given the irnportance of the discovery sought and the Intervenors' failure to substantiate their objections and assertions of privilege:
[T]he Staff considers that the discovery sought by the Applicants is of fundamental importance to the overall conduct of this proceeding and that a failure by the Intervenors to file proper responses thereto could i
preclude or appreciably delay a proper resolution of this proceeding.
There is simply no merit to the Intervenors' vague, overly broad end unsupported 4
objections and assertions of privilege.
Further, the Staff has sought and intends to seek further discovery from the Intervenors on matters similar to the discovery seucht by the Applicants in their initial discovery request; a proper ruling on the instant motions seeking j
protection from that discovery is important for the proper resolution of any similar motions which the discovery.gayfileinresponsetothisandanyfurtbor Intervenors In that Respense, the Staff indicated that it would address specific 4
deficiencies in the Intervenors' discovery responses in the Staff's respense to the Applicants' ections to corrpel. Upon further review, l
however, the Staff has determined that no further discussion beyond that contcired in the Applicants' Motions is required. Accordingly, for the reasons set forth abeve and in the Applicants' Motions, the Staff supports these l'otions and recorrends that they be granted.
r Respectfully submitted.
