- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ (Names and Addresses of Other Agents for Service) 3 Columbia previously filed with the Commission post-effective amendments to No. 70-8471 that provided for the refinancing of long term debt for certain subsidiaries. The refinancing will pass through to the applicable subsidiaries Columbia's lower debt costs that were obtained when its pre-petition debt was refinanced upon emergence from Chapter 11. Under Section 6 of the PUHCA, the Commission exempts itself from oversight responsibility for certain financing matters if a state commission of the state in which a subsidiary company is organized and doing business expressly authorizes the proposed transaction(s). All of Columbia's "utility company" long term financing activities are expressly authorized by their respective state commissions with the exception of Columbia Maryland. As such, Columbia sought and subsequently received Commission approval to refinance Columbia Maryland's long term debt "Prior to June 31, 1996" (Order dated January 25, 1996, HCAR 35-26462, File No. 70-8471). For coordination purposes and to minimize administrative burden, Columbia intends to refinance certain of its subsidiaries at the same time on or around December 31, 1996. Columbia Kentucky, Columbia Ohio, Columbia Pennsylvania, and Commonwealth Gas services are in the process of obtaining the appropriate state regulatory approvals to refinance their long term debt held by Columbia. As a result, the Post-Effective Amendment No. 13 as previously filed is hereby amended as follows: Item 1. Description of Proposed Transaction The first sentence of the last full paragraph on page 3 is deleted and replaced by the following: "On or around December 31, 1996, Columbia Maryland will refund all outstanding Installment Notes previously sold to Columbia." 4 SIGNATURE Pursuant to the requirements of the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, the undersigned companies have duly caused this Post-Effective Amendment to be signed on their behalf by the undersigned thereunto duly authorized. The signatures of the applicants and of the persons signing on their behalf are restricted to the information contained in this application which is pertinent to the application of the respective companies.
