AMENDMENT NO. 2 TO
APPLICATION-DECLARATION UNDER THE PUBLIC UTILITY
HOLDING COMPANY ACT OF 1935
Consolidated Natural Gas Company (Consolidated) and CNG
Energy Services Corporation (Energy Services) hereby amend their
Application-Declaration under the above file number as follows:
Item 1. Description of Proposed Transaction
_____________________________
1. On page 3, please replace the first paragraph under
"PROPOSED ACTIVITIES" with the following paragraphs:
The Customer Services will generally be
offered by CSPS as a convenience to utility customers;
will be closely related to energy services already
being provided to such customers; will lead to
increased and more efficient utilization of existing
Consolidated LDC personnel and facilities and
additional revenue to offset the cost of maintenance of
such personnel and facilities. For example, the
Service Line Maintenance and Routine Furnace Services
Programs -- servicing the gas pipeline and furnace on
the customer's property -- relate directly to natural
<PAGE> 3
gas service to existing natural gas customers. The
additional services will enable Consolidated's LDCs to
"add value" to the existing natural gas service by
offering to maintain natural gas equipment all the way
to the "burner tip." Such will promote more efficient
utilization of the LDC's existing local distribution
facilities and personnel.
None of the Customer Services will require a
large amount of additional capital investment, nor will
the number of Consolidated LDC personnel involved be of
such a magnitude that utility services would in any way
be impaired. The rendering of any significant support
by a Consolidated LDC to CSPS to enable it to provide
Customer Services would require approval of the state
public utility commission having jurisdiction over the
subject LDC.
2. Please insert the following sentence on page 10 at
the end of the first paragraph under "SOURCE OF FUNDS:"
All financing will be on a revolving basis

3. Please insert the following sentence on page 11, at
the end of the paragraph which begins "Consolidated will obtain

HCAR No. 26245; borrowings under credit agreements are
authorized by Commission order dated June 29, 1995,
HCAR No. 26231.)
