NIPSCO has completed its calculation and revised the per kilowatt per Interruptible Billing Demand per month to be applied to the Rate 732, Rate 733 or Rate 734 bill as shown on the attached tariff sheet. NIPSCO does not currently have any customers under Option A. NIPSCO notified all eligible Customers on November 15, 2016 of the new demand credit.

170 IAC 1-6-3(7) states that a filing for which the Commission has already approved or accepted the procedure for the change is an allowable type of filing. In its December 21, 2011 Order in Cause No. 43969, the Commission approved NIPSCO’s use of the 30-Day Filing procedure for this revision. See Order at 17. Thus, this filing is an allowable request under 170 IAC 1-6-3. This filing does not require confidential treatment nor does it seek any other relief identified in 170 IAC 1-6-4, so it is not prohibited under the Commission’s Rule.

In accordance with 170 IAC 1-6-5(2), contact information for the utility regarding this filing is:
