It was developed in a series of our earlier studies. and here, we combine them into a complete form. By employing the Noether method within a tensor formalism, conserved currents, superpotentials, and charges are constructed. These are shown to be covariant under coordinate transformations and local Lorentz rotations in TEGR, while, in STEGR, they are covariant under coordinate transformations. The teleparallel (flat) connections in both theories are defined using the "turning off gravity" principle. Uniting such defined flat connections with the tetrad in TEGR and metric in STEGR, a new notion — "gauge" — fruitful in applications, is introduced. The choice of various initial tetrads in TEGR or initial coordinates in STEGR leads to different gauges, giving different conserved quantities. Finally, we discuss an appropriate choice of gauges from a possible set of them. Typically, an English full text is available in about 1 month from the date of publication of the original article.
