Request for Confidentiality

Applicants have requested that financial information pertaining to Searles Valley Holdings, LLC Balance Sheet and Income Statement filed with this application be kept under seal. Applicants represent that the information is proprietary and sensitive. The information, if revealed, would place Applicants at an unfair business disadvantage. We have granted similar requests in the past and ALJ Jean Vieth has done so in a ruling in this case on March 12, 2008 (See Attachment A).
