The undersigned registrant hereby amends the following items,

Item 1. Description of Registrant's Securities to be Registered.
--------------------------------------------------------
The Board of Directors of Jacobs Engineering Group Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the "Company") adopted an amendment and restatement of the
Company's existing rights plan (the "Rights Plan") which is set out in full in
the Amended and Restated Rights Agreement, amended and restated as of December
20, 2000 between the Company and Mellon Investor Services LLC, as Rights Agent.
The purpose of the amendment is to enable the Company to continue to
have in place the protection afforded by the Rights Plan beyond the December 20,
2000 expiration date of the Rights Plan. The amendment extended the expiration
date to December 20, 2010, eliminated the so called "dead hand" independent
director provisions of the Rights Plan, increased the exercise price of the
Rights Plan from $90 to $175 and made certain other non-material revisions.
