The Application-Declaration previously filed is hereby amended by
adding the following:
ITEM 4. REGULATORY APPROVAL.
(a) State the nature and extent of the jurisdiction of any
State Commission or any Federal Commission (other than the Securities and
Exchange Commission) over the proposed transaction.
The Ohio Public Utility Commission (the "Ohio Commission")
has jurisdiction over the long-term financing of Columbia Gas of Ohio, Inc.
("Columbia Ohio"). The request for authorization for $40 million additional
financing for Columbia Ohio described in this Application-Declaration refers
only to short-term financing which, because short-term debt is not subject to
the Ohio Commission jurisdiction, is under the jurisdiction of the Securities
and Exchange Commission.
