Item 4.  Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant

(a)  On February 23, 2001, BANK ONE CORPORATION ("BANK ONE"), the parent
corporation for First USA Bank, National Association (the "Bank"), decided to no
longer engage Arthur Andersen LLP ("AA") as its principal accountant and
selected KPMG LLP ("KPMG") to serve as its principal accountant for 2001. The
change in accountants was recommended by the Audit and Risk Management Committee
of BANK ONE's Board of Directors and approved by the Board on February 23, 2001.
The Bank, in its capacity as servicer of the First USA Credit Card Master Trust
(the "Trust"), has also changed the independent accountants for the Trust during
2001 from AA to KPMG. The sole reason for the change of the independent
accountants for the Trust will be to align the independent accountants of the
Trust with those of BANK ONE.

     The Trust does not have financial statements and the reports of independent
accountants for the Trust are limited to (i) examining the assertion of the
Servicer that it has maintained effective internal control over the servicing of
credit card accounts under the Master Pooling and Servicing Agreement for the
Trust, in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of
Certified Public Accountants, (ii) examining, in accordance with standards
established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, the
assertion of the Servicer that it has complied with certain covenants and
conditions set forth in the Master Pooling and Servicing Agreement for the Trust
and (iii) comparing the mathematical calculations of each amount set forth in
the monthly servicer's certificates prepared by the Servicer with the Servicer's
computer reports, which were the source of such amounts.  Therefore, the
standards enumerated in Item 304 of Regulation S-K under the Securities and
Exchange Act of 1934 ("Item 304"), which apply to audits of financial
statements, are not applicable to the services performed for the Trust by
independent accountants.  Nonetheless, the reports of AA with respect to the
Trust for the prior two years ended December 31, 1998 and December 31, 1999 did
not state that either (x) the assertions of the Servicer in clauses (i) and (ii)
above were not fairly stated, in all material respects or (y) the amounts
referred to in clause (iii) above were not in agreement, except for such
exceptions as AA believed to be immaterial. In addition, there were no
disagreements (as defined in the instructions to Item 304 of Regulation S-K)
between AA and the Bank, in its capacity as servicer of the Trust, in connection
with such reports and there have been no such disagreements (as defined in the
instructions to Item 304 of Regulation S-K) between AA and the Bank, in its
capacity as servicer of the Trust, during the period from December 31, 1999
through the date of this filing. AA is in the process of completing its work for
the year ended December 31, 2000 and will issue its reports in March, 2001.

     The Bank has provided a copy of the foregoing statements to AA.  A letter
from AA to the Commission stating their agreement with the statements made
herein is filed as Exhibit 16.01 to this Form 8-K.

(b)  Effective February 23, 2001, the Bank has engaged KPMG as its principal
accountants for 2001. During 1999 and 2000, and during the portion of 2001
preceding the Board's decision, the Bank, in its capacity as servicer of the
Trust, did not consult KPMG in any matter with respect to the Trust or any
matter that was the subject of a disagreement with AA.
