I IIL&P's Second Interrogator ien rech the identity of witnecccc (including, but not limited to, experts) whom the Departrent expects to c..ll in thece proceedingc, a car..ary of the testircr.y.ehich cach witne;<, is c xpectcd to (.!fer and the documents upon which each witnocc ray rely.
The Depart-rent center.ds ttat product ion of such inforretion and/or documents is premature at this time.
Addit ionally, the Department believoc that, at the appropriate tire, such information shcuid be exchanged on a mutual and reciprocal basis.
This position is fully concintent with thic Board's instruction that:
Witness licts, brief surnaries of proposed testirony by each uitnccc, and all propoced exh ibits, studien and supportino decurents shall be exc!..nac6 and initialed by councel pro::pt.ly as discovery cc.J ttial properation progrecscs.

The Department is doing its utanct to corplete its discovery an expeditiously as poccibic.
Nonetheless, the Department is still atterpting to resolvo diragreements with IIL&P and other applicants r egarding their fir st formal discovery regucctc If, which requesto relate to the basic 1/ On Februar[~6, 1979, the Departrent served, by rail, oppositions to Texac Ut il it ics Generat ina Ccepany's

Moreover, all partier to this proceeding are still engaged in the first phane of discovery. 2/ In addition to needing adequate tine to review materials cupplied in response to its own requests, the Departcent needs time to review =atcrials which will be produccd in recponse to the
--(footnotc con't)
Departrent served r.ations to compel fuller recponces from TUGCO, lilt.P and the City of '.urtin (with respect to the Depa r t rren t ' c first diceovery requent to it).
Responces to these rtot ionc are pi ct ently d.: r e h r u,.' r y 21, 1979.
Councel f or I:Lt.P rccently f i1ed a rot ic,n ask ing that its tice to respond be extended to !! arch 5, 1979.
2/ ror exa ple, the Public Ctilitien Board of the City of Prounnville ("Brounnville") mailed itn initial interroga-toricc and document requect to central Pcwer t.

I discovery requests of other partiec bef ore raking decinior:n regarding the questionn being csked by 8iL&P in its Second Interrogetoricc.
For thcae reancar, the Departrent respectfully requocts that its obl igat ion to respend to HL&P'c Second Interroga-tories be stayed until such tire as a date can be cet (perhaps at the March 20, 1974 Prchearing Conference) for a mutual exchange among the parties of witness lists, summaries of probable testicony and the like or, in the alternativa, 4
that the Department be given an extension of tire within which to rcopond to UL&P's Second Interrogatories until a reasonable period after e ther:
(1) an unfavorable ruling by the Eocrd regard ing the Departecnt's motion to consel further answers by HLEP to the Departrent's first set of interrogatoriec, or (2) production by HL&P of fuller answers in response to a favorable ruling by the Board with regard to the Department's cotion to corpel.
