If you arrive at RAINEE as the IAF, you must fly the hold-in-lieu course

turns require ATC approval.

To clarify, I need only cross RAINEE, do a standard entry (direct,
parallel, or teardrop), then cross RAINEE again inbound on the final
approach course, for a total of 2 crossings?


Exactly.


Similar to a procedure turn?


Not only is it similar to a procedure turn, it IS a procedure turn.


No, it's a hold in lieu of a procedure turn. You can do a PT type entry
and course reversal, as long as you remain within the confines of the
published holding pattern. The holding pattern in lieu of a procedure
turn does not protect quite as much airspace as a standard 10 mile PT.
