2. LILCO objects to Suffolk County's requests for produc-tion of documents to the extent that they are overly broad, unduely burdensome, and seek information not reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admis-sible evidence.
3. LILCO objects to Suffolk County's requests for produc-tion of documents to the extent that they call for in-formation in a form different from that maintained by LILCO in the ordinary course of its business.
4. LILCO objects to Suffolk County's requests for produc-tion of documents to the extent that they seek informa-tion and documents not in the possession, custody or control of LILCO or LILCO's consultants.
5. LILCO objects to Suffolk County's requests for produc-tion of documents to the extent that they attempt to en-pand the burdens imposed by the Nuclear Regulatory Com-mission's Rules of Practice.
6. LILCO objects to Suffolk County's requests for produc-tion of documents to the extent that they require LILCO and its consultants to produce for inspection and copy-ing numerous documents at the offices of Kirkpatrick, Lockhart, Hill, Christopher & Phillips rather than at the offices of LILCO or LILCO's consultants.
