response_text:  Avista Corporation (Avista) objects to this Data Request on 
the grounds that it:  (i) seeks information that is not relevant; and (ii) 
seeks information that is unduly burdensome to produce.  (Rules of Procedure 
Governing Rate Hearings, Section 1010.8(b)). Avista further objects to this 
Data Request on the grounds that it is in improper form as it does not cite 
to specific testimony or indicate the specific use to which the information 
sought will be put. (Special Rules of Practice, WP-02-01).  Without waiving 
the foregoing objections, Avista responds as follows:
