grant blanket approval under 18 CFR Part 34
[[Page 12009]]

On March 5, 2002, pursuant to delegated authority, the Director,
Office of Markets, Tariffs and Rates--Central, granted requests for
blanket approval under Part 34, subject to the following:
Any person desiring to be heard or to protest the blanket approval

Absent a request to be heard in opposition within this period,

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
Rainy River, 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 approval of Rainy River's issuances of securities or
assumptions of liability.
Notice is hereby given that the deadline for filing motions to
