Dear Ms. Noriyuki:
Enclosed for electronic filing, please find Idaho Power Company’s Supplemental
Response to the Fifth Production Request of the Commission Staff to Idaho Power
Company.
Due to the collectively voluminous confidential and non-confidential information
provided in response to data requests in this case, the Company is posting the attachment
to these requests to the secure FTP site to allow parties to view the requested information
remotely unless otherwise noted in the response. Because certain attachments contain
confidential information, the FTP site is divided between confidential and non-confidential
information.
The login information for the non-confidential portion of the FTP site has been
provided to all parties that have intervened to date. The login information for the
confidential portion of the FTP site has been provided the parties that have executed the
Protective Agreement in this matter.
If you have any questions about the attached filing, please do not hesitate to
contact me.
Very truly yours,
Megan Goicoechea Allen
