1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). Investors and prospective investors should understand that many factors govern whether any forward-looking statement contained herein will be or can be realized. Any one of those factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements concerning NiSource&#8217;s plans, strategies, objectives, expected performance, expenditures, recovery of expenditures through rates, stated on either a consolidated or segment basis, and any and all underlying assumptions and other statements that are other than statements of historical fact. All forward-looking statements are based on assumptions that management believes to be reasonable; however, there can be no assurance that actual results will not differ materially.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the projections, forecasts, estimates and expectations discussed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q include, among other things, NiSource&#8217;s debt obligations; any changes in NiSource&#8217;s credit rating; NiSource&#8217;s ability to execute its growth strategy; changes in general economic, capital and commodity market conditions; pension funding obligations; economic regulation and the impact of regulatory rate reviews; NiSource's ability to obtain expected financial or regulatory outcomes; any damage to NiSource's reputation; compliance with environmental laws and the costs of associated liabilities; fluctuations in demand from residential and commercial customers; economic conditions of certain industries; the success of NIPSCO's electric generation strategy; the price of energy commodities and related transportation costs; the reliability of customers and suppliers to fulfill their payment and contractual obligations; potential impairments of goodwill or definite-lived intangible assets; changes in taxation and accounting principles; potential incidents and other operating risks associated with our business; the impact of an aging infrastructure; the impact of climate change; potential cyber-attacks; construction risks and natural gas costs and supply risks; extreme weather conditions; the attraction and retention of a qualified workforce; advances in technology; the ability of NiSource's subsidiaries to generate cash; uncertainties related to the expected benefits of NiSource's separation from Columbia Pipeline Group, Inc. on July 1, 2015, and other matters set forth in the  &#8220;Risk Factors&#8221; section of NiSource&#8217;s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, many of which risks are beyond the control of NiSource. In addition, the relative contributions to profitability by each business segment, and the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements relating thereto, may change over time.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">All forward-looking statements are expressly qualified in their entirety by the foregoing cautionary statements.

Additionally, NiSource participates in an informal forum of industry peers where questions can be asked and interpretations of the new standard can be shared. Recently, involvement in this group has resulted in additional clarity on industry-specific issues such as treatment of CIAC, scoping of tariff arrangements and presentation of alternative revenue programs. This clarity will help to further NiSource's adoption efforts. NiSource has separated its various revenue streams into high-level categories, which serve as the basis for accounting analysis and documentation as it relates to the pronouncement's impact on NiSource's revenues. Substantially all of NiSource&#8217;s revenues are tariff based, which NiSource concluded will be in scope of ASC 606. NiSource has also undertaken efforts to outline mock footnote disclosures intended to satisfy ASC 606's disclosure requirements. NiSource expects to adopt this ASU effective January 1, 2018. As of March 31, 2017, NiSource has not concluded on a method of adoption.<br></font></div></td></tr><tr><td style="vertical-align:top;background-color:#cceeff;padding-left:2px;padding-top:2px;padding-bottom:2px;padding-right:2px;border-top:1px solid #000000;"><div style="text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">ASU 2016-08, </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations</font></div></td><td style="vertical-align:top;background-color:#cceeff;padding-left:2px;padding-top:2px;padding-bottom:2px;padding-right:2px;border-top:1px solid #000000;"><div style="text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">The pronouncement clarifies the principal versus agent guidance in ASU 2014-09.

This includes compiling a list of all contracts that could meet the definition of a lease under the new standard and evaluating the accounting for these contracts under the new standard to determine the ultimate impact the new standard will have on NiSource&#8217;s financial statements.

Upon adoption, NiSource elected to begin accounting for forfeitures of share-based awards as they occur. The impact of this change was not material. Additionally, NiSource recorded a $25.3 million credit to beginning retained deficit. This adjustment represents excess tax benefits generated in years prior to 2016 that were previously not recognized in stockholders' equity due to NOLs in those years. Both of these adjustments were adopted on a modified retrospective basis. Lastly, NiSource recorded income tax benefits of $7.2 million related to excess tax benefits generated in 2016. This provision was adopted on a prospective basis. However, because NiSource adopted the standard during an interim period, the standard required this $7.2 million benefit be reflected as though it was adopted as of January 1, 2016. Quarter-to-date March 31, 2016 and June 30, 2016 earnings per share from continuing operations increased by $0.02 and $0.00, respectively, as a result of the adoption.

Some states allow the recovery of such costs through cost tracking mechanisms. Such tracking mechanisms allow for abbreviated regulatory proceedings in order for the distribution companies to implement charges and recover appropriate costs. Tracking mechanisms allow for more timely recovery of such costs as compared with more traditional cost recovery mechanisms. Examples of such mechanisms include GCR adjustment mechanisms, tax riders, and bad debt recovery mechanisms.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">A portion of the distribution companies' revenue is related to the recovery of gas costs, the review and recovery of which occurs through standard regulatory proceedings. All states in NiSource's operating area require periodic review of actual gas procurement activity to determine prudence and to permit the recovery of prudently incurred costs related to the supply of gas for customers. NiSource distribution companies have historically been found prudent in the procurement of gas supplies to serve customers.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Certain of the NiSource distribution companies have completed rate proceedings involving infrastructure replacement or are embarking upon regulatory initiatives to replace significant portions of their operating systems that are nearing the end of their useful lives.

New rates went into effect on May 1, 2017.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">On December 27, 2016, Columbia of Ohio filed its Notice of Intent to file an application that will request authority for Columbia of Ohio to extend its IRP for an additional five years (2018-2022). Columbia of Ohio&#8217;s application was filed on February 27, 2017. An order is expected by the end of 2017.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">NIPSCO Gas.</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">&#32;</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">On April 30, 2013, then Indiana Governor Pence signed Senate Enrolled Act 560, the TDSIC statute, into law.  Among other provisions, this legislation provides for cost recovery outside of a base rate proceeding for new or replacement electric and gas transmission, distribution, and storage projects that a public utility undertakes for the purposes of safety, reliability, system modernization, or economic development. Provisions of the TDSIC statute require that, among other things, requests for recovery include a seven-year plan of eligible investments. Once the plan is approved by the IURC, eighty percent of eligible costs can be recovered using a periodic rate adjustment mechanism. The cost recovery mechanism is referred to as a TDSIC mechanism.  Recoverable costs include a return on, and of, the investment, including AFUDC, post-in-service carrying charges, operation and maintenance expenses, depreciation and property taxes. The remaining twenty percent of recoverable costs are to be deferred for future recovery in the public utility&#8217;s next general rate case. The periodic rate adjustment mechanism is capped at an annual increase of no more than two percent of total retail revenues. On December 28, 2016, the IURC issued an order on the seven-year plan (2014-2020) within TDSIC-5 approving NIPSCO&#8217;s updated estimate of TDSIC-eligible investments of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$824 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">.  The order also included approval to begin recovery of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$211.6 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;of cumulative net capital spend through June 30, 2016.  New rates went into effect on January 1, 2017. On February 28, 2017, NIPSCO filed TDSIC-6 requesting approval of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$271.3 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;of cumulative net capital spend through December 31, 2016.  An order is expected in June 2017, with new rates effective July 1, 2017.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">Columbia of Massachusetts.</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#ff0000;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">&#32;</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">On July 7, 2014, the Governor of Massachusetts signed into law Chapter 149 of the Acts of 2014, An Act Relative to Natural Gas Leaks (&#8220;the Act&#8221;).  The Act authorizes natural gas distribution companies to file gas infrastructure replacement plans with the Massachusetts DPU to address the replacement of aging natural gas pipeline infrastructure. In addition, the Act provides that the Massachusetts DPU may, after review of the plans, allow the proposed estimated costs of the plan into rates as of May 1 of the subsequent year.  On October 31, 2016, Columbia of Massachusetts filed its GSEP for the 2017 construction year. Columbia of Massachusetts is proposing to recover an incremental </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$8.4 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;for a cumulative revenue requirement of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$17.2 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">. An order was received from the Massachusetts DPU on April 28, 2017, and rates went into effect on May 1, 2017.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">Columbia of Virginia.</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;On April 29, 2016, Columbia of Virginia filed a request with the VSCC, seeking an annual revenue increase of&#160;$</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">37.0 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">. The case was driven by Columbia of Virginia's ongoing capital program to modernize its infrastructure and to expand and upgrade its facilities to meet customer growth, as well as expenditures related to employee training and compliance with pipeline safety regulations.

On February 8, 2017, the hearing examiner in the case filed a report recommending approval of the stipulation and proposed recommendation. On March 17, 2017, by final order, the VSCC approved the settlement agreement without modification. Under terms of the final order, Columbia of Virginia will refund within 90 days the difference between the interim customer rates implemented in 2016 and the rates approved by the final order.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">Columbia of Maryland.</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">&#32;</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">On April 14, 2017, Columbia of Maryland filed a request with the MPSC to adjust its base rates so it can continue to expedite the replacement of aging pipe as well as adopt pipeline safety upgrades. If approved as filed, the rate adjustment would result in an annual revenue increase of approximately $</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">6 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">.

Comparability of Electric Operations line item operating results is impacted by regulatory trackers that allow for the recovery in rates of certain costs such as those described below. Increases in the expenses that are the subject of trackers result in a corresponding increase in net revenues and therefore have essentially no impact on total operating income results.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Certain operating costs of the Electric Operations are significant, recurring in nature, and generally outside the control of NIPSCO. The IURC allows for recovery of such costs through cost tracking mechanisms. Such tracking mechanisms allow for abbreviated regulatory proceedings in order for NIPSCO to implement charges and recover appropriate costs. Tracking mechanisms allow for more timely recovery of such costs as compared with more traditional cost recovery mechanisms. Examples of such mechanisms include electric energy efficiency programs, MISO non-fuel costs and revenues, resource capacity charges, federally mandated costs and environmental related costs.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">A portion of NIPSCO's revenue is related to the recovery of fuel costs to generate power and the fuel costs related to purchased power.  These costs are recovered through a FAC, a quarterly regulatory proceeding in Indiana.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">NIPSCO has approval from the IURC to recover certain environmental related costs through an ECT. Under the ECT, NIPSCO is permitted to recover (1)&#160;AFUDC and a return on the capital investment expended by NIPSCO to implement environmental compliance plan projects and (2)&#160;related operation and maintenance and depreciation expenses once the environmental facilities become operational. On January 31, 2017, NIPSCO filed ECR-29 which included </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$261.1 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;of net capital expenditures for the period ended December 31, 2016.

variability in cash flows associated with natural gas purchases and volatility in natural gas prices. NiSource purchases natural gas for sale and delivery to its retail, commercial and industrial customers, and for most customers the variability in the market price of gas is passed through in their rates. Some of NiSource&#8217;s utility subsidiaries offer programs where variability in the market price of gas is assumed by the respective utility. The objective of NiSource&#8217;s commodity price risk programs is to mitigate the gas cost variability, for NiSource or on behalf of its customers, associated with natural gas purchases or sales by economically hedging the various gas cost components using a combination of futures, options, forwards or other derivative contracts.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">NIPSCO received IURC approval to lock in a fixed price for its natural gas customers using long-term forward purchase instruments. The term of these instruments may range from five to ten years and is limited to ten percent of NIPSCO&#8217;s average annual GCA purchase volume. Gains and losses on these derivative contracts will be deferred as regulatory liabilities or assets and will be remitted to or collected from customers through NIPSCO&#8217;s quarterly GCA mechanism. These instruments are not designated as accounting hedges.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;text-decoration:underline;">Interest Rate Risk Management</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">As of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">March&#160;31, 2017</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, NiSource Finance has forward-starting interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional value totaling&#160;</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$1.5 billion</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;to hedge the variability in cash flows attributable to changes in the benchmark interest rate during the periods from the effective dates of the swaps to the anticipated dates of forecasted debt issuances, which are expected to take place by the end of 2018. These interest rate swaps are designated as cash flow hedges. The effective portions of the gains and losses related to these swaps are recorded to AOCI and are recognized in earnings concurrent with the recognition of interest expense on the associated debt, once issued. If it becomes probable that a hedged forecasted transaction will no longer occur, the accumulated gains or losses on the derivative will be recognized currently in earnings. Earnings may also be impacted if the anticipated dates of forecasted debt issuances differ from the dates of the interest rate swaps.</font></div><div><br></div><div style="text-align:center;"><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">17</font></div></div><hr style="page-break-after:always"><div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:12px;font-size:9pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:9pt;color:#0000ff;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">Table of Contents</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:8px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;text-decoration:underline;">ITEM 1.

exchange-traded NYMEX futures and NYMEX options and non-exchange-based forward purchase contracts. Exchange-traded derivative contracts are based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets and are classified within Level 1. These financial assets and liabilities are secured with cash on deposit with the exchange; therefore, nonperformance risk has not been incorporated into these valuations. Certain non-exchange-traded derivatives are valued using broker or over-the-counter, on-line exchanges. In such cases, these non-exchange-traded derivatives are classified within Level 2. Non-exchange-based derivative instruments include swaps, forwards and options. In certain instances, these instruments may utilize models to measure fair value. NiSource uses a similar model to value similar instruments. Valuation models utilize various inputs that include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, other observable inputs for the asset or liability and market-corroborated </font></div><div><br></div><div style="text-align:center;"><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">18</font></div></div><hr style="page-break-after:always"><div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:12px;font-size:9pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:9pt;color:#0000ff;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">Table of Contents</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:8px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;text-decoration:underline;">ITEM 1.

Where observable inputs are available for substantially the full term of the asset or liability, the instrument is categorized within Level 2. Certain derivatives trade in less active markets with a lower availability of pricing information and models may be utilized in the valuation. When such inputs have a significant impact on the measurement of fair value, the instrument is categorized within Level 3. Credit risk is considered in the fair value calculation of derivative instruments that are not exchange-traded. Credit exposures are adjusted to reflect collateral agreements which reduce exposures.

These swaps are designated as cash flow hedges. Credit risk is considered in the fair value calculation of each interest rate swap. As they are based on observable data and valuations of similar instruments, the interest rate swaps are categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. There was no exchange of premium at the initial date of the swaps, and NiSource can settle the swaps at any time.

Such agreements include guarantees and stand-by letters of credit. These agreements are entered into primarily to support or enhance the creditworthiness otherwise attributed to a subsidiary on a stand-alone basis, thereby facilitating the extension of sufficient credit to accomplish the subsidiaries&#8217; intended commercial purposes.

Due to the inherent uncertainty of litigation, there can be no assurance that the resolution of any particular claim or proceeding would not have a material adverse effect on the Company&#8217;s results of operations, financial position or liquidity. If one or more of such matters were decided against the Company, the effects could be material to the Company&#8217;s results of operations in the period in which the Company would be required to record or adjust the related liability and could also be material to the Company&#8217;s cash flows in the periods the Company would be required to pay such liability.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">C.

However, there can be no assurance that fines and penalties will not be incurred. Management expects a significant portion of environmental assessment and remediation costs to be recoverable through rates for certain NiSource companies.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">As of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">March&#160;31, 2017</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;and </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">December&#160;31, 2016</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, NiSource had recorded a liability of approximately </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$109.3 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;and </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$111.4 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, respectively, to cover environmental remediation at various sites. The current portion of this liability is included in "Legal and environmental" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets (unaudited). The noncurrent portion is included in "Other noncurrent liabilities" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets (unaudited). NiSource recognizes costs associated with environmental remediation obligations when the incurrence of such costs is probable and the amounts can be reasonably estimated. The original estimates for remediation activities may differ materially from the amount ultimately expended. The actual future expenditures depend on many factors, including currently enacted laws and regulations, the nature and extent of impact, the method of remediation and the availability of cost recovery. These expenditures are not currently estimable at some sites. NiSource periodically adjusts its liability as information is collected and estimates become more refined.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Electric Operations' compliance estimates disclosed below are reflective of NIPSCO's Integrated Resource Plan submitted to the IURC on November 1, 2016.

NiSource will continue to closely monitor developments in these matters.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">Climate Change.</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;&#32;Future legislative and regulatory programs, including implementation of the EPA CPP, could significantly limit allowed GHG emissions or impose a cost or tax on GHG emissions. Additionally, rules that increase methane leak detection, require emission reductions or impose additional requirements for natural gas facilities could restrict GHG emissions and impose additional costs. The CPP and other federally enacted or proposed GHG reduction measures are subject to numerous legal challenges that could change the way the programs are implemented, and NiSource will carefully monitor all GHG reduction proposals and regulations.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">National Ambient Air Quality Standards.</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;The CAA requires the EPA to set NAAQS for six "criteria" air pollutants considered harmful to public health and the environment. Periodically, the EPA imposes new, or modifies existing, NAAQS. States containing areas that do not meet the new or revised standards, or contribute significantly to nonattainment of downwind states, may be required to take steps to achieve and maintain compliance with the standards. These steps could include additional pollution controls on boilers, engines, turbines and other facilities owned by electric generation and gas distribution operations.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Ozone:</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;On October 26, 2015, the EPA issued a final rule to lower the 8-hour ozone standard from </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">75 ppb</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;to </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">70 ppb</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">. After the EPA proceeds with designations, areas where NiSource operates that are currently designated in attainment with the standards may be reclassified as nonattainment. NiSource will continue to monitor this matter and cannot estimate its impact at this time.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Clean Power Plan.</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;On October 23, 2015, the EPA issued a final rule to regulate CO</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><sub style="vertical-align:bottom;line-height:120%;font-size:7pt">2</sub></font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;emissions from existing fossil-fuel EGUs under section 111(d) of the CAA. The final rule establishes national CO</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><sub style="vertical-align:bottom;line-height:120%;font-size:7pt">2</sub></font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;emission-rate standards that are applied to each state&#8217;s mix of affected EGUs to establish state-specific emission-rate and mass-emission limits. The final rule requires each state to submit a plan indicating how the state will meet the EPA's emission-rate or mass-emission limit, including possibly imposing reduction obligations on specific units. If a state does not submit a satisfactory plan, the EPA will impose a federal plan on that state. On February 9, 2016, the U.S. Supreme Court stayed implementation of the CPP until litigation is decided on its merits. The cost to comply with this rule will depend on a number of factors, including the outcome of CPP litigation, the requirements of the state plan or final federal plan, and the level of NIPSCO's required CO</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><sub style="vertical-align:bottom;line-height:120%;font-size:7pt">2</sub></font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;emission reductions. It is possible that this new rule, comprehensive federal or state GHG legislation or other GHG regulation could result in additional expense or compliance costs that could materially impact NiSource's financial results. NIPSCO will continue to monitor this matter and cannot estimate its impact at this time. Should costs be incurred to comply with the CPP, NIPSCO believes such costs will be eligible for recovery through customer rates.</font></div><div><br></div><div style="text-align:center;"><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">23</font></div></div><hr style="page-break-after:always"><div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:12px;font-size:9pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:9pt;color:#0000ff;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">Table of Contents</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:8px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;text-decoration:underline;">ITEM 1.

Additionally, NiSource affiliates have retained environmental liabilities, including remediation liabilities, associated with certain former operations.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">MGP.</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;A program has been instituted to identify and investigate former MGP sites where Gas Distribution Operations subsidiaries or predecessors may have liability. The program has identified  </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">64</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;such sites where liability is probable. Remedial actions at many of these sites are being overseen by state or federal environmental agencies through consent agreements or voluntary remediation agreements.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">NiSource utilizes a probabilistic model to estimate its future remediation costs related to its MGP sites. The model was prepared with the assistance of a third-party and incorporates NiSource and general industry experience with remediating MGP sites. NiSource completes an annual refresh of the model in the second quarter of each fiscal year. No material changes to the estimated future remediation costs were noted as a result of the refresh completed as of June 30, 2016. The total estimated liability at NiSource related to the facilities subject to remediation was </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$103.9 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;and </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$105.5 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;at </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">March&#160;31, 2017</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;and </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">December&#160;31, 2016</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, respectively. The liability represents NiSource&#8217;s best estimate of the probable cost to remediate the facilities. NiSource believes that it is reasonably possible that remediation costs could vary by as much as </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$25 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;in addition to the costs noted above. Remediation costs are estimated based on the best available information, applicable remediation standards at the balance sheet date, and experience with similar facilities.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">CCRs. </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">On April 17, 2015, the EPA issued a final rule for regulation of CCRs. The rule regulates CCRs under the RCRA Subtitle D, which determines them to be nonhazardous. The rule is implemented in phases and requires increased groundwater monitoring, reporting, record keeping and posting of related information to the Internet. The rule also establishes requirements related to CCR management and disposal. The rule will allow NIPSCO to continue its byproduct beneficial use program.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">The publication of the CCR rule resulted in revisions to previously recorded legal obligations associated with the retirement of certain NIPSCO facilities. The actual asset retirement costs related to the CCR rule may vary substantially from the estimates used to record the increased asset retirement obligation due to the uncertainty about the compliance strategies that will be used and the preliminary nature of available data used to estimate costs. In addition, to comply with the rule, NIPSCO will be required to incur future capital expenditures to modify its infrastructure and manage CCRs. Capital compliance costs are currently expected to cost approximately </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$230 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">. As allowed by the EPA, NIPSCO will continue to collect data over time to determine the specific compliance solutions and associated costs and, as a result, the actual costs may vary. NIPSCO has filed a petition with the IURC seeking approval of the projects and to recover the costs associated with CCR compliance. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;text-decoration:underline;">Water</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">ELG. </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">On November 3, 2015, the EPA issued a final rule to amend the ELG and standards for the Steam Electric Power Generating category. The final rule became effective January 4, 2016. The rule imposes new water treatment and discharge requirements on NIPSCO's electric generating facilities to be applied between 2018 and 2023. On April 24, 2017, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals granted the EPA's motion to hold in abeyance the litigation challenging the ELG, while the EPA proceeds with review and reconsideration of the ELG. On April 25, 2017, the EPA published notice in the Federal Register that the EPA is reconsidering the ELG in response to two petitions for reconsideration and that the EPA administratively stays all future ELG compliance deadlines during its review. NIPSCO is unable to estimate the impact of the EPA stay and reconsideration at this time. Based upon a preliminary engineering study, capital compliance costs are currently expected to cost approximately </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$170 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">.  NIPSCO has filed a petition with the IURC seeking approval of the projects and to recover the costs associated with ELG compliance.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">D</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">.

The upgrade sponsors agreed to reimburse NIPSCO for the total cost to construct transmission upgrades and place them into service, multiplied by a rate of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">1.71</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;("the multiplier"). </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">On June 10, 2014, certain upgrade sponsors for both TUAs filed a complaint at the FERC against NIPSCO regarding the multiplier stated in the TUAs. On June 30, 2014, NIPSCO filed an answer defending the terms of the TUAs and the just and reasonable nature of the multiplier charged therein and moved for dismissal of the complaint. On December 8, 2014, the FERC issued an order in response to the complaint finding that it is appropriate for NIPSCO to recover, through the multiplier, substantiated costs of ownership related to the TUAs. On August 10, 2016, NIPSCO reached settlement with all remaining parties to the complaint and filed with the FERC for approval. An order from the FERC approving the settlement was received on January 31, 2017. Receipt of the FERC order did not result in a material impact to the Consolidated Financial Statements. </font></div><div><br></div><div style="text-align:center;"><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">24</font></div></div><hr style="page-break-after:always"><div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:12px;font-size:9pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:9pt;color:#0000ff;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">Table of Contents</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:8px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;text-decoration:underline;">ITEM 1.

Accordingly, the multiplier included a provision for such taxes. On June 10, 2016, the U.S. Treasury Department issued a notice regarding transfers of property to regulated utilities by electric generators, stating that transfers within the scope of the notice will not be treated as taxable. In response to this notice, NIPSCO recorded a liability of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$8.6 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;to reflect the estimated amount owed to the upgrade sponsors for the portion of the multiplier previously collected for taxes. This activity was recorded within "Other, net" in the 2016 Statement of Consolidated Income. On April 4, 2017, the U.S. Internal Revenue Service issued a private letter ruling to NIPSCO.  The ruling provides that the deemed contribution of the intertie and all sums paid for construction meet the safe harbor requirements of Notice 2016-36 and, upon filing a change in accounting method, are excludable from gross income as a non-shareholder contribution to capital.  The receipt of the private letter ruling  will not have a material impact to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited).</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">PHMSA Transmission.</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;On March 17, 2016, PHMSA issued a proposed rule that would, if adopted, add new assessment and data requirements to existing transmission facilities that would necessitate expanded investigation and repair/replace activity on these facilities over the next 15 years. The comment period for the proposed rule closed on July 7, 2016. However, the final timing and scope of this rule remains uncertain. If adopted as proposed, this rule may require NiSource to incur significant incremental capital and operation and maintenance expenditures to achieve compliance. NiSource will continue to monitor this matter, and cannot reasonably estimate its impact at this time.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">PHMSA EFV.</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">&#32;</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">On October 14, 2016, PHMSA issued a final rule that expands safety requirements for EFVs. Among the rule's provisions is a requirement for utilities to notify customers whose service lines are not currently equipped with an EFV of their right to request installation of an EFV. The rule took effect April 14, 2017. During 2017, NiSource's operating companies posted notifications on their websites in compliance with the rule and sought regulatory authority for their proposed cost recovery plans with their respective state regulatory commissions. The outcome of those proposed plans remains pending before the commissions. NiSource continues to evaluate the potential impacts of this regulation on its operations and cannot reasonably estimate its impact at this time.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">NIPSCO 2016 Integrated Resource Plan.</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">&#32;</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Environmental, regulatory and economic factors, including low natural gas prices and aging coal-fired units, have led NIPSCO to consider modifying its current electric generation supply mix to include less coal-fired generation. </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">&#32;</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Due to enacted CCR and ELG legislation, NIPSCO would expect to incur over </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$1 billion</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;in operating, maintenance, environmental and other costs over the next seven years if the current fleet of coal-fired generating units remain operational. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">On November 1, 2016, NIPSCO submitted its 2016 Integrated Resource Plan with the IURC. The plan evaluated demand-side and supply-side resource alternatives to reliably and cost effectively meet NIPSCO customers' future energy requirements over the ensuing twenty years. The 2016 Integrated Resource Plan indicates that the most viable option for customers and NIPSCO involves the retirement of Bailly Generating Station (Units 7 and 8) as soon as mid-2018 and two units (Units 17 and 18) at the R.M. Schahfer Generating Station by the end of 2023. It is projected over the long term that the cost to customers to retire these units at these dates will be lower than maintaining and upgrading them for continuing generation. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">NiSource and NIPSCO committed to the retirement of the Bailly Generating Station units in connection with the filing of the 2016 Integrated Resource Plan, pending approval by the MISO. In the fourth quarter of 2016, the MISO approved NIPSCO's plan to retire the Bailly Generating Station units by May 31, 2018. In accordance with ASC 980-360, the remaining net book value of the Bailly Generating Station units was reclassified from "Net utility plant" to "Other property, at cost, less accumulated depreciation" on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets (unaudited).   </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">In connection with the MISO's approval of NIPSCO's planned retirement of the Bailly Generating Station units, NiSource recorded $</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">22.1 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;of plant retirement-related charges in the fourth quarter of 2016. These charges were comprised of contract termination charges related to NIPSCO's capital lease with Pure Air (discussed further below), voluntary employee severance benefits, and write downs of certain materials and supplies inventory balances. These charges are presented within "Operation and maintenance" on the Statements of Consolidated Income. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">NIPSCO Pure Air.</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;NIPSCO has a service agreement with Pure Air, a general partnership between Air Products and Chemicals, Inc. and First Air Partners LP, under which Pure Air provides scrubber services to reduce sulfur dioxide emissions for Units 7 and 8 at the Bailly Generating Station. Services under this contract commenced on July&#160;1, 1992 and expired on June&#160;30, 2012. The agreement was renewed effective July 1, 2012 for </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">ten</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;years requiring NIPSCO to pay for the services under a combination of fixed and variable charges. NiSource has made an exhaustive effort to obtain information needed from Pure Air to determine the status of Pure Air as a VIE. However, NIPSCO has not been able to obtain this information and, as a result, it is unclear whether Pure Air is a VIE and if NIPSCO is the primary beneficiary.

In accordance with GAAP, the renewed agreement was evaluated to determine whether the arrangement qualifies as a lease. Based on the terms of the agreement, the arrangement qualified for capital lease accounting. As the effective date of the new agreement was July&#160;1, 2012, NiSource capitalized this lease beginning in the third quarter of 2012.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">As further discussed above in this Note </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">14</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;under the heading "NIPSCO 2016 Integrated Resource Plan," NIPSCO plans to retire the generation station units serviced by Pure Air by May 31, 2018. In December 2016, as allowed by the provisions of the service agreement, NIPSCO provided Pure Air formal notice of intent to terminate the service agreement, effective May 31, 2018. Providing this notice to Pure Air triggered a contract termination liability of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$16 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;which was recorded in fourth quarter of 2016. This expense was included as part of the plant retirement-related charges discussed above. Payment of this liability is not due until NIPSCO ceases use of the scrubber services. The liability is presented in "Other noncurrent liabilities" on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets (unaudited). In addition, NIPSCO remeasured the remaining capital lease asset and obligation to reflect the change in estimated remaining minimum lease payments. This remeasurement was a non-cash transaction that had no impact on the Statements of Consolidated Income. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Technology Services. </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">On December 31, 2013, NiSource Corporate Services Company signed a seven-year agreement with IBM to continue to provide business process and support functions to NiSource under a combination of fixed and variable charges, with the variable charges fluctuating based on the actual need for such services.

These strategies are intended to improve reliability and safety, enhance customer services and reduce emissions while generating sustainable returns. Additionally, NiSource continues to pursue regulatory and legislative initiatives that will allow residential customers not currently on NiSource's system to obtain gas service in a cost effective manner.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;text-decoration:underline;">Summary of  Consolidated Financial Results </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">On a consolidated basis, NiSource reported net income of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$211.3 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, or </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$0.65</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;per basic share for the three months ended </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">March&#160;31, 2017</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, compared to </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$186.6 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, or </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$0.58</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;per basic share for the same period in </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">2016</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">. The increase in net income during </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">2017</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;was due primarily to increased operating income, as discussed below.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">For the three months ended </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">March&#160;31, 2017</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, NiSource reported operating income of  </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$416.5 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;compared to </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$381.4 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;for the same period in </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">2016</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">. The higher operating income was primarily due to increased net revenues from new rates from base-rate proceedings and infrastructure replacement programs and increased rates from incremental capital spend on electric transmission projects at NIPSCO, partially offset by lower net revenues due to warmer weather. Operating expenses increased due to higher employee and administrative expenses, increased outside service costs, higher materials and supplies expenses and increased depreciation expense, partially offset by decreased amortization.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">These factors and other impacts to the financial results are discussed in more detail within the following discussions of &#8220;Results of Operations,&#8221;  &#8220;Results and Discussion of Segment Operations&#8221; and &#8220;Liquidity and Capital Resources.&#8221;</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Capital Investment.</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;In the </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">three months ended</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">2017</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, NiSource invested </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$312.0 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;in capital expenditures across its gas and electric utilities.

Therefore, increases in these tracked operating expenses are offset by increases in net revenues and have essentially no impact on income from continuing operations.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;text-decoration:underline;">Three months ended March 31, </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;text-decoration:underline;">2017</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;text-decoration:underline;">&#32;vs. March 31, </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;text-decoration:underline;">2016</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;text-decoration:underline;">&#32;Operating Income</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">For the </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">first</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;quarter of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">2017</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, Gas Distribution Operations reported operating income of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$340.7 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, an increase of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$25.8 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;from the comparable </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">2016</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;period.</font></div><div><br></div><div style="text-align:center;"><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">32</font></div></div><hr style="page-break-after:always"><div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:9pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:9pt;color:#0000ff;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">Table of Contents</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;text-decoration:underline;">ITEM 2.</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;text-decoration:underline;">MANAGEMENT&#8217;S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:8px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">NiSource Inc.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:9pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:9pt;font-weight:bold;">Gas Distribution Operations</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:9pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:9pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:9pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:9pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:9pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:9pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:9pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:9pt;"><br></font></div></div><div><br></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Net revenues for first quarter of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">2017</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;were </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$743.6 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, an increase of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$77.0 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;from the same period in </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">2016</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">.

NiSource's composite heating degree days reported do not directly correlate to the weather-related dollar impact on the results of Gas Distribution Operations. Heating degree days experienced during different times of the year or in different operating locations may have more or less impact on volume and dollars depending on when and where they occur. When the detailed results are combined for reporting, there may be weather-related dollar impacts on operations when there is not an apparent or significant change in the aggregated NiSource composite heating degree day comparison.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Weather in the Gas Distribution Operations service territories for the </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">first</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;quarter of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">2017</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;was about </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">18%</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;warmer than normal and about </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">9%</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;warmer than </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">2016</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, decreasing net revenues $7.8 million for the quarter ended </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">March&#160;31, 2017</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;compared to </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">2016</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;text-decoration:underline;">Throughput</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Total volumes sold and transported for the </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">first</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;quarter of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">2017</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;were </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">326.4</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;MMDth, compared to </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">344.6</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;MMDth for </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">2016</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">.

Gas costs are treated as pass-through costs and have no impact on the net revenues recorded in the period. The gas costs included in revenues are matched with the gas cost expense recorded in the period and the difference is recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets (unaudited) as under-recovered or over-recovered gas cost to be included in future customer billings.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">At NIPSCO, sales revenues and customer billings are adjusted for amounts related to under and over-recovered purchased gas costs from prior periods per regulatory order.

of sales (excluding depreciation and amortization). Cost of sales at the Electric Operations segment is principally comprised of the cost of coal, related handling costs, and natural gas purchased for the internal generation of electricity at NIPSCO and the cost of power purchased from third-party generators of electricity.

Heating or cooling degree days experienced during different times of the year may have more or less impact on volume and dollars depending on when they occur.

The plan evaluated demand-side and supply-side resource alternatives to reliably and cost effectively meet NIPSCO customers' future energy requirements over the ensuing twenty years. The 2016 Integrated Resource Plan indicates that the most viable option for customers and NIPSCO involves the retirement of Bailly Generating Station (Units 7 and 8) as soon as mid-2018 and two units (Units 17 and 18) at the R.M. Schahfer Generating Station by the end of 2023.

The extent to which NiSource properly and effectively identifies, assesses, monitors and manages each of the various types of risk involved in its businesses is critical to its profitability. NiSource seeks to identify, assess, monitor and manage, in accordance with defined policies and procedures, the following principal market risks that are involved in NiSource&#8217;s businesses: commodity price risk, interest rate risk and credit risk. Risk management at NiSource is a multi-faceted process with oversight by the Risk Management Committee that requires constant communication, judgment and knowledge of specialized products and markets. NiSource&#8217;s senior management takes an active role in the risk management process and has developed policies and procedures that require specific administrative and business functions to assist in the identification, assessment and control of various risks. These may include but are not limited to market, operational, financial, compliance and strategic risk types. In recognition of the increasingly varied and complex nature of the energy business, NiSource&#8217;s risk management process, policies and procedures continue to evolve and are subject to ongoing review and modification.</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:8pt;">&#160;</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;text-decoration:underline;">Commodity Price Risk</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">NiSource is exposed to commodity price risk as a result of its subsidiaries&#8217; operations involving natural gas and power. To manage this market risk, NiSource&#8217;s subsidiaries use derivatives, including commodity futures contracts, swaps, forwards and options. NiSource does not participate in speculative energy trading activity.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:12px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Commodity price risk resulting from derivative activities at NiSource&#8217;s rate-regulated subsidiaries is limited, since regulations allow recovery of prudently incurred purchased power, fuel and gas costs through the ratemaking process, including gains or losses on these derivative instruments. If states should explore additional regulatory reform, these subsidiaries may begin providing services without the benefit of the traditional ratemaking process and may be more exposed to commodity price risk. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">NiSource subsidiaries are required to make cash margin deposits with their brokers to cover actual and potential losses in the value of outstanding exchange traded derivative contracts. The amount of these deposits, which are reflected in NiSource&#8217;s restricted cash balance, may fluctuate significantly during periods of high volatility in the energy commodity markets.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:12px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Refer to Note </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">6</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, "Risk Management Activities," in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) for further information on NiSource's commodity price risk assets and liabilities as of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">March&#160;31, 2017</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;or </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">December&#160;31, 2016</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:12px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;text-decoration:underline;">Interest Rate Risk</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">NiSource is exposed to interest rate risk as a result of changes in interest rates on borrowings under its revolving credit agreement, commercial paper program, accounts receivable programs and term loan, which have interest rates that are indexed to short-term market interest rates.

NiSource&#8217;s extension of credit is governed by a Corporate Credit Risk Policy. In addition, Risk Management Committee guidelines are in place which document management approval levels for credit limits, evaluation of creditworthiness, and credit risk mitigation efforts. Exposures to credit risks are monitored by the risk management function which is independent of commercial operations. Credit risk arises due to the possibility that a customer, supplier or counterparty will not be able or willing to fulfill its obligations on a transaction on or before the settlement date. For derivative-related contracts, credit risk arises when counterparties are obligated to deliver or purchase defined commodity units of gas or power to NiSource at a future date per execution of contractual terms and conditions. Exposure to credit risk is measured in terms of both current obligations and the market value of forward positions net of any posted collateral such as cash and letters of credit.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">NiSource closely monitors the financial status of its banking credit providers.

This change, compared to the previous method, resulted in a decrease in the actuarially-determined service and interest cost components. Historically, NiSource estimated service and interest costs utilizing a single weighted-average discount rate derived from the yield curve used to measure the benefit obligation at the beginning of the period. NiSource now utilizes a full yield curve approach to estimate these components by applying the specific spot rates along the yield curve used in the determination of the benefit obligation to the relevant projected cash flows. NiSource believes the new approach provides a more precise measurement of service and interest costs by aligning the timing of the plan&#8217;s liability cash flows to the corresponding spot rates on the yield curve. The benefit obligations measured under this approach are unchanged. NiSource accounted for this change as a prospective change in accounting estimate.

Legal Proceedings.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; The Company is party to certain claims and legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, none of which is deemed to be individually material at this time. Due to the inherent uncertainty of litigation, there can be no assurance that the resolution of any particular claim or proceeding would not have a material adverse effect on the Company&amp;#8217;s results of operations, financial position or liquidity. If one or more of such matters were decided against the Company, the effects could be material to the Company&amp;#8217;s results of operations in the period in which the Company would be required to record or adjust the related liability and could also be material to the Company&amp;#8217;s cash flows in the periods the Company would be required to pay such liability.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;"&gt;C.     Environmental Matters.   &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;NiSource operations are subject to environmental statutes and regulations related to air quality, water quality, hazardous waste and solid waste. NiSource believes that it is in substantial compliance with the environmental regulations currently applicable to its operations.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;It is management's continued intent to address environmental issues in cooperation with regulatory authorities in such a manner as to achieve mutually acceptable compliance plans. However, there can be no assurance that fines and penalties will not be incurred. Management expects a significant portion of environmental assessment and remediation costs to be recoverable through rates for certain NiSource companies.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;As of &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;March&amp;#160;31, 2017&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; and &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;December&amp;#160;31, 2016&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;, NiSource had recorded a liability of approximately &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$109.3 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; and &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$111.4 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;, respectively, to cover environmental remediation at various sites. The current portion of this liability is included in "Legal and environmental" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets (unaudited). The noncurrent portion is included in "Other noncurrent liabilities" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets (unaudited). NiSource recognizes costs associated with environmental remediation obligations when the incurrence of such costs is probable and the amounts can be reasonably estimated. The original estimates for remediation activities may differ materially from the amount ultimately expended. The actual future expenditures depend on many factors, including currently enacted laws and regulations, the nature and extent of impact, the method of remediation and the availability of cost recovery. These expenditures are not currently estimable at some sites. NiSource periodically adjusts its liability as information is collected and estimates become more refined.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;Electric Operations' compliance estimates disclosed below are reflective of NIPSCO's Integrated Resource Plan submitted to the IURC on November 1, 2016. See section &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:normal;"&gt;D&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;, "Other Matters" below for additional information. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Air&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;The actions listed below could require further reductions in emissions from various emission sources. NiSource will continue to closely monitor developments in these matters.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;"&gt;Climate Change.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;  Future legislative and regulatory programs, including implementation of the EPA CPP, could significantly limit allowed GHG emissions or impose a cost or tax on GHG emissions. Additionally, rules that increase methane leak detection, require emission reductions or impose additional requirements for natural gas facilities could restrict GHG emissions and impose additional costs. The CPP and other federally enacted or proposed GHG reduction measures are subject to numerous legal challenges that could change the way the programs are implemented, and NiSource will carefully monitor all GHG reduction proposals and regulations.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;"&gt;National Ambient Air Quality Standards.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; The CAA requires the EPA to set NAAQS for six "criteria" air pollutants considered harmful to public health and the environment. Periodically, the EPA imposes new, or modifies existing, NAAQS. States containing areas that do not meet the new or revised standards, or contribute significantly to nonattainment of downwind states, may be required to take steps to achieve and maintain compliance with the standards. These steps could include additional pollution controls on boilers, engines, turbines and other facilities owned by electric generation and gas distribution operations.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Ozone:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; On October 26, 2015, the EPA issued a final rule to lower the 8-hour ozone standard from &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;75 ppb&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; to &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;70 ppb&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;. After the EPA proceeds with designations, areas where NiSource operates that are currently designated in attainment with the standards may be reclassified as nonattainment. NiSource will continue to monitor this matter and cannot estimate its impact at this time.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;"&gt;Clean Power Plan.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; On October 23, 2015, the EPA issued a final rule to regulate CO&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;sub style="vertical-align:bottom;line-height:120%;font-size:7pt"&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; emissions from existing fossil-fuel EGUs under section 111(d) of the CAA. The final rule establishes national CO&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;sub style="vertical-align:bottom;line-height:120%;font-size:7pt"&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; emission-rate standards that are applied to each state&amp;#8217;s mix of affected EGUs to establish state-specific emission-rate and mass-emission limits. The final rule requires each state to submit a plan indicating how the state will meet the EPA's emission-rate or mass-emission limit, including possibly imposing reduction obligations on specific units. If a state does not submit a satisfactory plan, the EPA will impose a federal plan on that state. On February 9, 2016, the U.S. Supreme Court stayed implementation of the CPP until litigation is decided on its merits. The cost to comply with this rule will depend on a number of factors, including the outcome of CPP litigation, the requirements of the state plan or final federal plan, and the level of NIPSCO's required CO&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;sub style="vertical-align:bottom;line-height:120%;font-size:7pt"&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; emission reductions. It is possible that this new rule, comprehensive federal or state GHG legislation or other GHG regulation could result in additional expense or compliance costs that could materially impact NiSource's financial results. NIPSCO will continue to monitor this matter and cannot estimate its impact at this time. Should costs be incurred to comply with the CPP, NIPSCO believes such costs will be eligible for recovery through customer rates.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Waste&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;"&gt;CERCLA. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;NiSource subsidiaries are potentially responsible parties at waste disposal sites under the CERCLA (commonly known as Superfund) and similar state laws. Additionally, NiSource affiliates have retained environmental liabilities, including remediation liabilities, associated with certain former operations.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;"&gt;MGP.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; A program has been instituted to identify and investigate former MGP sites where Gas Distribution Operations subsidiaries or predecessors may have liability. The program has identified  &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;64&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; such sites where liability is probable. Remedial actions at many of these sites are being overseen by state or federal environmental agencies through consent agreements or voluntary remediation agreements.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;NiSource utilizes a probabilistic model to estimate its future remediation costs related to its MGP sites. The model was prepared with the assistance of a third-party and incorporates NiSource and general industry experience with remediating MGP sites. NiSource completes an annual refresh of the model in the second quarter of each fiscal year. No material changes to the estimated future remediation costs were noted as a result of the refresh completed as of June 30, 2016. The total estimated liability at NiSource related to the facilities subject to remediation was &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$103.9 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; and &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$105.5 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; at &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;March&amp;#160;31, 2017&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; and &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;December&amp;#160;31, 2016&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;, respectively. The liability represents NiSource&amp;#8217;s best estimate of the probable cost to remediate the facilities. NiSource believes that it is reasonably possible that remediation costs could vary by as much as &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$25 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; in addition to the costs noted above. Remediation costs are estimated based on the best available information, applicable remediation standards at the balance sheet date, and experience with similar facilities.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;"&gt;CCRs. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;On April 17, 2015, the EPA issued a final rule for regulation of CCRs. The rule regulates CCRs under the RCRA Subtitle D, which determines them to be nonhazardous. The rule is implemented in phases and requires increased groundwater monitoring, reporting, record keeping and posting of related information to the Internet. The rule also establishes requirements related to CCR management and disposal. The rule will allow NIPSCO to continue its byproduct beneficial use program.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;The publication of the CCR rule resulted in revisions to previously recorded legal obligations associated with the retirement of certain NIPSCO facilities. The actual asset retirement costs related to the CCR rule may vary substantially from the estimates used to record the increased asset retirement obligation due to the uncertainty about the compliance strategies that will be used and the preliminary nature of available data used to estimate costs. In addition, to comply with the rule, NIPSCO will be required to incur future capital expenditures to modify its infrastructure and manage CCRs. Capital compliance costs are currently expected to cost approximately &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$230 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;. As allowed by the EPA, NIPSCO will continue to collect data over time to determine the specific compliance solutions and associated costs and, as a result, the actual costs may vary. NIPSCO has filed a petition with the IURC seeking approval of the projects and to recover the costs associated with CCR compliance. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Water&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;"&gt;ELG. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;On November 3, 2015, the EPA issued a final rule to amend the ELG and standards for the Steam Electric Power Generating category. The final rule became effective January 4, 2016. The rule imposes new water treatment and discharge requirements on NIPSCO's electric generating facilities to be applied between 2018 and 2023. On April 24, 2017, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals granted the EPA's motion to hold in abeyance the litigation challenging the ELG, while the EPA proceeds with review and reconsideration of the ELG. On April 25, 2017, the EPA published notice in the Federal Register that the EPA is reconsidering the ELG in response to two petitions for reconsideration and that the EPA administratively stays all future ELG compliance deadlines during its review. NIPSCO is unable to estimate the impact of the EPA stay and reconsideration at this time. Based upon a preliminary engineering study, capital compliance costs are currently expected to cost approximately &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$170 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;.  NIPSCO has filed a petition with the IURC seeking approval of the projects and to recover the costs associated with ELG compliance.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;"&gt;D&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;"&gt;.     Other Matters. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Transmission Upgrade Agreements. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;On February 11, 2014, NIPSCO entered into TUAs with upgrade sponsors to complete upgrades on NIPSCO&amp;#8217;s transmission system on behalf of those sponsors. The upgrade sponsors agreed to reimburse NIPSCO for the total cost to construct transmission upgrades and place them into service, multiplied by a rate of &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;1.71&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; ("the multiplier"). &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;On June 10, 2014, certain upgrade sponsors for both TUAs filed a complaint at the FERC against NIPSCO regarding the multiplier stated in the TUAs. On June 30, 2014, NIPSCO filed an answer defending the terms of the TUAs and the just and reasonable nature of the multiplier charged therein and moved for dismissal of the complaint. On December 8, 2014, the FERC issued an order in response to the complaint finding that it is appropriate for NIPSCO to recover, through the multiplier, substantiated costs of ownership related to the TUAs. On August 10, 2016, NIPSCO reached settlement with all remaining parties to the complaint and filed with the FERC for approval. An order from the FERC approving the settlement was received on January 31, 2017. Receipt of the FERC order did not result in a material impact to the Consolidated Financial Statements. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;At the time the TUAs were executed, it was assumed the proceeds received from the upgrade sponsors would be taxable to NIPSCO. Accordingly, the multiplier included a provision for such taxes. On June 10, 2016, the U.S. Treasury Department issued a notice regarding transfers of property to regulated utilities by electric generators, stating that transfers within the scope of the notice will not be treated as taxable. In response to this notice, NIPSCO recorded a liability of &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$8.6 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; to reflect the estimated amount owed to the upgrade sponsors for the portion of the multiplier previously collected for taxes. This activity was recorded within "Other, net" in the 2016 Statement of Consolidated Income. On April 4, 2017, the U.S. Internal Revenue Service issued a private letter ruling to NIPSCO.  The ruling provides that the deemed contribution of the intertie and all sums paid for construction meet the safe harbor requirements of Notice 2016-36 and, upon filing a change in accounting method, are excludable from gross income as a non-shareholder contribution to capital.  The receipt of the private letter ruling  will not have a material impact to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited).&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;"&gt;PHMSA Transmission.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; On March 17, 2016, PHMSA issued a proposed rule that would, if adopted, add new assessment and data requirements to existing transmission facilities that would necessitate expanded investigation and repair/replace activity on these facilities over the next 15 years. The comment period for the proposed rule closed on July 7, 2016. However, the final timing and scope of this rule remains uncertain. If adopted as proposed, this rule may require NiSource to incur significant incremental capital and operation and maintenance expenditures to achieve compliance. NiSource will continue to monitor this matter, and cannot reasonably estimate its impact at this time.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;"&gt;PHMSA EFV.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;On October 14, 2016, PHMSA issued a final rule that expands safety requirements for EFVs. Among the rule's provisions is a requirement for utilities to notify customers whose service lines are not currently equipped with an EFV of their right to request installation of an EFV. The rule took effect April 14, 2017. During 2017, NiSource's operating companies posted notifications on their websites in compliance with the rule and sought regulatory authority for their proposed cost recovery plans with their respective state regulatory commissions. The outcome of those proposed plans remains pending before the commissions. NiSource continues to evaluate the potential impacts of this regulation on its operations and cannot reasonably estimate its impact at this time.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;"&gt;NIPSCO 2016 Integrated Resource Plan.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;Environmental, regulatory and economic factors, including low natural gas prices and aging coal-fired units, have led NIPSCO to consider modifying its current electric generation supply mix to include less coal-fired generation. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;Due to enacted CCR and ELG legislation, NIPSCO would expect to incur over &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$1 billion&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; in operating, maintenance, environmental and other costs over the next seven years if the current fleet of coal-fired generating units remain operational. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;On November 1, 2016, NIPSCO submitted its 2016 Integrated Resource Plan with the IURC. The plan evaluated demand-side and supply-side resource alternatives to reliably and cost effectively meet NIPSCO customers' future energy requirements over the ensuing twenty years. The 2016 Integrated Resource Plan indicates that the most viable option for customers and NIPSCO involves the retirement of Bailly Generating Station (Units 7 and 8) as soon as mid-2018 and two units (Units 17 and 18) at the R.M. Schahfer Generating Station by the end of 2023. It is projected over the long term that the cost to customers to retire these units at these dates will be lower than maintaining and upgrading them for continuing generation. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;NiSource and NIPSCO committed to the retirement of the Bailly Generating Station units in connection with the filing of the 2016 Integrated Resource Plan, pending approval by the MISO. In the fourth quarter of 2016, the MISO approved NIPSCO's plan to retire the Bailly Generating Station units by May 31, 2018. In accordance with ASC 980-360, the remaining net book value of the Bailly Generating Station units was reclassified from "Net utility plant" to "Other property, at cost, less accumulated depreciation" on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets (unaudited).   &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;In connection with the MISO's approval of NIPSCO's planned retirement of the Bailly Generating Station units, NiSource recorded $&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;22.1 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; of plant retirement-related charges in the fourth quarter of 2016. These charges were comprised of contract termination charges related to NIPSCO's capital lease with Pure Air (discussed further below), voluntary employee severance benefits, and write downs of certain materials and supplies inventory balances. These charges are presented within "Operation and maintenance" on the Statements of Consolidated Income. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;"&gt;NIPSCO Pure Air.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; NIPSCO has a service agreement with Pure Air, a general partnership between Air Products and Chemicals, Inc. and First Air Partners LP, under which Pure Air provides scrubber services to reduce sulfur dioxide emissions for Units 7 and 8 at the Bailly Generating Station. Services under this contract commenced on July&amp;#160;1, 1992 and expired on June&amp;#160;30, 2012. The agreement was renewed effective July 1, 2012 for &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;ten&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; years requiring NIPSCO to pay for the services under a combination of fixed and variable charges. NiSource has made an exhaustive effort to obtain information needed from Pure Air to determine the status of Pure Air as a VIE. However, NIPSCO has not been able to obtain this information and, as a result, it is unclear whether Pure Air is a VIE and if NIPSCO is the primary beneficiary. NIPSCO will continue to request the information required to determine whether Pure Air is a VIE. NIPSCO has &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;no&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; exposure to loss related to the service agreement with Pure Air and payments under this agreement were $&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;5.5 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; and $&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;4.9 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; for the &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;three months ended&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;March&amp;#160;31, 2017&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; and &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;2016&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;, respectively. In accordance with GAAP, the renewed agreement was evaluated to determine whether the arrangement qualifies as a lease. Based on the terms of the agreement, the arrangement qualified for capital lease accounting. As the effective date of the new agreement was July&amp;#160;1, 2012, NiSource capitalized this lease beginning in the third quarter of 2012.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;As further discussed above in this Note &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;14&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; under the heading "NIPSCO 2016 Integrated Resource Plan," NIPSCO plans to retire the generation station units serviced by Pure Air by May 31, 2018. In December 2016, as allowed by the provisions of the service agreement, NIPSCO provided Pure Air formal notice of intent to terminate the service agreement, effective May 31, 2018. Providing this notice to Pure Air triggered a contract termination liability of &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$16 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; which was recorded in fourth quarter of 2016. This expense was included as part of the plant retirement-related charges discussed above. Payment of this liability is not due until NIPSCO ceases use of the scrubber services. The liability is presented in "Other noncurrent liabilities" on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets (unaudited). In addition, NIPSCO remeasured the remaining capital lease asset and obligation to reflect the change in estimated remaining minimum lease payments. This remeasurement was a non-cash transaction that had no impact on the Statements of Consolidated Income. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;"&gt;Technology Services. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;On December 31, 2013, NiSource Corporate Services Company signed a seven-year agreement with IBM to continue to provide business process and support functions to NiSource under a combination of fixed and variable charges, with the variable charges fluctuating based on the actual need for such services. The agreement was effective January 1, 2014 with a commencement date of April 1, 2014.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;In April 2017, NiSource initiated a process to terminate its agreement with IBM and is negotiating contracts with IT service providers other than IBM. Upon a termination of the agreement with IBM by NiSource for any reason (other than material breach by IBM), NiSource may be required to pay IBM a termination charge that could include a breakage fee, repayment of IBM&amp;#8217;s capital investments not yet recovered and IBM&amp;#8217;s wind-down expense, which, if payable, could be material.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</us-gaap:CommitmentsAndContingenciesDisclosureTextBlock>

NiSource purchases natural gas for sale and delivery to its retail, commercial and industrial customers, and for most customers the variability in the market price of gas is passed through in their rates. Some of NiSource&amp;#8217;s utility subsidiaries offer programs where variability in the market price of gas is assumed by the respective utility. The objective of NiSource&amp;#8217;s commodity price risk programs is to mitigate the gas cost variability, for NiSource or on behalf of its customers, associated with natural gas purchases or sales by economically hedging the various gas cost components using a combination of futures, options, forwards or other derivative contracts.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;NIPSCO received IURC approval to lock in a fixed price for its natural gas customers using long-term forward purchase instruments. The term of these instruments may range from five to ten years and is limited to ten percent of NIPSCO&amp;#8217;s average annual GCA purchase volume. Gains and losses on these derivative contracts will be deferred as regulatory liabilities or assets and will be remitted to or collected from customers through NIPSCO&amp;#8217;s quarterly GCA mechanism. These instruments are not designated as accounting hedges.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Interest Rate Risk Management&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;As of &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;March&amp;#160;31, 2017&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;, NiSource Finance has forward-starting interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional value totaling&amp;#160;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$1.5 billion&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; to hedge the variability in cash flows attributable to changes in the benchmark interest rate during the periods from the effective dates of the swaps to the anticipated dates of forecasted debt issuances, which are expected to take place by the end of 2018. These interest rate swaps are designated as cash flow hedges. The effective portions of the gains and losses related to these swaps are recorded to AOCI and are recognized in earnings concurrent with the recognition of interest expense on the associated debt, once issued. If it becomes probable that a hedged forecasted transaction will no longer occur, the accumulated gains or losses on the derivative will be recognized currently in earnings. Earnings may also be impacted if the anticipated dates of forecasted debt issuances differ from the dates of the interest rate swaps.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;Realized gains and losses from NiSource&amp;#8217;s interest rate cash flow hedges are presented in &amp;#8220;Interest expense, net&amp;#8221; on the Condensed Statements of Consolidated Income (unaudited).

Additionally, NiSource participates in an informal forum of industry peers where questions can be asked and interpretations of the new standard can be shared. Recently, involvement in this group has resulted in additional clarity on industry-specific issues such as treatment of CIAC, scoping of tariff arrangements and presentation of alternative revenue programs. This clarity will help to further NiSource's adoption efforts. NiSource has separated its various revenue streams into high-level categories, which serve as the basis for accounting analysis and documentation as it relates to the pronouncement's impact on NiSource's revenues. Substantially all of NiSource&amp;#8217;s revenues are tariff based, which NiSource concluded will be in scope of ASC 606. NiSource has also undertaken efforts to outline mock footnote disclosures intended to satisfy ASC 606's disclosure requirements. NiSource expects to adopt this ASU effective January 1, 2018.

The core principle of the new standard is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="vertical-align:top;border-bottom:1px solid #000000;background-color:#cceeff;padding-left:2px;padding-top:2px;padding-bottom:2px;padding-right:2px;" rowspan="1" colspan="1"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;ASU 2016-02, &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Leases (Topic 842)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style="vertical-align:top;border-bottom:1px solid #000000;background-color:#cceeff;padding-left:2px;padding-top:2px;padding-bottom:2px;padding-right:2px;" rowspan="1" colspan="1"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;The pronouncement introduces a lessee model that brings most leases on the balance sheet. The standard requires that lessees recognize the following for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases, as that term is defined in the standard) at the lease commencement date: (1) a lease liability, which is a lessee&amp;#8217;s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and (2) a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee&amp;#8217;s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style="vertical-align:top;border-bottom:1px solid #000000;background-color:#cceeff;padding-left:2px;padding-top:2px;padding-bottom:2px;padding-right:2px;" rowspan="1" colspan="1"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;Annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods therein.

This includes compiling a list of all contracts that could meet the definition of a lease under the new standard and evaluating the accounting for these contracts under the new standard to determine the ultimate impact the new standard will have on NiSource&amp;#8217;s financial statements. Also this procedure has identified process improvements to ensure data from newly initiated leases is captured to comply with the new standard. This work included the assistance of a third-party advisory firm. As of March 31, 2017, no conclusion has been reached as to when NiSource will adopt this standard.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</us-gaap:DescriptionOfNewAccountingPronouncementsNotYetAdopted>

management assets and liabilities include interest rate swaps, exchange-traded NYMEX futures and NYMEX options and non-exchange-based forward purchase contracts. Exchange-traded derivative contracts are based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets and are classified within Level 1. These financial assets and liabilities are secured with cash on deposit with the exchange; therefore, nonperformance risk has not been incorporated into these valuations. Certain non-exchange-traded derivatives are valued using broker or over-the-counter, on-line exchanges. In such cases, these non-exchange-traded derivatives are classified within Level 2. Non-exchange-based derivative instruments include swaps, forwards and options. In certain instances, these instruments may utilize models to measure fair value. NiSource uses a similar model to value similar instruments. Valuation models utilize various inputs that include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, other observable inputs for the asset or liability and market-corroborated inputs, (i.e., inputs derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means). Where observable inputs are available for substantially the full term of the asset or liability, the instrument is categorized within Level 2. Certain derivatives trade in less active markets with a lower availability of pricing information and models may be utilized in the valuation. When such inputs have a significant impact on the measurement of fair value, the instrument is categorized within Level 3. Credit risk is considered in the fair value calculation of derivative instruments that are not exchange-traded. Credit exposures are adjusted to reflect collateral agreements which reduce exposures. As of &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;text-decoration:none;"&gt;March&amp;#160;31, 2017&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; and December 31, &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;text-decoration:none;"&gt;2016&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;, there were &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;no&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; material transfers between fair value hierarchies. Additionally, there were no changes in the method or significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of NiSource&amp;#8217;s financial instruments.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;NiSource Finance has entered into forward-starting interest rate swaps to hedge the interest rate risk on coupon payments of forecasted issuances of long-term debt. These swaps are designated as cash flow hedges. Credit risk is considered in the fair value calculation of each interest rate swap. As they are based on observable data and valuations of similar instruments, the interest rate swaps are categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. There was no exchange of premium at the initial date of the swaps, and NiSource can settle the swaps at any time.

NiSource values U.S. Treasury, corporate debt and mortgage-backed securities using a matrix pricing model that incorporates market-based information. These securities trade less frequently and are classified within Level 2.

Additionally, NiSource participates in an informal forum of industry peers where questions can be asked and interpretations of the new standard can be shared. Recently, involvement in this group has resulted in additional clarity on industry-specific issues such as treatment of CIAC, scoping of tariff arrangements and presentation of alternative revenue programs. This clarity will help to further NiSource's adoption efforts. NiSource has separated its various revenue streams into high-level categories, which serve as the basis for accounting analysis and documentation as it relates to the pronouncement's impact on NiSource's revenues. Substantially all of NiSource&amp;#8217;s revenues are tariff based, which NiSource concluded will be in scope of ASC 606. NiSource has also undertaken efforts to outline mock footnote disclosures intended to satisfy ASC 606's disclosure requirements. NiSource expects to adopt this ASU effective January 1, 2018. As of March 31, 2017, NiSource has not concluded on a method of adoption.&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="vertical-align:top;background-color:#cceeff;padding-left:2px;padding-top:2px;padding-bottom:2px;padding-right:2px;border-top:1px solid #000000;" rowspan="1" colspan="1"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;ASU 2016-08, &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style="vertical-align:top;background-color:#cceeff;padding-left:2px;padding-top:2px;padding-bottom:2px;padding-right:2px;border-top:1px solid #000000;" rowspan="1" colspan="1"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;The pronouncement clarifies the principal versus agent guidance in ASU 2014-09.

The core principle of the new standard is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="vertical-align:top;border-bottom:1px solid #000000;background-color:#cceeff;padding-left:2px;padding-top:2px;padding-bottom:2px;padding-right:2px;" rowspan="1" colspan="1"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;ASU 2016-02, &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Leases (Topic 842)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style="vertical-align:top;border-bottom:1px solid #000000;background-color:#cceeff;padding-left:2px;padding-top:2px;padding-bottom:2px;padding-right:2px;" rowspan="1" colspan="1"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;The pronouncement introduces a lessee model that brings most leases on the balance sheet. The standard requires that lessees recognize the following for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases, as that term is defined in the standard) at the lease commencement date: (1) a lease liability, which is a lessee&amp;#8217;s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and (2) a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee&amp;#8217;s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style="vertical-align:top;border-bottom:1px solid #000000;background-color:#cceeff;padding-left:2px;padding-top:2px;padding-bottom:2px;padding-right:2px;" rowspan="1" colspan="1"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;Annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods therein.

This includes compiling a list of all contracts that could meet the definition of a lease under the new standard and evaluating the accounting for these contracts under the new standard to determine the ultimate impact the new standard will have on NiSource&amp;#8217;s financial statements. Also this procedure has identified process improvements to ensure data from newly initiated leases is captured to comply with the new standard.

Upon adoption, NiSource elected to begin accounting for forfeitures of share-based awards as they occur. The impact of this change was not material. Additionally, NiSource recorded a $25.3 million credit to beginning retained deficit. This adjustment represents excess tax benefits generated in years prior to 2016 that were previously not recognized in stockholders' equity due to NOLs in those years. Both of these adjustments were adopted on a modified retrospective basis. Lastly, NiSource recorded income tax benefits of $7.2 million related to excess tax benefits generated in 2016. This provision was adopted on a prospective basis. However, because NiSource adopted the standard during an interim period, the standard required this $7.2 million benefit be reflected as though it was adopted as of January 1, 2016. Quarter-to-date March 31, 2016 and June 30, 2016 earnings per share from continuing operations increased by $0.02 and $0.00, respectively, as a result of the adoption. For additional information, see Note 2, "Recent Accounting Pronouncements" in NiSource's 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2016. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</us-gaap:NewAccountingPronouncementsAndChangesInAccountingPrinciplesTextBlock>

Benefits under the defined benefit retirement plans reflect the employees&amp;#8217; compensation, years of service and age at retirement. Additionally, NiSource provides health care and life insurance benefits for certain retired employees. The majority of employees may become eligible for these benefits if they reach retirement age while working for NiSource. The expected cost of such benefits is accrued during the employees&amp;#8217; years of service. For most plans, cash contributions are remitted to grantor trusts.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font

Comparability of Gas Distribution Operations line item operating results is impacted by regulatory trackers that allow for the recovery in rates of certain costs such as those described below. Increases in the expenses that are the subject of trackers result in a corresponding increase in net revenues and therefore have essentially no impact on total operating income results.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;Certain operating costs of the NiSource distribution companies are significant, recurring in nature, and generally outside the control of the distribution companies. Some states allow the recovery of such costs through cost tracking mechanisms. Such tracking mechanisms allow for abbreviated regulatory proceedings in order for the distribution companies to implement charges and recover appropriate costs. Tracking mechanisms allow for more timely recovery of such costs as compared with more traditional cost recovery mechanisms. Examples of such mechanisms include GCR adjustment mechanisms, tax riders, and bad debt recovery mechanisms.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;A portion of the distribution companies' revenue is related to the recovery of gas costs, the review and recovery of which occurs through standard regulatory proceedings. All states in NiSource's operating area require periodic review of actual gas procurement activity to determine prudence and to permit the recovery of prudently incurred costs related to the supply of gas for customers. NiSource distribution companies have historically been found prudent in the procurement of gas supplies to serve customers.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;Certain of the NiSource distribution companies have completed rate proceedings involving infrastructure replacement or are embarking upon regulatory initiatives to replace significant portions of their operating systems that are nearing the end of their useful lives. Each LDC's approach to cost recovery may be unique, given the different laws, regulations and precedent that exist in each jurisdiction.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;"&gt;Columbia of Ohio.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;"&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;On November 28, 2012, the PUCO approved Columbia of Ohio&amp;#8217;s application to extend its IRP for an additional five years (2013-2017), allowing Columbia of Ohio to continue to invest and recover on its accelerated main replacements. Columbia of Ohio filed its application to adjust rates associated with its IRP and DSM Riders on February 27, 2017, which requested authority to increase revenues by approximately &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$31.5 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;. On March 23, 2017, the PUCO Staff filed comments which recommended approval of the application with only minor revisions. The PUCO issued an order on April 26, 2017, approving Columbia of Ohio's application. New rates went into effect on May 1, 2017.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;On December 27, 2016, Columbia of Ohio filed its Notice of Intent to file an application that will request authority for Columbia of Ohio to extend its IRP for an additional five years (2018-2022). Columbia of Ohio&amp;#8217;s application was filed on February 27, 2017. An order is expected by the end of 2017.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;"&gt;NIPSCO Gas.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;"&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;On April 30, 2013, then Indiana Governor Pence signed Senate Enrolled Act 560, the TDSIC statute, into law.  Among other provisions, this legislation provides for cost recovery outside of a base rate proceeding for new or replacement electric and gas transmission, distribution, and storage projects that a public utility undertakes for the purposes of safety, reliability, system modernization, or economic development. Provisions of the TDSIC statute require that, among other things, requests for recovery include a seven-year plan of eligible investments. Once the plan is approved by the IURC, eighty percent of eligible costs can be recovered using a periodic rate adjustment mechanism. The cost recovery mechanism is referred to as a TDSIC mechanism.  Recoverable costs include a return on, and of, the investment, including AFUDC, post-in-service carrying charges, operation and maintenance expenses, depreciation and property taxes. The remaining twenty percent of recoverable costs are to be deferred for future recovery in the public utility&amp;#8217;s next general rate case. The periodic rate adjustment mechanism is capped at an annual increase of no more than two percent of total retail revenues. On December 28, 2016, the IURC issued an order on the seven-year plan (2014-2020) within TDSIC-5 approving NIPSCO&amp;#8217;s updated estimate of TDSIC-eligible investments of &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$824 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;.  The order also included approval to begin recovery of &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$211.6 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; of cumulative net capital spend through June 30, 2016.  New rates went into effect on January 1, 2017. On February 28, 2017, NIPSCO filed TDSIC-6 requesting approval of &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$271.3 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; of cumulative net capital spend through December 31, 2016.  An order is expected in June 2017, with new rates effective July 1, 2017.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;"&gt;Columbia of Massachusetts.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#ff0000;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;"&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;On July 7, 2014, the Governor of Massachusetts signed into law Chapter 149 of the Acts of 2014, An Act Relative to Natural Gas Leaks (&amp;#8220;the Act&amp;#8221;).  The Act authorizes natural gas distribution companies to file gas infrastructure replacement plans with the Massachusetts DPU to address the replacement of aging natural gas pipeline infrastructure. In addition, the Act provides that the Massachusetts DPU may, after review of the plans, allow the proposed estimated costs of the plan into rates as of May 1 of the subsequent year.  On October 31, 2016, Columbia of Massachusetts filed its GSEP for the 2017 construction year. Columbia of Massachusetts is proposing to recover an incremental &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$8.4 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; for a cumulative revenue requirement of &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$17.2 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;. An order was received from the Massachusetts DPU on April 28, 2017, and rates went into effect on May 1, 2017.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;"&gt;Columbia of Virginia.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; On April 29, 2016, Columbia of Virginia filed a request with the VSCC, seeking an annual revenue increase of&amp;#160;$&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;37.0 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;. The case was driven by Columbia of Virginia's ongoing capital program to modernize its infrastructure and to expand and upgrade its facilities to meet customer growth, as well as expenditures related to employee training and compliance with pipeline safety regulations. On September 28, 2016, Columbia of Virginia implemented updated interim base rates subject to refund. On January 17, 2017, Columbia of Virginia presented a stipulation and proposed recommendation, representing a settlement by all parties to the proceeding that included a base revenue increase of $&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;28.5 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;. On February 8, 2017, the hearing examiner in the case filed a report recommending approval of the stipulation and proposed recommendation. On March 17, 2017, by final order, the VSCC approved the settlement agreement without modification. Under terms of the final order, Columbia of Virginia will refund within 90 days the difference between the interim customer rates implemented in 2016 and the rates approved by the final order.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;"&gt;Columbia of Maryland.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;"&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;On April 14, 2017, Columbia of Maryland filed a request with the MPSC to adjust its base rates so it can continue to expedite the replacement of aging pipe as well as adopt pipeline safety upgrades. If approved as filed, the rate adjustment would result in an annual revenue increase of approximately $&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;6 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;. An order is expected by the end of 2017.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Electric Operations Regulatory Matters&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;"&gt;Cost Recovery and Trackers&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;.

The IURC allows for recovery of such costs through cost tracking mechanisms. Such tracking mechanisms allow for abbreviated regulatory proceedings in order for NIPSCO to implement charges and recover appropriate costs. Tracking mechanisms allow for more timely recovery of such costs as compared with more traditional cost recovery mechanisms.

These costs are recovered through a FAC, a quarterly regulatory proceeding in Indiana.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;NIPSCO has approval from the IURC to recover certain environmental related costs through an ECT. Under the ECT, NIPSCO is permitted to recover (1)&amp;#160;AFUDC and a return on the capital investment expended by NIPSCO to implement environmental compliance plan projects and (2)&amp;#160;related operation and maintenance and depreciation expenses once the environmental facilities become operational. On January 31, 2017, NIPSCO filed ECR-29 which included &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$261.1 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; of net capital expenditures for the period ended December 31, 2016.

Upon adoption, NiSource elected to begin accounting for forfeitures of share-based awards as they occur. The impact of this change was not material. Additionally, NiSource recorded a $25.3 million credit to beginning retained deficit. This adjustment represents excess tax benefits generated in years prior to 2016 that were previously not recognized in stockholders' equity due to NOLs in those years. Both of these adjustments were adopted on a modified retrospective basis. Lastly, NiSource recorded income tax benefits of $7.2 million related to excess tax benefits generated in 2016. This provision was adopted on a prospective basis. However, because NiSource adopted the standard during an interim period, the standard required this $7.2 million benefit be reflected as though it was adopted as of January 1, 2016. Quarter-to-date March 31, 2016 and June 30, 2016 earnings per share from continuing operations increased by $0.02 and $0.00, respectively, as a result of the adoption. For additional information, see Note 2, "Recent Accounting Pronouncements" in NiSource's 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2016. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</us-gaap:ScheduleOfProspectiveAdoptionOfNewAccountingPronouncementsTableTextBlock>

Based on available evidence, the future revenue will be provided to permit recovery of the previously incurred cost rather than to provide for expected levels of similar future costs.

Additionally, NiSource participates in an informal forum of industry peers where questions can be asked and interpretations of the new standard can be shared. Recently, involvement in this group has resulted in additional clarity on industry-specific issues such as treatment of CIAC, scoping of tariff arrangements and presentation of alternative revenue programs. This clarity will help to further NiSource's adoption efforts. NiSource has separated its various revenue streams into high-level categories, which serve as the basis for accounting analysis and documentation as it relates to the pronouncement's impact on NiSource's revenues. Substantially all of NiSource&#8217;s revenues are tariff based, which NiSource concluded will be in scope of ASC 606. NiSource has also undertaken efforts to outline mock footnote disclosures intended to satisfy ASC 606's disclosure requirements. NiSource expects to adopt this ASU effective January 1, 2018. As of March 31, 2017, NiSource has not concluded on a method of adoption.<br clear="none"/></font></div></td></tr><tr><td style="vertical-align:top;background-color:#cceeff;padding-left:2px;padding-top:2px;padding-bottom:2px;padding-right:2px;border-top:1px solid #000000;" rowspan="1" colspan="1"><div style="text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">ASU 2016-08, </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations</font></div></td><td style="vertical-align:top;background-color:#cceeff;padding-left:2px;padding-top:2px;padding-bottom:2px;padding-right:2px;border-top:1px solid #000000;" rowspan="1" colspan="1"><div style="text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">The pronouncement clarifies the principal versus agent guidance in ASU 2014-09.

Also this procedure has identified process improvements to ensure data from newly initiated leases is captured to comply with the new standard. This work included the assistance of a third-party advisory firm.

Upon adoption, NiSource elected to begin accounting for forfeitures of share-based awards as they occur. The impact of this change was not material. Additionally, NiSource recorded a $25.3 million credit to beginning retained deficit. This adjustment represents excess tax benefits generated in years prior to 2016 that were previously not recognized in stockholders' equity due to NOLs in those years. Both of these adjustments were adopted on a modified retrospective basis. Lastly, NiSource recorded income tax benefits of $7.2 million related to excess tax benefits generated in 2016. This provision was adopted on a prospective basis. However, because NiSource adopted the standard during an interim period, the standard required this $7.2 million benefit be reflected as though it was adopted as of January 1, 2016. Quarter-to-date March 31, 2016 and June 30, 2016 earnings per share from continuing operations increased by $0.02 and $0.00, respectively, as a result of the adoption.

Comparability of Gas Distribution Operations line item operating results is impacted by regulatory trackers that allow for the recovery in rates of certain costs such as those described below. Increases in the expenses that are the subject of trackers result in a corresponding increase in net revenues and therefore have essentially no impact on total operating income results.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Certain operating costs of the NiSource distribution companies are significant, recurring in nature, and generally outside the control of the distribution companies. Some states allow the recovery of such costs through cost tracking mechanisms. Such tracking mechanisms allow for abbreviated regulatory proceedings in order for the distribution companies to implement charges and recover appropriate costs. Tracking mechanisms allow for more timely recovery of such costs as compared with more traditional cost recovery mechanisms. Examples of such mechanisms include GCR adjustment mechanisms, tax riders, and bad debt recovery mechanisms.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">A portion of the distribution companies' revenue is related to the recovery of gas costs, the review and recovery of which occurs through standard regulatory proceedings. All states in NiSource's operating area require periodic review of actual gas procurement activity to determine prudence and to permit the recovery of prudently incurred costs related to the supply of gas for customers. NiSource distribution companies have historically been found prudent in the procurement of gas supplies to serve customers.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Certain of the NiSource distribution companies have completed rate proceedings involving infrastructure replacement or are embarking upon regulatory initiatives to replace significant portions of their operating systems that are nearing the end of their useful lives. Each LDC's approach to cost recovery may be unique, given the different laws, regulations and precedent that exist in each jurisdiction.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">Columbia of Ohio.</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;"> </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">On November 28, 2012, the PUCO approved Columbia of Ohio&#8217;s application to extend its IRP for an additional five years (2013-2017), allowing Columbia of Ohio to continue to invest and recover on its accelerated main replacements. Columbia of Ohio filed its application to adjust rates associated with its IRP and DSM Riders on February 27, 2017, which requested authority to increase revenues by approximately </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$31.5 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">. On March 23, 2017, the PUCO Staff filed comments which recommended approval of the application with only minor revisions. The PUCO issued an order on April 26, 2017, approving Columbia of Ohio's application. New rates went into effect on May 1, 2017.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">On December 27, 2016, Columbia of Ohio filed its Notice of Intent to file an application that will request authority for Columbia of Ohio to extend its IRP for an additional five years (2018-2022). Columbia of Ohio&#8217;s application was filed on February 27, 2017. An order is expected by the end of 2017.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">NIPSCO Gas.</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;"> </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">On April 30, 2013, then Indiana Governor Pence signed Senate Enrolled Act 560, the TDSIC statute, into law.  Among other provisions, this legislation provides for cost recovery outside of a base rate proceeding for new or replacement electric and gas transmission, distribution, and storage projects that a public utility undertakes for the purposes of safety, reliability, system modernization, or economic development. Provisions of the TDSIC statute require that, among other things, requests for recovery include a seven-year plan of eligible investments. Once the plan is approved by the IURC, eighty percent of eligible costs can be recovered using a periodic rate adjustment mechanism. The cost recovery mechanism is referred to as a TDSIC mechanism.  Recoverable costs include a return on, and of, the investment, including AFUDC, post-in-service carrying charges, operation and maintenance expenses, depreciation and property taxes. The remaining twenty percent of recoverable costs are to be deferred for future recovery in the public utility&#8217;s next general rate case. The periodic rate adjustment mechanism is capped at an annual increase of no more than two percent of total retail revenues. On December 28, 2016, the IURC issued an order on the seven-year plan (2014-2020) within TDSIC-5 approving NIPSCO&#8217;s updated estimate of TDSIC-eligible investments of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$824 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">.  The order also included approval to begin recovery of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$211.6 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> of cumulative net capital spend through June 30, 2016.  New rates went into effect on January 1, 2017. On February 28, 2017, NIPSCO filed TDSIC-6 requesting approval of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$271.3 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> of cumulative net capital spend through December 31, 2016.

The Act authorizes natural gas distribution companies to file gas infrastructure replacement plans with the Massachusetts DPU to address the replacement of aging natural gas pipeline infrastructure. In addition, the Act provides that the Massachusetts DPU may, after review of the plans, allow the proposed estimated costs of the plan into rates as of May 1 of the subsequent year.  On October 31, 2016, Columbia of Massachusetts filed its GSEP for the 2017 construction year. Columbia of Massachusetts is proposing to recover an incremental </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$8.4 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> for a cumulative revenue requirement of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$17.2 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">. An order was received from the Massachusetts DPU on April 28, 2017, and rates went into effect on May 1, 2017.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">Columbia of Virginia.</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> On April 29, 2016, Columbia of Virginia filed a request with the VSCC, seeking an annual revenue increase of&#160;$</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">37.0 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">. The case was driven by Columbia of Virginia's ongoing capital program to modernize its infrastructure and to expand and upgrade its facilities to meet customer growth, as well as expenditures related to employee training and compliance with pipeline safety regulations. On September 28, 2016, Columbia of Virginia implemented updated interim base rates subject to refund. On January 17, 2017, Columbia of Virginia presented a stipulation and proposed recommendation, representing a settlement by all parties to the proceeding that included a base revenue increase of $</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">28.5 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">. On February 8, 2017, the hearing examiner in the case filed a report recommending approval of the stipulation and proposed recommendation. On March 17, 2017, by final order, the VSCC approved the settlement agreement without modification. Under terms of the final order, Columbia of Virginia will refund within 90 days the difference between the interim customer rates implemented in 2016 and the rates approved by the final order.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">Columbia of Maryland.</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;"> </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">On April 14, 2017, Columbia of Maryland filed a request with the MPSC to adjust its base rates so it can continue to expedite the replacement of aging pipe as well as adopt pipeline safety upgrades. If approved as filed, the rate adjustment would result in an annual revenue increase of approximately $</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">6 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">.

variability in cash flows associated with natural gas purchases and volatility in natural gas prices. NiSource purchases natural gas for sale and delivery to its retail, commercial and industrial customers, and for most customers the variability in the market price of gas is passed through in their rates. Some of NiSource&#8217;s utility subsidiaries offer programs where variability in the market price of gas is assumed by the respective utility. The objective of NiSource&#8217;s commodity price risk programs is to mitigate the gas cost variability, for NiSource or on behalf of its customers, associated with natural gas purchases or sales by economically hedging the various gas cost components using a combination of futures, options, forwards or other derivative contracts.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">NIPSCO received IURC approval to lock in a fixed price for its natural gas customers using long-term forward purchase instruments. The term of these instruments may range from five to ten years and is limited to ten percent of NIPSCO&#8217;s average annual GCA purchase volume. Gains and losses on these derivative contracts will be deferred as regulatory liabilities or assets and will be remitted to or collected from customers through NIPSCO&#8217;s quarterly GCA mechanism. These instruments are not designated as accounting hedges.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;text-decoration:underline;">Interest Rate Risk Management</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">As of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">March&#160;31, 2017</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, NiSource Finance has forward-starting interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional value totaling&#160;</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$1.5 billion</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> to hedge the variability in cash flows attributable to changes in the benchmark interest rate during the periods from the effective dates of the swaps to the anticipated dates of forecasted debt issuances, which are expected to take place by the end of 2018. These interest rate swaps are designated as cash flow hedges. The effective portions of the gains and losses related to these swaps are recorded to AOCI and are recognized in earnings concurrent with the recognition of interest expense on the associated debt, once issued. If it becomes probable that a hedged forecasted transaction will no longer occur, the accumulated gains or losses on the derivative will be recognized currently in earnings. Earnings may also be impacted if the anticipated dates of forecasted debt issuances differ from the dates of the interest rate swaps.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Realized gains and losses from NiSource&#8217;s interest rate cash flow hedges are presented in &#8220;Interest expense, net&#8221; on the Condensed Statements of Consolidated Income (unaudited).

include interest rate swaps, exchange-traded NYMEX futures and NYMEX options and non-exchange-based forward purchase contracts. Exchange-traded derivative contracts are based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets and are classified within Level 1. These financial assets and liabilities are secured with cash on deposit with the exchange; therefore, nonperformance risk has not been incorporated into these valuations. Certain non-exchange-traded derivatives are valued using broker or over-the-counter, on-line exchanges. In such cases, these non-exchange-traded derivatives are classified within Level 2. Non-exchange-based derivative instruments include swaps, forwards and options. In certain instances, these instruments may utilize models to measure fair value. NiSource uses a similar model to value similar instruments. Valuation models utilize various inputs that include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, other observable inputs for the asset or liability and market-corroborated inputs, (i.e., inputs derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means). Where observable inputs are available for substantially the full term of the asset or liability, the instrument is categorized within Level 2. Certain derivatives trade in less active markets with a lower availability of pricing information and models may be utilized in the valuation. When such inputs have a significant impact on the measurement of fair value, the instrument is categorized within Level 3. Credit risk is considered in the fair value calculation of derivative instruments that are not exchange-traded. Credit exposures are adjusted to reflect collateral agreements which reduce exposures.

Additionally, there were no changes in the method or significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of NiSource&#8217;s financial instruments.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">NiSource Finance has entered into forward-starting interest rate swaps to hedge the interest rate risk on coupon payments of forecasted issuances of long-term debt. These swaps are designated as cash flow hedges. Credit risk is considered in the fair value calculation of each interest rate swap. As they are based on observable data and valuations of similar instruments, the interest rate swaps are categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. There was no exchange of premium at the initial date of the swaps, and NiSource can settle the swaps at any time.

NiSource values U.S. Treasury, corporate debt and mortgage-backed securities using a matrix pricing model that incorporates market-based information.

<td class="text"><div style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;"><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">Other Commitments and Contingencies</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">A.     Guarantees and Indemnities.</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">   As a part of normal business, NiSource and certain subsidiaries enter into various agreements providing financial or performance assurance to third parties on behalf of certain subsidiaries. Such agreements include guarantees and stand-by letters of credit. These agreements are entered into primarily to support or enhance the creditworthiness otherwise attributed to a subsidiary on a stand-alone basis, thereby facilitating the extension of sufficient credit to accomplish the subsidiaries&#8217; intended commercial purposes. At </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">March&#160;31, 2017</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, NiSource had issued stand-by letters of credit of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$14.7 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> for the benefit of third parties. </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:9pt;">&#160;</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:8pt;">&#160;</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">B.     Legal Proceedings.</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> The Company is party to certain claims and legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, none of which is deemed to be individually material at this time. Due to the inherent uncertainty of litigation, there can be no assurance that the resolution of any particular claim or proceeding would not have a material adverse effect on the Company&#8217;s results of operations, financial position or liquidity. If one or more of such matters were decided against the Company, the effects could be material to the Company&#8217;s results of operations in the period in which the Company would be required to record or adjust the related liability and could also be material to the Company&#8217;s cash flows in the periods the Company would be required to pay such liability.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">C.     Environmental Matters.   </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">NiSource operations are subject to environmental statutes and regulations related to air quality, water quality, hazardous waste and solid waste. NiSource believes that it is in substantial compliance with the environmental regulations currently applicable to its operations.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">It is management's continued intent to address environmental issues in cooperation with regulatory authorities in such a manner as to achieve mutually acceptable compliance plans. However, there can be no assurance that fines and penalties will not be incurred. Management expects a significant portion of environmental assessment and remediation costs to be recoverable through rates for certain NiSource companies.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">As of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">March&#160;31, 2017</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> and </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">December&#160;31, 2016</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, NiSource had recorded a liability of approximately </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$109.3 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> and </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$111.4 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, respectively, to cover environmental remediation at various sites. The current portion of this liability is included in "Legal and environmental" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets (unaudited). The noncurrent portion is included in "Other noncurrent liabilities" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets (unaudited). NiSource recognizes costs associated with environmental remediation obligations when the incurrence of such costs is probable and the amounts can be reasonably estimated. The original estimates for remediation activities may differ materially from the amount ultimately expended. The actual future expenditures depend on many factors, including currently enacted laws and regulations, the nature and extent of impact, the method of remediation and the availability of cost recovery. These expenditures are not currently estimable at some sites. NiSource periodically adjusts its liability as information is collected and estimates become more refined.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Electric Operations' compliance estimates disclosed below are reflective of NIPSCO's Integrated Resource Plan submitted to the IURC on November 1, 2016. See section </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:normal;">D</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, "Other Matters" below for additional information. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;text-decoration:underline;">Air</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">The actions listed below could require further reductions in emissions from various emission sources. NiSource will continue to closely monitor developments in these matters.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">Climate Change.</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">  Future legislative and regulatory programs, including implementation of the EPA CPP, could significantly limit allowed GHG emissions or impose a cost or tax on GHG emissions. Additionally, rules that increase methane leak detection, require emission reductions or impose additional requirements for natural gas facilities could restrict GHG emissions and impose additional costs. The CPP and other federally enacted or proposed GHG reduction measures are subject to numerous legal challenges that could change the way the programs are implemented, and NiSource will carefully monitor all GHG reduction proposals and regulations.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">National Ambient Air Quality Standards.</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> The CAA requires the EPA to set NAAQS for six "criteria" air pollutants considered harmful to public health and the environment. Periodically, the EPA imposes new, or modifies existing, NAAQS. States containing areas that do not meet the new or revised standards, or contribute significantly to nonattainment of downwind states, may be required to take steps to achieve and maintain compliance with the standards. These steps could include additional pollution controls on boilers, engines, turbines and other facilities owned by electric generation and gas distribution operations.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Ozone:</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> On October 26, 2015, the EPA issued a final rule to lower the 8-hour ozone standard from </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">75 ppb</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> to </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">70 ppb</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">. After the EPA proceeds with designations, areas where NiSource operates that are currently designated in attainment with the standards may be reclassified as nonattainment. NiSource will continue to monitor this matter and cannot estimate its impact at this time.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Clean Power Plan.</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> On October 23, 2015, the EPA issued a final rule to regulate CO</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><sub style="vertical-align:bottom;line-height:120%;font-size:7pt">2</sub></font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> emissions from existing fossil-fuel EGUs under section 111(d) of the CAA. The final rule establishes national CO</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><sub style="vertical-align:bottom;line-height:120%;font-size:7pt">2</sub></font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> emission-rate standards that are applied to each state&#8217;s mix of affected EGUs to establish state-specific emission-rate and mass-emission limits. The final rule requires each state to submit a plan indicating how the state will meet the EPA's emission-rate or mass-emission limit, including possibly imposing reduction obligations on specific units. If a state does not submit a satisfactory plan, the EPA will impose a federal plan on that state. On February 9, 2016, the U.S. Supreme Court stayed implementation of the CPP until litigation is decided on its merits. The cost to comply with this rule will depend on a number of factors, including the outcome of CPP litigation, the requirements of the state plan or final federal plan, and the level of NIPSCO's required CO</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><sub style="vertical-align:bottom;line-height:120%;font-size:7pt">2</sub></font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> emission reductions. It is possible that this new rule, comprehensive federal or state GHG legislation or other GHG regulation could result in additional expense or compliance costs that could materially impact NiSource's financial results. NIPSCO will continue to monitor this matter and cannot estimate its impact at this time. Should costs be incurred to comply with the CPP, NIPSCO believes such costs will be eligible for recovery through customer rates.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;text-decoration:underline;">Waste</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">CERCLA. </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">NiSource subsidiaries are potentially responsible parties at waste disposal sites under the CERCLA (commonly known as Superfund) and similar state laws. Additionally, NiSource affiliates have retained environmental liabilities, including remediation liabilities, associated with certain former operations.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">MGP.</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> A program has been instituted to identify and investigate former MGP sites where Gas Distribution Operations subsidiaries or predecessors may have liability. The program has identified  </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">64</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> such sites where liability is probable. Remedial actions at many of these sites are being overseen by state or federal environmental agencies through consent agreements or voluntary remediation agreements.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">NiSource utilizes a probabilistic model to estimate its future remediation costs related to its MGP sites. The model was prepared with the assistance of a third-party and incorporates NiSource and general industry experience with remediating MGP sites. NiSource completes an annual refresh of the model in the second quarter of each fiscal year. No material changes to the estimated future remediation costs were noted as a result of the refresh completed as of June 30, 2016. The total estimated liability at NiSource related to the facilities subject to remediation was </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$103.9 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> and </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$105.5 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> at </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">March&#160;31, 2017</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> and </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">December&#160;31, 2016</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, respectively. The liability represents NiSource&#8217;s best estimate of the probable cost to remediate the facilities. NiSource believes that it is reasonably possible that remediation costs could vary by as much as </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$25 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> in addition to the costs noted above. Remediation costs are estimated based on the best available information, applicable remediation standards at the balance sheet date, and experience with similar facilities.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">CCRs. </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">On April 17, 2015, the EPA issued a final rule for regulation of CCRs. The rule regulates CCRs under the RCRA Subtitle D, which determines them to be nonhazardous. The rule is implemented in phases and requires increased groundwater monitoring, reporting, record keeping and posting of related information to the Internet. The rule also establishes requirements related to CCR management and disposal. The rule will allow NIPSCO to continue its byproduct beneficial use program.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">The publication of the CCR rule resulted in revisions to previously recorded legal obligations associated with the retirement of certain NIPSCO facilities. The actual asset retirement costs related to the CCR rule may vary substantially from the estimates used to record the increased asset retirement obligation due to the uncertainty about the compliance strategies that will be used and the preliminary nature of available data used to estimate costs. In addition, to comply with the rule, NIPSCO will be required to incur future capital expenditures to modify its infrastructure and manage CCRs. Capital compliance costs are currently expected to cost approximately </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$230 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">. As allowed by the EPA, NIPSCO will continue to collect data over time to determine the specific compliance solutions and associated costs and, as a result, the actual costs may vary. NIPSCO has filed a petition with the IURC seeking approval of the projects and to recover the costs associated with CCR compliance. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;text-decoration:underline;">Water</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">ELG. </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">On November 3, 2015, the EPA issued a final rule to amend the ELG and standards for the Steam Electric Power Generating category. The final rule became effective January 4, 2016. The rule imposes new water treatment and discharge requirements on NIPSCO's electric generating facilities to be applied between 2018 and 2023. On April 24, 2017, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals granted the EPA's motion to hold in abeyance the litigation challenging the ELG, while the EPA proceeds with review and reconsideration of the ELG. On April 25, 2017, the EPA published notice in the Federal Register that the EPA is reconsidering the ELG in response to two petitions for reconsideration and that the EPA administratively stays all future ELG compliance deadlines during its review. NIPSCO is unable to estimate the impact of the EPA stay and reconsideration at this time. Based upon a preliminary engineering study, capital compliance costs are currently expected to cost approximately </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$170 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">.  NIPSCO has filed a petition with the IURC seeking approval of the projects and to recover the costs associated with ELG compliance.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">D</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">.     Other Matters. </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Transmission Upgrade Agreements. </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">On February 11, 2014, NIPSCO entered into TUAs with upgrade sponsors to complete upgrades on NIPSCO&#8217;s transmission system on behalf of those sponsors. The upgrade sponsors agreed to reimburse NIPSCO for the total cost to construct transmission upgrades and place them into service, multiplied by a rate of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">1.71</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> ("the multiplier"). </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">On June 10, 2014, certain upgrade sponsors for both TUAs filed a complaint at the FERC against NIPSCO regarding the multiplier stated in the TUAs. On June 30, 2014, NIPSCO filed an answer defending the terms of the TUAs and the just and reasonable nature of the multiplier charged therein and moved for dismissal of the complaint. On December 8, 2014, the FERC issued an order in response to the complaint finding that it is appropriate for NIPSCO to recover, through the multiplier, substantiated costs of ownership related to the TUAs. On August 10, 2016, NIPSCO reached settlement with all remaining parties to the complaint and filed with the FERC for approval. An order from the FERC approving the settlement was received on January 31, 2017. Receipt of the FERC order did not result in a material impact to the Consolidated Financial Statements. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">At the time the TUAs were executed, it was assumed the proceeds received from the upgrade sponsors would be taxable to NIPSCO. Accordingly, the multiplier included a provision for such taxes. On June 10, 2016, the U.S. Treasury Department issued a notice regarding transfers of property to regulated utilities by electric generators, stating that transfers within the scope of the notice will not be treated as taxable. In response to this notice, NIPSCO recorded a liability of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$8.6 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> to reflect the estimated amount owed to the upgrade sponsors for the portion of the multiplier previously collected for taxes. This activity was recorded within "Other, net" in the 2016 Statement of Consolidated Income. On April 4, 2017, the U.S. Internal Revenue Service issued a private letter ruling to NIPSCO.  The ruling provides that the deemed contribution of the intertie and all sums paid for construction meet the safe harbor requirements of Notice 2016-36 and, upon filing a change in accounting method, are excludable from gross income as a non-shareholder contribution to capital.  The receipt of the private letter ruling  will not have a material impact to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited).</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">PHMSA Transmission.</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> On March 17, 2016, PHMSA issued a proposed rule that would, if adopted, add new assessment and data requirements to existing transmission facilities that would necessitate expanded investigation and repair/replace activity on these facilities over the next 15 years. The comment period for the proposed rule closed on July 7, 2016. However, the final timing and scope of this rule remains uncertain. If adopted as proposed, this rule may require NiSource to incur significant incremental capital and operation and maintenance expenditures to achieve compliance. NiSource will continue to monitor this matter, and cannot reasonably estimate its impact at this time.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">PHMSA EFV.</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"> </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">On October 14, 2016, PHMSA issued a final rule that expands safety requirements for EFVs. Among the rule's provisions is a requirement for utilities to notify customers whose service lines are not currently equipped with an EFV of their right to request installation of an EFV. The rule took effect April 14, 2017. During 2017, NiSource's operating companies posted notifications on their websites in compliance with the rule and sought regulatory authority for their proposed cost recovery plans with their respective state regulatory commissions. The outcome of those proposed plans remains pending before the commissions. NiSource continues to evaluate the potential impacts of this regulation on its operations and cannot reasonably estimate its impact at this time.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">NIPSCO 2016 Integrated Resource Plan.</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"> </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Environmental, regulatory and economic factors, including low natural gas prices and aging coal-fired units, have led NIPSCO to consider modifying its current electric generation supply mix to include less coal-fired generation. </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"> </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Due to enacted CCR and ELG legislation, NIPSCO would expect to incur over </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$1 billion</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> in operating, maintenance, environmental and other costs over the next seven years if the current fleet of coal-fired generating units remain operational. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">On November 1, 2016, NIPSCO submitted its 2016 Integrated Resource Plan with the IURC. The plan evaluated demand-side and supply-side resource alternatives to reliably and cost effectively meet NIPSCO customers' future energy requirements over the ensuing twenty years. The 2016 Integrated Resource Plan indicates that the most viable option for customers and NIPSCO involves the retirement of Bailly Generating Station (Units 7 and 8) as soon as mid-2018 and two units (Units 17 and 18) at the R.M. Schahfer Generating Station by the end of 2023. It is projected over the long term that the cost to customers to retire these units at these dates will be lower than maintaining and upgrading them for continuing generation. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">NiSource and NIPSCO committed to the retirement of the Bailly Generating Station units in connection with the filing of the 2016 Integrated Resource Plan, pending approval by the MISO. In the fourth quarter of 2016, the MISO approved NIPSCO's plan to retire the Bailly Generating Station units by May 31, 2018. In accordance with ASC 980-360, the remaining net book value of the Bailly Generating Station units was reclassified from "Net utility plant" to "Other property, at cost, less accumulated depreciation" on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets (unaudited).   </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">In connection with the MISO's approval of NIPSCO's planned retirement of the Bailly Generating Station units, NiSource recorded $</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">22.1 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> of plant retirement-related charges in the fourth quarter of 2016. These charges were comprised of contract termination charges related to NIPSCO's capital lease with Pure Air (discussed further below), voluntary employee severance benefits, and write downs of certain materials and supplies inventory balances. These charges are presented within "Operation and maintenance" on the Statements of Consolidated Income. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">NIPSCO Pure Air.</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> NIPSCO has a service agreement with Pure Air, a general partnership between Air Products and Chemicals, Inc. and First Air Partners LP, under which Pure Air provides scrubber services to reduce sulfur dioxide emissions for Units 7 and 8 at the Bailly Generating Station. Services under this contract commenced on July&#160;1, 1992 and expired on June&#160;30, 2012. The agreement was renewed effective July 1, 2012 for </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">ten</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> years requiring NIPSCO to pay for the services under a combination of fixed and variable charges. NiSource has made an exhaustive effort to obtain information needed from Pure Air to determine the status of Pure Air as a VIE. However, NIPSCO has not been able to obtain this information and, as a result, it is unclear whether Pure Air is a VIE and if NIPSCO is the primary beneficiary. NIPSCO will continue to request the information required to determine whether Pure Air is a VIE. NIPSCO has </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">no</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> exposure to loss related to the service agreement with Pure Air and payments under this agreement were $</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">5.5 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> and $</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">4.9 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> for the </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">three months ended</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">March&#160;31, 2017</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> and </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">2016</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, respectively. In accordance with GAAP, the renewed agreement was evaluated to determine whether the arrangement qualifies as a lease. Based on the terms of the agreement, the arrangement qualified for capital lease accounting. As the effective date of the new agreement was July&#160;1, 2012, NiSource capitalized this lease beginning in the third quarter of 2012.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">As further discussed above in this Note </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">14</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> under the heading "NIPSCO 2016 Integrated Resource Plan," NIPSCO plans to retire the generation station units serviced by Pure Air by May 31, 2018. In December 2016, as allowed by the provisions of the service agreement, NIPSCO provided Pure Air formal notice of intent to terminate the service agreement, effective May 31, 2018. Providing this notice to Pure Air triggered a contract termination liability of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$16 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> which was recorded in fourth quarter of 2016. This expense was included as part of the plant retirement-related charges discussed above. Payment of this liability is not due until NIPSCO ceases use of the scrubber services. The liability is presented in "Other noncurrent liabilities" on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets (unaudited). In addition, NIPSCO remeasured the remaining capital lease asset and obligation to reflect the change in estimated remaining minimum lease payments. This remeasurement was a non-cash transaction that had no impact on the Statements of Consolidated Income. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Technology Services. </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">On December 31, 2013, NiSource Corporate Services Company signed a seven-year agreement with IBM to continue to provide business process and support functions to NiSource under a combination of fixed and variable charges, with the variable charges fluctuating based on the actual need for such services. The agreement was effective January 1, 2014 with a commencement date of April 1, 2014.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">In April 2017, NiSource initiated a process to terminate its agreement with IBM and is negotiating contracts with IT service providers other than IBM. Upon a termination of the agreement with IBM by NiSource for any reason (other than material breach by IBM), NiSource may be required to pay IBM a termination charge that could include a breakage fee, repayment of IBM&#8217;s capital investments not yet recovered and IBM&#8217;s wind-down expense, which, if payable, could be material.</font></div></div><span></span>

Additionally, NiSource participates in an informal forum of industry peers where questions can be asked and interpretations of the new standard can be shared. Recently, involvement in this group has resulted in additional clarity on industry-specific issues such as treatment of CIAC, scoping of tariff arrangements and presentation of alternative revenue programs. This clarity will help to further NiSource's adoption efforts. NiSource has separated its various revenue streams into high-level categories, which serve as the basis for accounting analysis and documentation as it relates to the pronouncement's impact on NiSource's revenues. Substantially all of NiSource&#8217;s revenues are tariff based, which NiSource concluded will be in scope of ASC 606. NiSource has also undertaken efforts to outline mock footnote disclosures intended to satisfy ASC 606's disclosure requirements. NiSource expects to adopt this ASU effective January 1, 2018.

This includes compiling a list of all contracts that could meet the definition of a lease under the new standard and evaluating the accounting for these contracts under the new standard to determine the ultimate impact the new standard will have on NiSource&#8217;s financial statements. Also this procedure has identified process improvements to ensure data from newly initiated leases is captured to comply with the new standard. This work included the assistance of a third-party advisory firm. As of March 31, 2017, no conclusion has been reached as to when NiSource will adopt this standard.</font></div></td></tr></table></div></div></div><span></span>

Upon adoption, NiSource elected to begin accounting for forfeitures of share-based awards as they occur. The impact of this change was not material. Additionally, NiSource recorded a $25.3 million credit to beginning retained deficit. This adjustment represents excess tax benefits generated in years prior to 2016 that were previously not recognized in stockholders' equity due to NOLs in those years. Both of these adjustments were adopted on a modified retrospective basis. Lastly, NiSource recorded income tax benefits of $7.2 million related to excess tax benefits generated in 2016. This provision was adopted on a prospective basis. However, because NiSource adopted the standard during an interim period, the standard required this $7.2 million benefit be reflected as though it was adopted as of January 1, 2016. Quarter-to-date March 31, 2016 and June 30, 2016 earnings per share from continuing operations increased by $0.02 and $0.00, respectively, as a result of the adoption. For additional information, see Note 2, "Recent Accounting Pronouncements" in NiSource's 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2016. </font></div></td></tr></table></div></div></div><span></span>
