Item 5. Other Events
------- ------------
Oklahoma Natural Gas Company (ONG) announced that it will ask
the Oklahoma Supreme Court to overturn an Oklahoma Corporation
Commission order that unfairly denies the company the right to
collect $34.6 million in outstanding gas costs incurred to
serve customers last winter. That order was formally signed
and issued by the commission on November 20, 2001. ONG, a
division of Tulsa-based ONEOK, Inc., is requesting that the
regulatory body postpone enforcing the order while the company
makes its appeal to the Oklahoma Supreme Court. ONEOK is
assessing the potential impact of the commission's order on
the company's earnings.
