11. Request to File Under Seal

Pursuant to Rule 11.4 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure,³ Shasta has filed motions for protective order, to file Exhibit E to the application and Exhibit A to Shasta's response to the Ruling, as confidential material under seal. Exhibits E and A contain the company's financial showing, including a bank statement and guarantee of funds. Shasta represents that the information is sensitive, and disclosure could place Shasta at an unfair business disadvantage. We have granted similar requests in the past and do so here.
