An Act to Restructure the State’s

Electric Industry). CMP, as co-licensee

of Brassua, and UP, as co-licensee of

Errol, seek to transfer their interest in

the storage facilities for those projects to

FPLE, leaving unaffected the respective

co-licensees’ interest in the generating

facilities. The Union Gas, Rice Rips, and

Oakland Projects, on the Messalonskee

River, were found non-jurisdictional on

August 6, 1997. At its July 15, 1998,

meeting, the Commission, in Docket

UL96–7–003, et al., reversed the prior

findings and concluded that the projects

were required to be licensed.

The transfer application was filed

within five years of the expiration of the

licenses for Projects Nos. 2142, 2283,

and 2612, the last two of which are the

subject of pending relicense

applications. In Hydroelectric

Relicensing Regulations Under the

Federal Power Act (54 Fed. Reg. 23,756;

FERC Stats. and 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 transfer’s primary purpose was to

give the transferee an advantage in

relicensing (id, at p. 31,438 n. 318). The

transfer would lead to the substitution

of the transferee for the transferor as the

applicant in the relicensing proceedings

for Projects Nos. 2283 and 2612.

l. This notice also consists of the

following standard paragraphs: B, C1,

and D2.

B. Comments, Protests, or Motions to

Intervene—Anyone may submit

comments, a protest, or a motion to

intervene in accordance with the

requirements of Rules of Practice and

Procedure, 18 CFR Sections 385.210,

.211, .214. In determining the

appropriate action to take, the

Commission will consider all protests or

other comments filed, but only those

who file a motion to intervene in

accordance with the Commission’s

Rules may become a party to the

proceeding. Any comments, protests, or

motions to intervene must be received

on or before the specified comment date

for the particular application.

C1. Filing and Service of Responsive

Documents—Any filings must bear in

all capital letters the title

‘‘COMMENTS,’’

‘‘RECOMMENDATIONS FOR TERMS

AND CONDITIONS,’’ ‘‘PROTEST’’ OR

‘‘MOTION TO INTERVENE,’’ as

applicable, and the project number of

the particular application to which the

filing is in response. Any of these

documents must be filed by providing

the original and 8 copies to: The

Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory

Commission, 888 First Street, N.E.,

Washington, DC 20426. Motions to

intervene must also be served upon each

representative of the applicant specified

in the particular application.

D2. Agency Comments—The

Commission invites federal, state, and

local agencies to file comments on the

described application. (Agencies may

obtain a copy of the application directly

from the applicant.) If an agency does

not file comments within the time

specified for filing comments, the

Commission will presume that the

agency has none. One copy of an

agency’s comments must also be sent to

the applicant’s representatives.

Acting Secretary.
