l The Staff ob,iects to these interrogatories. The interrogatories are directed to information which was originally provided by Consumers. To select the requested information would require the Staff to sort through all of the voluminous documents provided by Consumers since the soil settlement problem was first reported in August 1978, and tabulate any acceptance criteria that may be found therein.

In the course of the Staff's normal review, it considers all the information submitted by Consumers, but would not ordinarily and did not in this case tabulate any acceptance criteria found in Consumers' documents.

If the purpose of these interrogatories is to obtain the definition of the expression acceptance criteria, that has been provided in the answer to interrogatory 1.

The Staff has provided, in answers to other interrogatories, specific ir. formation concerning the adequacy of Consumers' responses, details as to specific information needed by the Staff, and the relevance of acceptance criteria to those matters.

In light of the above, the Staff submits that forcing the Staff to sort through voluminous documents provided by Consumers for the purpose of tabulating any acceptance criteria that may be found therein would be

- an inappropriate burden on the Staff.

If Consumers believes such a tabulation would assist the resolutio,i of the issues in this proceeding, it would be more appropriate that it extract this infomation from documents it prepared in the first instance.

Respectfully submitted
