RESPONSE TO REQUEST NO. 25: As the following table illustrates, the differences between the total RS Margin on Exhibit No. 27 and the Distribution Revenue Requirement found on page 4 of Exhibit No. 20, result from the fact that more than just Distribution Revenue Requirement is being included in the RS Margin on Exhibit No. 27. The Distribution Revenue Requirement only addresses the revenue necessary to cover expenses associated with moving gas from the city gate or farm taps of Northwest Pipeline or RESPONSE OF IGC TO SECOND PRODUCTION REQUEST OF THE COMMISSION STAFF Page I Intermountain 's own larger diameter transmission pipelines. See Hart Gilchrist's testimony beginning on page 3 and Exhibit No. 2, p. 2 for a more in depth description of Intermountain 's distribution system. Transmission Revenue Requirement addresses the costs necessary to move natural gas on Intermountain 's large diameter transmission pipelines. Storage Revenue Requirement seeks to recover the costs associated with Intermountain 's LNG facility at Nampa and satellite LNG facility in Rexburg. Other Revenue is also removed from the required revenue, as seen on Exhibit No. 20, p . 2, Line 14. All of these items are included in the RS Margin on Exhibit No. 27. Line Description Reference 1 Total RS Margin Exhibit No. 27, Line 6 2 Distribution Revenue Requirement Exhibit No. 20, p. 4 3 Transmission Revenue Requirement Exhibit No. 20, p. 4 4 Storage Revenue Requirement Exhibit No. 20, p. 4 s Other Revenue Exhibit No. 20, p. 2, Line 14 6 Total Revenue Requirement 7 Difference 8 Difference from Rate Design Exhibit 24, p. 4, Line 133 Record Holder: ---=-M-=i=k-=-e -=M=c~G=r=at=h~; ~2~0-=-8--=-3~7~7~-6'--'0-=-0-=-0 __ Location: -----=5=5-=-5--=S=---=C-=-o=le--=R=-d=,c..:cBcc..co=i=se=, """ID=---a8=3--'-7-=-0-=--7-- Sponsor/Preparer: Lori Blattner; 208-377-6000 Amount $ 60,988,492 $ 56,830,872 3,866,972 2,338,038 (2,048,327) $ 60,987,555 $ 937 $ 937 REQUEST NO. 26: Please describe in detail the components of the capacity, customer, and commodity related revenue requirements for the storage, transmission, distribution and gas functional groups shown on page 4 of Exhibit No. 20. RESPONSE OF JGC TO SECOND PRODUCTION REQUEST OF THE COMMISSION STAFF Page 2 RESPONSE TO REQUEST NO. 26: All of Intermountain 's costs are assigned to one of three classifications based on the characteristics of the cost. These classifiers are capacity, customer and commodity. Both Exhibit Nos. 21 and 22 show how each account has been assigned to these three different classifications. Customer costs are costs that are incurred to extend service to a customer, attach the customer to the distribution system, meter any gas usage and maintain the customer 's account. Examples of costs classified as customer related include the Rate base account Distribution Meters and the O&M account Maintenance of Meters/House Regulators. Capacity costs are those costs associated with a plant that is designed, installed and operated to meet maximum hourly or daily gas flow requirements. Examples of costs classified as capacity include Rate base account Transmission Mains, and the O&M account Maintenance of Mains. Commodity costs are those costs that vary with the throughput sold to, or transported for, customers. These costs are not addressed in the general rate case, but are ruled on each year as part of Intermountain 's PGAfilings. Record Holder: Mike McGrath; 208-377-6000 Location: 555 S Cole Rd, Boise, ID 83707 Sponsor/Preparer: Lori Blattner 208-377-6000 REQUEST NO. 27: Please provide the data and workpapers used to develop the regression equations described on pages 3-5 of Ms. Blattner' s testimony. RESPONSE OF IGC TO SECOND PRODUCTION REQUEST OF THE COMMISSION STAFF Page 3 RESPONSE TO REQUEST NO. 27: The regression equations used for weather normalization and described on pages 3-5 of Ms. Blattner 's testimony follow the methodology outlined in lntermountain 's previous weather normalization case, U-1034-134. The data used in developing the models can be found on the attached CD under the PR 27 folder \Data. The files are: PR 27 RSI data.xlsx PR 27 RS2 data.xlsx PR 27 GS data.xlsx The workpapers used in developing and selecting the final models are included in the PR 27 folder \Workpapers. The file "PR 27 Model Test.xlsx " includes notes on the statistical validity of the models, as well as a review of how the models would have performed under actual weather conditions measured against actual usage for the previous five year period. It is also important to test the models against data that was not included in the model development. This workbook shows that test for the first four months of 2015. Additionally, the Company reviewed how well the models normalized data for the first six months of 2016 in preparation for filing this case. That analysis is shown in the file "PR 27 Weather Normalization Reconciliation.xlsx ". The weather normalization models and methodology are regularly reviewed by Ph.D. statisticians to ensure that the methods follow accepted statistical practice as well as the process approved in case U-1034-134, and that they are appropriate for weather normalization. The opinion letter resultingfrom that review was included in the case as Exhibit No. 18. Included here are the items sent to the consultants (in addition to the items provided above) that assisted them in their analysis (See "PR Consultant Review.pd/''). Also included as "PR 27 Final Models.pd/'' are the final models used by lntermountain for weather normalization.

RESPONSE TO REQUEST NO. 28: The data used to weight the weather data by customers (which is referred to in this response as "Rate Study ") is stored in a clustered Sq/Server database. Data is imported and processed by Sq/Server jobs running on the production server. All code used by Rate Study is stored on the secured production server. The code consists of stored procedures, functions and views. Sq/Server Jobs to collect external data: Rate Study -Import Actual Temps Rate Study -Import Billing Data The section highlighted by dashed lines in Chart I on the following page represents the stored procedure that calculates the normalized temperatures. The weighting is calculated through a series of database views (SQL code) using billing data and normalized temperature data. The final weighted weather is weighted by the proportion of customers in each weather region and billing cycle.

Please explain the following discrepancies, particularly how any corrections might impact the proposed rates: • Application at pg. 2 334,650 • Kivisto Direct at 2, ln. 14 339,000 • Madison Direct at 2, ln. 9 334,650 • Gilchrist Direct at 5, Ins. 2, 3 334,650 • Gaske Direct at 4, ln. 13 320,000 • Blattner Workpaper No. 8 338,798 RESPONSE OF IGC TO SECOND PRODUCTION REQUEST OF THE COMMISSION STAFF Page 6 RESPONSE TO REQUEST NO. 29: The different customer counts provided in the Application and direct testimony of several Company witnesses were for illustrative purposes (see excerpts of the Company 's Application and testimonies below) and none of the numbers referenced on the previous page were used in the determination of the Company 's proposed rates. The Company used fore casted 2016 customer counts in the determination of its proposed rates. The customer count of 3 3 4,650 cited in the Application and in the testimony of Company witnesses Madison and Gilchrist is the average number of customers at December 31, 2015. Ms. Kivisto 's reference to 339,000 customers is taken from the Company 's average customer count at the end of the first quarter of 2016. Mr. Gaske 's customer count reference of 320,000 was an approximation used to make a general comparison with the proxy companies in his analysis. The customer count of 338, 798 attributed to Ms. Blattner is from Workpaper No. 8 of the Company 's October 1, 2016 Purchased Gas Cost Adjustment filing and represents actual residential and commercial customers as of January 31, 2016. As mentioned previously, the determination of the proposed rates are not affected by the different customers counts mentioned above. The Company used 2016 annualforecasted customer counts in the determination of its revenue requirement, cost of service, rate design, and Fixed Cost Collection Mechanism. The Company apologizes for any confusion that may have been caused by referencing different customer counts used for illustrative purposes as noted below. Excerpts from Application and Testimony: Application, p. 2: "lntermountain provides natural gas service in southern Idaho to 75 communities in Idaho and approximately 334,650 customers." RESPONSE OF IGC TO SECOND PRODUCTION REQUEST OF THE COMMISSION STAFF Page 7 Kivisto, p.2: "The rate increase of$10.2 million being requested in this filing is necessary for the Company to continue to provide quality service to its 339,000 customers in Idaho and to improve service by investing in new and replacement infrastructure. " Madison, p.2: "lntermountain provides natural gas distribution services to 75 communities in Idaho, with 243 dedicated employees. During 2015, lntermountain had an average of 334,650 customers in Idaho and the Company's headquarters are located in Boise, Idaho. " Gilchrist, p. 5: "The Company 's current customer base consists of 302, 790 residential customers and 31,860 commercial customers." Gaske, p.4: "lntermountainprovides natural gas distribution service to approximately 320,000 customers in 75 communities in Southern Idaho, operating 290 miles of transmission lines and 6,216 miles of distribution mains. " Blattner, Workpaper No.8: This is from the Company 's October 1, 2016 Purchased Gas Cost Adjustment filing.

Please explain how the ICRM mechanism would have changed the Company's pipeline replacement practices incorporated into this case. Gilchrist Direct at 15, lines 5-7. RESPONSE OF JGC TO SECOND PRODUCTION REQUEST OF THE COMMISSION STAFF Page 8 RESPONSE TO REQUEST NO. 30: An ICRM would not have changed the Company 's pipeline replacement practices prior to or during the pendency of this case. Current Company pipeline replacement practices are in keeping with Industry best practices. However, with an ICRM, the Company would be able to implement an accelerated pipeline replacement program. As it currently stands, identified pipeline replacement projects under DIMP take precedence and may delay other important capital projects in the capital budgeting process. With an ICRM, pipeline replacement would be independent of the Company 's capital budget and would allow the Company to work with the IP UC to gain approval for designated pipeline replacements. Additionally, ICRM would facilitate an accelerated pipeline replacement program identified by DIMP.

Intermountain is using a systematic approach to identify the elevated risk pipe segments .... " Please describe the Company's approach to prioritizing pipeline replacements. Gilchrist Direct at 15, lines 17-18. RESPONSE TO REQUEST NO. 31: The Company utilizes a GIS based risk model through its Distribution Integrity Management Program (DIMP) where various "likelihood of failure " and consequence factors are used to identify and assign risk to all of the Company 's distribution pipelines. The calculated risk values are then used to help prioritize what specific sections of pipe are planned for replacement. The Company then uses performance measures to help identify the effectiveness of the replacement program and makes adjustments to the program as necessary. Adjustments may RESPONSE OF IGC TO SECOND PRODUCTION REQUEST OF THE COMMISSION STAFF Page 9 include increasing the amount of annual footage being replaced or adjusting the risk model algorithms.

Please describe how the Company educates customers about MDFQ and include any applicable publications, instructions, or other documentation. Swenson Direct at 8, lines 10-13. RESPONSE TO REQUEST NO. 32: Taking steps to educate the large volume customers relative to their MDFQ not only helps those customers ensure they obtain their needed level of peak day capacity but, at the same time, affords the Company opportunity to more efficiently manage its finite delivery capacity resource therefore lowering costs for all customers. Whether by email, telephone or in person, Intermountain takes advantage of opportunities to educate customers about the importance of the customer 's MDFQ. Attachment PR32-l shows an example of an email exchange with a customer and the customer 's Marketer relating to the customer 's MDFQ (note: all identifying information has been redacted). It is difficult to specifically identify the many face-to-face discussions or telephone discussions but the following will outline the general process for educating the customer as to their contracted MDFQ and will also identify some tools used in this process. RESPONSE OF IGC TO SECOND PRODUCTION REQUEST OF THE COMMISSION STAFF Page 10 lntermountain makes efforts to remind customers of the purpose of the MDFQ and has developed several tools to help both the company and the customer to accurately project peak day usage. One of those tools is the "Customer Load Summary" or CLS (see file labeled PR#32- Customer Load Summary) and it is particularly valuable when dealing with new customers or existing customers anticipating changes in loads due to additional or replacement equipment. The CLS solicits customer input relating to all gas-fired equipment. Once the company analyzes and validates the provided CLS data, it can determine an estimate of the maximum amount of natural gas a customer can use on an hourly or daily basis. The Company also utilizes actual peak day data when establishing the customer 's contract MDFQ. For new customers, where actual data is unavailable, the CLS data is utilized to help set the initial contract MDFQ. In the included CD, file name PR#32-3-Customer Analysis Sample is an actual analysis shared with a customer (customer identification removed) reflecting the customer 's contract MDFQ vs. their actual historical usage. This type of analysis helps the customer visualize any difference between current and desired MDFQ and tends to result in mutually determined outcomes. Large volume customers have an interest in making sure the MDFQ is correct and this interest has heightened since the Company 's proposed demand charge. Jntermountain has, therefore, prepared an analysis that compares billing under current and proposed general case prices which is particularly effective in showing the financial effect of an MDFQ that does not reflect the customer 's actual natural gas needs. The Company believes that basing the demand charge on the customer 's MDFQ will ensure that customers and the Company are equally committed to contract negotiations and this analysis helps the customers understand the financial and operational impact that the MDFQ will have on its business.
