future issuances of securities and assumptions of liability by Citizens 
and Wellsboro.

    Notice is hereby given that the deadline for filing protests is

    Absent a request to be heard in opposition to such blanket 
approvals by the deadline above, Citizens and Wellsboro are 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 Citizens and Wellsboro, 
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 approvals of Citizen's and Wellsboro's issuance of securities 
or assumptions of liability.
