          The Application or Declaration heretofore filed in these proceedings
     is hereby amended in order to add Sempra Energy ("Sempra"), a California
     corporation, and Frontier Pacific, Inc. ("Frontier Pacific"), which is
     currently a Delaware corporation, as applicants, and to request the
     Commission to issue an order pursuant to Section 3(a)(1) exempting Sempra,
     Pacific, Enova and Frontier Pacific, and each of their respective
     subsidiary companies as such, from all provisions of the Act except
     Section 9(a)(2).

          1.   The Addition of Sempra as an Applicant.  By order dated June 26,
               --------------------------------------
     1998 (Holding Company Act Release No. 26890), the Commission authorized
     Sempra pursuant to Sections 9(a)(2) and 10 of the Act to acquire all of
     the issued and outstanding common stock of Pacific and Enova, and granted
     Sempra and its subsidiary companies as such an exemption pursuant to
     Section 3(a)(1) of the Act from all provisions of the Act except Section
     9(a)(2).  As a "holding company," the indirect acquisition of the voting
     securities of Frontier by Sempra is subject to Sections 9(a)(2) and 10 of
     the Act.  Accordingly, Sempra is added as an applicant in these
     proceedings.  In addition, Sempra, Pacific and Enova each requests a
     further order of the Commission confirming that it and each of its
     subsidiary companies as such will continue to be exempt under Section
     3(a)(1) of the Act following their indirect acquisition of the voting
     securities of Frontier.  In this regard, as previously stated (see
     Application or Declaration, fn. 11), the applicants will derive no
     material part of their income from Frontier.  

          2.   The Addition of Frontier Pacific as an Applicant.  Frontier
               ------------------------------------------------
     Pacific, which is currently an indirect subsidiary of Pacific and Enova,1/
     also requests to be made an applicant in these proceedings.  At such time


     -------------------
     1/   Frontier Pacific is wholly-owned by Sempra Energy Solutions, LLC, a
     California limited liability company whose membership interests are
     currently held by Pacific and Enova.  Prior to the date of the Commission's
     order in these proceedings, Sempra Energy Solutions, LLC will transfer the
     common stock of Frontier Pacific to Sempra.


                                      2
     <PAGE>


     as Frontier becomes a "gas utility company," as defined in Section 2(a)(4)
     of the Act, Frontier Pacific will become a "holding company," as defined in
     Section 2(a)(7) of the Act.  Accordingly, Frontier Pacific joins in
     requesting an exemption under Section 3(a)(1) from all provisions of the
     Act, except Section 9(a)(2).  In support of such request, Frontier Pacific
     represents that, on or before the date of the Commission's order in these
     proceedings, it will either merge into or transfer its interest in Frontier
     to a new corporation organized in North Carolina, the state in which
     Frontier is organized and in which Frontier will conduct all of its public
     utility operations.  Frontier will be Frontier Pacific's only
     public-utility subsidiary.
