Item 8.01 |
Voluntary Disclosure of Other Events |
|
|
On January 28, 2005, Oklahoma Natural Gas Company (ONG), a division of ONEOK, Inc. asked the Oklahoma Corporation Commission (OCC) for a review of its rates, citing ONG's substantial additional investment and other costs in the operation of its natural gas distribution system that serves more than 814,000 customers in Oklahoma. ONG said it was seeking authority to adjust its base rates to produce an additional $99.4 million in annual revenues. Of that amount, $38.5 million would be paid in additional income taxes, with the majority of the remaining $60.9 million to be applied against ONG's increased investment and expenses. The last review by the OCC ended in 2000, but ONG has not had an increase in its base rates since 1995. |
