          - [Project Nos. 2558-030; 2445-023; 2558-029; 2445-023; 2558-029]

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.
