gh/

BUSINESSMEN FOR THE PUBLIC INTEREST, INC.

To eliminate any possible confusion which may have arisen as a result'of Northern Indiana Public Service Company's ~(NIPSCO) service of interrogatories on' Porter County Chapter Intervenors rather than the three organizations and two individuals which make up that group of intervenors, NIPSCO is again propounding its Second Set of Interrogatories to each organization and individual included in the group of intervenors known as "PCCI."

NIPSCO hereby again serves its Second set of Interrogatories to Businessmen for the Public: Interest, Inc. (hereinafter "BPI"), pursuant to 10 C.F.R. S 2.740b. Each interrogatory is to be answered fully in writing, under oath or affirmation, by an officer or agent of BPI and is to include all pertinent DSV- r information known to BPI. Each answer.should clearly indicate Oll the interrogatory to which it is intended to be responsive.
