Re: Amendments to Rule 23.01(a)(12) and Pulp Appendix I -
Submission Pursuant to Section 5c(c)(1) of the Act and Regulation 40.6

Dear Ms. Webb:

Pursuant to Section 5c(c)(1) of the Commodity Exchange Act, as amended, and
Commission Regulation 40.6, the Board of Trade of the City of New York, Inc. (“Exchange”)
submits, by written certification, amendments to Rule 23.01(a)(12) and Pulp Appendix I,
attached as Exhibit A.

The amendment to Rule 23.01(a)(12) adds the requirement that a pulp Production Quality
Certificate be issued on the letterhead of the Exchange approved mill or brand which creates the
Certificate. The Certificate signifies that the pulp has been graded and meets the Exchange’s
standards for delivery. Since the signature of the person signing the Certificate for the mill or
brand may not be familiar to the receiver who takes delivery of the pulp, or to Exchange staff
who manage the delivery, the requirement that the Certificate be issued on the mill’s letterhead
gives added weight to its validity.

The amendment to Pulp Appendix I adds a mill to the list of Exchange approved mills or
brands. The mill is Espanola, which is owned by the pulp firm Domtar, and is located in
Ontario.

The Exchange certifies that the amendments comply with the requirements of the
Commodity Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.


-2-

The amendments were adopted by the Exchange’s Board of Governors on June 8, 2005.
The amendments will become effective on June 10, 2005. No substantive opposing views were
expressed by members or others with respect to the amendments.

If you have any questions or need further information, please contact me at
