Case No. RUL-U-21-01
RULES OF PROCEDURE OF THE IDAHO PUBLIC UTILITIES COMM'SS'ON,
DOCKET NO. 31 -01 01 -21 01
Dear Ms. Noriyuki:
ldaho Power Company ('ldaho Powe/' or "Company') appreciates the opportunity to
comment on proposed changes to the ldaho Public Utilities Commission ('Commission"),
Rules of Procedure (IDAPA 31-0'101-2101) noticed in the ldaho Administrative Bulletin on
October 6,2021. The Company actively participated in the negotiated phase of this docket
and reviewed the Commission Staffs recommended changes. ldaho Power appreciates the
thoughtful consideration of the Company's prior informa! comments and supports the
adoption of these changes.
The Commission might also consider adding language in Rule 63 (Service on Parties
and Other Persons) to facilitate service of discovery that exceeds typical email size
limitations. ldaho Power believes language like the following would allow parties to transfer
voluminous data and models of significant size more efficiently than is cunently permitted by
emailservice:
02. Service of Discovery. The service of discovery documents on
parties shall be accomplished by email (as attachments to emai! or the
information necessarv to access the discoverv documents throuoh a data
transfer method). For parties without emailcapability, service shall be made by
ovemight mail, hand delivery, or the next best available service if these
services are not available. See Rule 229.
Very truly yours,
X;!.ff""ut^-*,
