A.

The undersigned, Norbord Inc., formerly NexFor Inc. (the "Company"), is the successor of Noranda Forest Inc. ("Noranda Forest") as a result of the amalgamation in 1998 of Noranda Forest and NFI Forest Holdings Inc., which resulted in the formation of NexFor Inc. By application, dated September 3, 1991 (the "Application") Noranda Forest claimed the exemption afforded by Rule 12g3-2(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Act") in respect of its securities (file no. 82-3173). Pursuant to Rule 12g3-2(f) under the Act, by an amendment dated August 15, 2007, the Company elected to furnish the materials required by Rule 12g3-2(b) by making them available through the Canadian System for Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval ("SEDAR") or, if not required to be posted on SEDAR, on the Company's website. The Company published notice of this intent on July 25, 2007, which was furnished to the Commission under cover of Form 6-K on July 25, 2007.

The Company incurred Section 15(d) reporting obligations in connection with the filing of registration statements on Form F-9 on February 20, 1991 in respect of a Company's 8.125% Debentures due March 20, 2008 (file no. 333-13174) and on June 19, 2002 in respect of the Company's 7.250% Debentures due July 1, 2012 (file no. 333-90904). Norbord Inc. has filed or submitted all reports required under Exchange Act Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) and corresponding Commission rules for the twelve months preceding the filing of this Form 15F. The Company has filed at least one annual report under Section 13(a) of the Act.

Item 11. Undertakings

The undersigned issuer hereby undertakes to withdraw this Form 15F if, at any time before the effectiveness of its termination of reporting under Rule 12h-6, it has actual knowledge of information that causes it reasonably to believe that, at the time of filing the Form 15F:

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, Norbord Inc. has duly authorized the undersigned person to sign on its behalf this certification on Form 15F.
