Gelardin Bruner Cott Inc.; Notice of Application for After the Fact Transfer of License and Soliciting Comments, Motions To Intervene, and Protests

On March 29, 2019, Gelardin Bruner Cott Inc. (GBC) (licensee) filed an application for an after-the-fact transfer of license for the Central Falls Hydroelectric Project (project) No. 3063, located on the Blackstone River in Central Falls, Providence County, Rhode Island.

On August 28, 1981, the Commission issued a minor license to GBC, with three principal officers: Robert Gelardin, Simone Bruner, and Leland Cott. Prior to license issuance on June 15, 1981, GBC formed a limited partnership, Blackstone Hydro Associates (BHA), to acquire the necessary real property interests and rights for project construction and maintenance. Subsequent to license issuance, project's construction and maintenance was achieved by BHA. The licensee has recently learned during the relicensing of the project that the license for the project had not been formally changed from GBC to BHA. The licensee seeks an after-the-fact approval of the transfer of license.
