Section 4(e) authorizes the Commission to issue licenses for the construction, operation and maintenance of reservoirs, powerhouses, and transmission lines or other facilities necessary for the development and improvement of navigation and for the development, transmission, and utilization of power.1 Section 8 of the FPA provides that the voluntary transfer of any license can only be made with the written approval of the Commission. Any successor to the licensee may assign the rights of the original licensee but is subject to all of the conditions of the license. The information filed with the Commission is a mandatory requirement contained in the format of a written application for transfer of license, executed jointly by the parties of the proposed transfer. The transfer of a license may be occasioned by the sale or merger of a licensed hydroelectric project. It is used by the Commission’s staff to determine the qualifications of the proposed transferee to hold the license, and to prepare the transfer of the license order. Approval by the Commission of transfer of a license is contingent upon the transfer of title to the properties under license, delivery of all license instruments, and a showing that such transfer is in the public interest. The Commission implements these filing requirements in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) under 18 CFR Part 9. FERC–515: The information collected under the requirements of FERC–515 is used by the Commission to implement the statutory provisions of Part I, Section 23(b) of the Federal Power Act (16 USC 817). Section 23(b) authorized the Commission to make a determination as to whether it has jurisdiction over a proposed water project 2 not affecting navigable waters 3 but across, along, over, or in waters over which Congress has jurisdiction under its authority to regulate commerce with foreign nations and among the several States. Section 23(b) requires that any person intending to construct project works on such waters must file a declaration of their intention with the Commission. If the Commission finds the proposed project will have an impact on interstate or foreign 1 Refers to facilities across, along, from, or in any of the streams or other bodies of water over which Congress has jurisdiction under its authority to regulate commerce with foreign nations and among the several Sates, or upon any part of public lands and reservations of the United States, or for the purpose of utilizing the surplus water or water power from any Government dam. 2 Dams or other project works (see 16 U.S.C. 817). 3 See 16 U.S.C. 796(8) for the definition of ‘‘Navigable Waters’’.
