14. Confidential Information

On October 22, 2007, concurrent with its motion to offer testimony into evidence, SCE filed a motion to seal the evidentiary record. SCE has provided declarations regarding the confidentiality of data provided in prepared testimony in support of its application request. The declarations identify information subject to requested confidential treatment, the appropriate reference to the Matrix Category in Appendix A of D.06-06-066³³ regarding confidential treatment of investor owned utility data, and the assertion that the detailed information is required for the application and cannot be aggregated, summarized, redacted masked or otherwise protected in a way that allows partial disclosure.

SCE requests Exhibit 1 be received into evidence under seal. An examination of the information contained in Exhibit 1 confirms the need for confidential treatment as indicated by SCE. The request will be granted.

³³ D.06-06-066, Appendix A, Part VII (G) provides that RPS contract summaries, including counterparty, resource type, location, capacity, expected deliveries, delivery point, length of contract and online date are public. Other terms are to remain confidential for three years, or until one year following expiration, whichever comes first.
