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’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 June 30, 2017, NiSource has not concluded on a method of adoption, nor is NiSource able to estimate the impact the adoption of these standards will have on the financial statements.<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.
