Salvatore & Michelle Shifrin; Mansfield Hollow Hydro, LLC; Notice 
of Transfer of Exemption

    1. By letter filed November 26, 2014, and supplemented on July 23, 
2015, Mansfield Hollow Hydro, LLC (Mansfield Hydro) informed the 
Commission that the exemption from licensing for the Mansfield Hollow 
Hydroelectric Project No. 12551, had been transferred to Mansfield 
Hydro.\1\ The project is located on the Natchaug River in Tolland 
County, Connecticut.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ O'Connell Energy Group made the filing on behalf of 
Mansfield Hydro, which is owned by O'Connell Development Group, Inc.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    2. The exemption was originally issued to Salvatore and Michelle 
Shifrin (Shifrins) on June 17, 2009.\2\ The November 26, 2014 letter 
gave notice that the Shifrins had leased the right to operate the 
project to Mansfield Hydro. The July 23, 2015 filing contained a copy 
of the lease showing that all project lands and facilities were also 
leased to Mansfield Hydro, with exception of the five 100-kilowatt 
turbines, which Mansfield Hydro owns.

approval. Thus, the Shifrins' lease of project properties and operating 
rights to Mansfield Hydro effectively transferred the exemption to 
Mansfield Hydro.

Hydroelectric Project No. 12551. The exemptee's contact is: Stephen
