Intermountain requests that this filing be processed under the Commission’s Modified Procedure rules through the use of written comments. Please address communications regarding this Petition to: Lori A.

Bannock St. Boise, Idaho 83702 pnc@givenspursley.com kendrah@givenspursley.com PETITION FOR EXTENSION OF FERC FORM 2 DEADLINE – Page 2 15073494_3_INT-G-20- FERC Form 2 Extension (Clean) In support of this Petition, Intermountain alleges and states as follows: I. INTRODUCTION Intermountain is required to file its completed FERC Form 2 with the Commission by April 15 of each year. In following the Governor’s Stay-Home order, all non-essential staff for Intermountain are currently working from home. This includes the Company’s Accounting personnel that complete the FERC Form 2. Because the software used to complete the report is relatively old, printing the completed report to an electronic format for submission is not possible. The Company requests that the deadline for filing the 2020 FERC Form 2 report be extended from April 15, 2020 to April 30, 2020. Assuming the Governor’s Stay-Home order is lifted by April 20, 2020, the April 30, 2020 deadline should allow adequate time for the Company to print and file the report. If the Stay-Home Order extends past April 20, 2020 and the Company is unable to file the report by April 30, 2020, the Company will make another extension request to the Commission. II. MODIFIED PROCEDURE Intermountain requests that this matter be handled under modified procedure pursuant to Rules 201-204 of the Commission’s Rules of Procedure. Intermountain stands ready for immediate consideration of this matter. III. REQUEST FOR RELIEF Intermountain respectfully petitions the Idaho Public Utilities Commission to issue an Order authorizing an extension of the filing deadline for the Company’s FERC Form 2 from April 15, 2020 to April 30, 2020. DATED: March 31, 2020. INTERMOUNTAIN GAS COMPANY GIVENS PURSLEY LLP By __________________________________ By Lori A. Blattner Preston N.
