Fri. July 24, 2009; Posted: 10:31 AM

Look up the PowerRating of DTC and see how it has performed over the past week as well as the current proprietary PowerRating.

On June 9, 2009, Domtar Maine Corporation (Transferor) and Domtar Maine LLC (Transferee) filed a joint application for: (1) The transfer of licenses of the Vanceboro Project No. 2492, located on the East Branch of the St. Croix River in Washington County, Maine and New Brunswick, Canada, the West Branch Project No. 2618, located on the West Branch of the St. Croix River in Hancock, Penobscot, and Washington Counties, Maine, and the Forest City Project No. 2660, located on the East Branch of the St. Croix River in Washington and Aroostock Counties, Maine, and New Brunswick, Canada, and (2) the substitution of the Transferee for the Transferor as the applicant in the pending applications for new licenses filed by the Transferor in Project Nos. 2618-020 and 2660-024.

The transfer application was filed within five years of the expiration of the license for Project Nos. 2618 and 2660, which are the subject of pending relicensing applications. In Hydroelectric Relicensing Regulations Under the Federal Power Act (54 FR 23756 FERC Stats. and Regs., Regs. Preambles 1986- 1990 30,854 at p. 31,437), the Commission declined to forbid all license transfers during the last five years of an existing license, and instead indicated that it would scrutinize all such transfer requests to determine if the transfer's primary purpose was to give the transferee an advantage in relicensing.
