COMES NOW, Rocky Mountain Power and hereby serves its first set of data requests on Idaho
Public Utility Commission Staff ("Staff') regarding the above captioned case, pursuant to Rule
225 of the Idaho Public Utilities Commission's Rules of Procedure, IDAPA 3 1.01.01, as follows:
DEFINITIONS AND INSTRUCTIONS
The following definitions and instructions apply to each of the requests for production set
forth herein and are deemed to be incorporated therein.
(1) "Document" and "documentation" should be interpreted as broadly as possible
to include, but not be limited to, the original or any copy, regardless of origin or location, of any
book, pamphlet, periodical publication, letter, scrapbook, diary, calendar, canceled check,
photograph, form, memorandum, schedule, tax return, telegram, telex, report, record, order or
notice of governmental action of any kind, study, minutes, logs, graph, index, tape, disc, internal
operating manual, data sheet or data processing card, or any other written, recorded, transcribed,
punched, taped, filmed, graphic or retrievable matter or data of any kind, however produced or
reproduced, to which you have or have had access. This definition is intended to include, but not
be limited to, all documents which have been created and/or which reside in any type of
electronic format and is to be construed in its most comprehensive sense as contemplated by the
Idaho Rules of Civil Procedure.
(2)"Person or Entity" should be interpreted to denote, unless otherwise specified,
any natural person, firm, corporation, association, group, individual or organization of any type
whatsoever.
(3)Any request to "identify" or "provide" should be interpreted to mean:
a)With respect to a natural person, that person's full name, title, job
description, and business and home address. Where the identification pertains to a past period,
as to each person identified who is still in your employ, or the employment of the group with
which such person is identified in response to any requests, provided, in addition, that person's
title and job description as of the time of such past period. Where the person is no longer in your
employ or the employment of the group with which such person is identified in response to any
request, provide that person's affiliate, position, home and business address, if known, or if not
known, such person's last known affiliation, position, home and business address, or portions
thereof as may be known.
b)With respect to an entity other than a natural person, that entity's name,
2
business, type of entity, present status and present or last known address.
c)With respect to a document, that document's title, date, author (and, if
different, the signer), addresses, recipients, or other persons who assisted in the preparation,
subject matter or general nature, and any amendments thereto, present location and custodian,
whether or not such document is in the respondent's possession, custody or control and whether
or not the document is claimed to be privileged. The final version and each draft of each
document should be identified and produced separately. Each original and each non-identical
copy (bearing marks or notations not found on the original) of each final version and draft of
each document should be identified and produced separately.
d)With respect to a physical facility, the location of the facility, the intended
purpose of the facility, the actual use of such facility, the operating dates of the facility, the
installation date of the facility, the date utilization of the facility terminated if applicable, and
whether the facility is subject to the jurisdiction of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission,
the Idaho Public Utilities Commission, or any other regulatory body.
(4)"Communication" should be interpreted to include, but not be limited to, all
forms of communication, whether written, printed, oral, pictorial, electronic or otherwise,
including testimony or sworn statement, or any means or type whatsoever.
(5)"Relating To" or "Related To" means pertaining to, presenting, discussing,
commenting on, analyzing, or mentioning in any way.
(6)The term "and" and "or" should be construed either disjunctively or
conjunctively whenever appropriate in order to bring within the scope of each request any
information or document which might otherwise be considered to be beyond its scope.
(7)The singular form of a word should be interpreted as plural, and the plural form of
3
a word should be interpreted as singular, whenever appropriate in order to bring within the scope
of each request any information or document which might otherwise be considered to be beyond
its scope.
