Erie Boulevard Hydropower, L.P.; Saint Regis Mohawk Tribe; Notice 
of Application for Transfer of License and Soliciting Comments, Motions 
To Intervene, and Protests

    On November 27, 2013, Erie Boulevard Hydropower, L.P. (Erie or 
transferor) and the Saint Regis Mohawk Tribe (Tribe or transferee) 
filed an application to transfer the license for the Hogansburg 
Hydroelectric Project No. 7518, located on the St. Regis River in 
Franklin County, New York. That same day, the Tribe (as a prospective 
licensee) filed an application to surrender the project license and to 
decommission and remove the project dam. On January 21, 2015, Erie and 
the Tribe filed a letter requesting that the Commission construe their 
November 27, 2013 filings as a request to partially transfer the 
license for the Hogansburg Project to add the Tribe as a co-licensee.
    Erie and the Tribe now contemplate a two-step process where the 
Tribe would first become a co-licensee, and would subsequently 
surrender the license and decommission the project facilities, with 
Erie remaining a co-licensee. This notice applies only to the partial 
transfer request. If the partial transfer is approved, the Commission 
will solicit comments and review the surrender and decommissioning 
request in a separate proceeding.
