On July 30, 2008, DRA and Joint Applicants filed a Motion for Leave to File Under Seal portions of Exhibit B of the Settlement Agreement, which contains material designated confidential by Joint Applicants. DRA and Joint Applicants ask that this document be Filed Under Seal until such time as Joint Applicants agree to its public release or the Commission so orders.
Pursuant to Pub. Util. Code § 583 and General Order (GO) 66-C, the Motion for Protective Order will be granted. Joint Applicants represent that the information is proprietary and sensitive, and the information, if revealed would place Joint Applicants at an unfair business disadvantage. We have granted similar requests in the past and will do so here. All sealed information should remain sealed for a period of two years after the effective date of this order. If Joint Applicants believe that further protection of the sealed information is needed beyond the two years, Joint Applicants shall comply with the procedure set forth in Ordering Paragraph 3.
