In the case of Alabama and Georgia, such amounts were in addition to the amounts authorized by the December 1994 Order and the January 1996 Order. The Operating Affiliates also requested that such authority be extended through December 31, 2001. Such request was noticed June 21, 1996 (HCAR 26535). -2- By order dated August 26, 1996 (HCAR No. 26560) (the "August 1996 Order") Georgia completed the record and was authorized to issue $400,000,000 of preferred securities and the Operating Companies were authorized, pending completion of the record, to effect the sale of preferred securities in one or more series from time to time through December 31, 2001 in the amount of $250,000,000 in the case of Alabama, $100,000,000 in the case of Georgia, $60,000,000 in the case of Gulf, $60,000,000 in the case of Mississippi and $35,000,000 in the case of Savannah.

Currently, the Commission has jurisdiction reserved regarding the issuance and sale of additional preferred securities in the amounts of $100,000,000 for Georgia, $5,000,000 for Mississippi and $35,000,000 for Savannah.
