rate schedule provides for the sale of energy and capacity and at 
market-based rates. Domtar also requested waivers of various Commission 
regulations. In particular, Domtar requested that the Commission grant 
blanket approval under 18 CFR Part 34 of all future issuances of 
securities and assumptions of liability by Domtar.
    On March 1, 2007, pursuant to delegated authority, the Director, 
Division of Tariffs and Market Development--West, granted the requests 
for blanket approval under Part 34. The Director's order also stated 
that the Commission would publish a separate notice in the Federal 
Register establishing a period of time for the filing of protests. 
Accordingly, any person desiring to be heard or to protest the blanket 
approvals of issuances of securities or assumptions of liability by 
Domtar should file a motion to intervene or protest with the Federal 
Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 
20426, in accordance with Rules 211 and 214 of the Commission's Rules 
of Practice and Procedure. 18 CFR 385.211, 385.214 (2004).
    Notice is hereby given that the deadline for filing motions to 
intervene or protest is April 2, 2007.
    Absent a request to be heard in opposition by the deadline above, 
Domtar is authorized to issue securities and assume obligations or 
liabilities as a guarantor, indorser, surety, or otherwise in respect 
of any security of another person; provided that such issuance or 
assumption is for some lawful object within the corporate purposes of 
Domtar, compatible with the public interest, and is reasonably 
necessary or appropriate for such purposes.
    The Commission reserves the right to require a further showing that 
neither public nor private interests will be adversely affected by 
continued approvals of Domtar's issuance of securities or assumptions 
of liability.
    Copies of the full text of the Director's Order are available from
