Item 9. Regulation FD Disclosure.

On March 28, 2002, the Adversary Staff of the Georgia Public Service Commission (GPSC) filed its rebuttal testimony in Atlanta Gas Light Company's (AGLC) earnings review proceeding. The rebuttal testimony increased the Adversary Staff's proposed reduction to AGLC's current rates from $33 million to $42 million. The $9 million increase is primarily based on proposed changes to AGLC's current depreciation rates and methodology. AGLC continues to pursue a negotiated resolution in this matter with the GPSC. Under the current schedule for the earnings review, in the event that a negotiated resolution is not achieved, a final ruling is expected by April 29, 2002, with new rates to go into effect on May 1, 2002.
