    White Pine Copper Refinery, Inc. (White Pine) filed an application 
for market-based rate authority, with an accompanying tariff. The 
proposed tariff provides for wholesale sales of electric power and 
energy at market-based rates. White Pine also requested waiver of 
various Commission regulations. In particular, White Pine requested 
that the Commission grant blanket approval under 18 CFR part 34 of all 
future issuances of securities and assumptions of liability by White 
Pine.
    On June 25, 2003, pursuant to delegated authority, the Director, 
Division of Tariffs and Market Development--South, granted the request 
for blanket approval under part 34, subject to the following:

of issuances of securities or assumptions of liability by White Pine

accordance with Rules 211 and 214 of the Commission's Rules of Practice 
and Procedure (18 CFR 385.211 and 385.214).
    [reg]MDBO Notice is hereby given that the deadline for filing 
motions to intervene or protests, as set forth above, is July 28, 2003.
    Absent a request to be heard in opposition by the deadline above, 
White Pine is authorized to issue securities and assume obligations or 
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 
White Pine, 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 White Pine's issuances of securities or 
assumptions of liability.
