issuances of securities and assumptions of liability by Halt.

Division of Corporate Applications, Office of Markets, Tariffs and 
Rates, granted requests for blanket approval under part 34, subject to

or assumptions of liability by Halt should file a motion to intervene

is for some lawful object within the corporate purposes of Halt and 
compatible with the public interest, and is reasonably necessary or 
appropriate for such purposes.

neither public nor private interests will be adversely affected by 
continued approval of Halt's issuances of securities or assumptions of 
liability.
