Item 8.01

Voluntary Disclosure of Other Events

On October 4, 2005, we announced that the Oklahoma Corporation Commission issued a final order on our Oklahoma Natural Gas Company division's application for a rate increase. The Corporation Commission unanimously approved an annual rate increase of $57.5 million.

Last January, Oklahoma Natural Gas Company filed an application with the Commission for a rate increase of $99.4 million in additional annual revenue. In July, the Commission's administrative law judge who heard the case recommended an increase in annual revenues of approximately $58 million. Oklahoma Natural Gas implemented new rates on July 28, 2005, based on the judge's report, acting under state law that allows a utility to revise its rates at the end of a 180-day period in the absence of a final order.

This order will have no substantial impact on customers' bills.
