SECOND SET OF INTERROGATORIES TO JAMES E. NEWMAN ,
To eliminate any possible. confusion which may have arisen as a result of Northern Indiana Public Service Company'sa (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 Sct of Interrogatories. to each organization and
(
individual included in the group of intervenors known as."PCCI."
l NIPSCO hereby again serves it_s Second Set of Interrogatories 3-to James E. Newman (hereinaf ter "Newman") , pursuant to 10 C.F.R.
S 2.740b. Each interrogatory is to be answered fully in writing, under Oath or affirmation, by Newman and is to include i
all pertinent information known to Newman.
