ITEM 4.  CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT.

As previously reported, the Board of Directors of PDV America, Inc. ("PDV
America"), pursuant to its powers, selected KPMG LLP ("KPMG") on June 25, 2003
as the independent accountant of PDV America, effective immediately. KPMG is the
current independent accountant for Petroleos de Venezuela, S.A., PDV America's
ultimate parent.

During the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2002 and through June 25, 2003, PDV
America did not consult KPMG with respect to the application of accounting
principles to a specified transaction (either completed or proposed), the type
of audit opinion that might be rendered on PDV America's consolidated financial
statements, or any matter that was either the subject of a "disagreement" or a
"reportable event," in all cases as contemplated by Items 304(a)(2)(i) and (ii)
of Regulation S-K as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

         Pursuant to the requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, the Registrant has caused this report to be signed on its
