SP Newsprint CO; Notice of Issuance of Order

October 24, 2006.
    SP Newsprint CO (SP Newsprint) filed an application for market-
based rate authority, with an accompanying tariff. The proposed market-
based rate tariff provides for the sale of energy and capacity at 
market-based rates. SP Newsprint also requested waivers of various 
Commission regulations. In particular, SP Newsprint requested that the 
Commission grant blanket approval under 18 CFR part 34 of all future 
issuances of securities and assumptions of liability by SP Newsprint.
    On October 20, 2006, 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 SP 
Newsprint 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 November 24, 2006.
    Absent a request to be heard in opposition by the deadline above, 
SP Newsprint 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 SP Newsprint, 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 SP Newsprint's issuance of securities or 
assumptions of liability.
