Item 2. Fees, Commissions and Expenses

The Company believes that current market conditions require an
increase above the 2% of principal amount of underwriters' fees,
commissions and expenses as specified in Item 2 in this File to
effect sales into the retail securities markets. Accordingly the
Company amends the last paragraph of Item 2 in this File to read
in its entirety as follows:

      The  fees,  commissions and expenses  of  the  underwriters
expected  to  be incurred with respect to the Bonds,  Debentures,
Entity  Interests, Preferred or Tax-Exempt Bonds will not  exceed
the  lesser  of 3.15% (or in the case of Debentures issued  under
the  Subordinated Debenture Indenture or Entity Interests, 3.25%)
of   the  principal  amount  of  the  Bonds,  Debentures,  Entity
Interests,  Preferred or Tax-Exempt Bonds,  respectively,  to  be
sold or those generally paid at the time of pricing for sales  of
first mortgage bonds, debentures, subsidiary interests, preferred
or  tax-exempt  bonds, respectively, having  the  same  maturity,
issued  by  companies  of comparable credit  quality  and  having
similar terms, conditions and features.


Item 5. Procedure

     The Company requests that the Commission's order authorizing
the  issuance and sale of Bonds, Debentures, Entity Interests and
Preferred, and the acquisition of certain PCRBs for or on  behalf
of  the Company, as described in Item 1, be entered by March  26,
2002,  as  the Company plans to issue and sell Bonds pursuant  to
such order with a pre-closing on such date.


                            SIGNATURE

     Pursuant to the requirements of the Public Utility Holding
Company Act of 1935, the undersigned company has duly caused this
Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Application-Declaration to
be signed on its behalf by the undersigned thereunto duly
authorized.
