Re: Columbia Gas of Pennsylvania, Inc. Affiliated Interests Agreement;
------------------------------------------------------------------
G-00020929
----------
Dear Secretary XxXxxxx:
On January 16, 2002, Columbia Gas of Pennsylvania, Inc. ("Columbia") filed a
form of Intercompany Income Tax Allocation Agreement with the Pennsylvania
Public Utility Commission ("Commission") for approval under Chapter 21 of the
Public Utility Code. The filing was docketed at G-00020929.
Because the Agreement also must be approved by the Securities and Exchange
Commission ("SEC"), Columbia voluntarily extended the 30 day period under
Section 2102(b) of the Public Utility Code, until receipt of comments from SEC
staff. Columbia has now received those comments and has submitted a revised
draft of the Agreement to the SEC. The SEC will not act until all state
approvals have been obtained.
Columbia, therefore, resubmits the revised Agreement with this letter for
approval pursuant to Chapter 21 of the Public Utility Code. Columbia requests
that the 30 day period under Section 2101(b) commence with filing of this
letter. For the convenience of the Commission, we have enclosed four copies of
the revised Agreement and four copies of the revised Agreement showing the
changes from the Agreement filed on January 16, 2002.
As the SEC will not act until all state approvals have been obtained and
approval of the Agreement is necessary for the filing of 2001 federal tax
filings, we request that the Commission approve the Agreement as quickly as
possible.
