Licenses may be issued to citizens of the United States, or to any association of such citizens, or to any corporation organized under the laws of the United States or any individual state, or to any state or municipality. Section 8 of the Federal Power Act (16 U.S.C. 801) 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.
