B. 	Confidential Information Provided Pursuant to Discovery
Any information provided to the Commission staff pursuant to a discovery request by the
staff or any other person and for which proprietary confidential business information status is
requested pursuant to Section 366.093, F.S., and Rule 25-22.006, F.A.C., shall be treated by the
Commission as confidential. The information shall be exempt from Subsection 119.07(1), F.S.,
pending a formal ruling on such request by the Commission or pending return of the information
to the person providing the information. 	If no determination of confidentiality has been made
and the information has not been made a part of the evidentiary record in this proceeding, it shall
be returned to the person providing the information. 	If a determination of confidentiality has
been made and the information was not entered into the record of this proceeding, it shall be
returned to the person providing the information within the time period set forth in Section
366.093, F.S. 	The Commission may determine that continued possession of the information is
necessary for the Commission to conduct its business.
Redacted versions of confidential filings may be served electronically, but in no instance
may confidential information be electronically submitted. 	If the redacted version is served
electronically, the confidential information (which may be on a CD, DVD, or flash drive) shall
be filed with the Commission Clerk via hand-delivery, U.S. Mail, or overnight mail on the day
that the redacted version was served via e-mail.

Public Counsel or any other party, that party may request a temporary protective order pursuant
to Rule 25-22.006(6)(c), F.A.C., exempting the information from Subsection 119.07(1), F.S.
When a party other than the Commission staff or the Office of Public Counsel requests
information through discovery that the respondent maintains as proprietary confidential business
information, or when such a party would otherwise be entitled to copies of such information
requested by other parties through discovery (e.g., interrogatory responses), that party and
respondent shall endeavor in good faith to reach agreement that will allow for the exchange of
such information on reasonable terms, as set forth in Rule 25-22.006(7)(b), F.A.C.

(1) 	The name of all known witnesses whose testimony has been prefiled or
who may be called by the party, along with the subject matter of each such
witness’ testimony and the corresponding issue numbers in the following
format:
All Known Witnesses
Witness 	Subject Matter 	Issues #
Direct
John Smith 	Subject . . . 	1, 3-5

(4) 	A statement of each question of fact, question of law, and policy question
that the party considers at issue, along with the party’s position on each
issue, and, where applicable, the names of the party’s witness(es) who will
address each issue. Parties who wish to maintain “no position at this time”
on any particular issue or issues should refer to the requirements of
subsection C, below;
(5) 	A statement of issues to which the parties have stipulated;
(6) 	A statement of all pending motions or other matters the party seeks action

shall identify each witness the party wishes to voir dire as well as state
with specificity the portions of that witness’ pre-filed testimony, by page
and line number, and/or exhibits, by page and line number, to which the

time the witness is offered for cross examination at hearing;

DOCKET NO. 20240001-EI
PAGE 7
(9) 	A request for sequestration of witnesses, so any such request may be
resolved by the Prehearing Officer prior to the hearing. 	Failure to make
such a request shall constitute a waiver of the right to request sequestration
of witnesses absent a showing of good cause; and
(10) 	A statement as to any requirement set forth in this order that cannot be complied
with, and the reasons therefore.
Failure of a party to timely file a prehearing statement shall be a waiver of any issue not
raised by other parties or by the Commission. 	In addition, such failure shall preclude the party
from presenting testimony in support of its position on each such issue.
B. 	Attendance at Prehearing Conference
Pursuant to Rule 28-106.209, F.A.C., a Prehearing Conference will be held October 24,
2024, at the Betty Easley Conference Center, 4075 Esplanade Way, Tallahassee, Florida. Unless
excused 	by 	the 	Prehearing 	Officer 	for 	good 	cause 	shown, 	each 	party 	(or 	designated
representative) shall personally appear at the prehearing conference. 	Failure of a party (or that
party’s representative) to appear shall constitute waiver of that party’s issues and positions, and
that party may be dismissed from the proceeding.
C. 	Waiver of Issues
Any issue not raised by a party either before or during the Prehearing Conference shall be
waived by that party, except for good cause shown. A party seeking to raise a new issue after the
Prehearing Conference shall address each of the following:
(1) 	Whether the party was unable to identify the issue because of the complexity of
the matter;
(2) 	Whether discovery or other prehearing procedures were not adequate to fully
develop the issue;
(3) 	Whether due diligence was exercised to obtain facts touching on the issue;
(4) 	Whether information obtained subsequent to the Prehearing Conference was not
previously available to enable the party to identify the issue; and
(5) 	Whether introduction of the issue would not be to the prejudice or surprise of any
party.
Specific reference shall be made to the information received and how it enabled the party to
identify the issue.
Unless a matter is not at issue for that party, each party shall take a position on each issue
by the time of the Prehearing Conference or by such later time as may be permitted by the
Prehearing Officer. If a party is unable through diligence and good faith efforts to take a position
on a matter at issue for that party, it shall explicitly state in its prehearing statement why it
cannot take a position. If the Prehearing Officer finds that the party has acted diligently and in
good faith to take a position, and further finds that the party’s failure to take a position will not

DOCKET NO. 20240001-EI
PAGE 8
prejudice other parties or confuse the proceeding, the party may maintain “no position at this
time” prior to hearing and thereafter conduct cross examination on the issue and identify its
position in a post-hearing statement of issues. In the absence of such a finding by the Prehearing
Officer, the party shall have waived the entire issue, and the party’s position shall be shown as
“no position” in the Prehearing Order. If a party takes “no position” on an issue by the time of
the Prehearing Conference, or by such other time as may be permitted by the Prehearing Officer,
it has waived its opportunity to conduct cross examination on the issue as well as file a post-
hearing brief on the issue. 	Commission staff may take “no position at this time” or a similar
position on any issue without having to make the showing described above and without waiver
of cross-examination.
D. 	Motions to Strike Prefiled Testimony and Exhibits
Motions to strike any portion of the prefiled testimony and related portions of exhibits of
any witness shall be made in writing no later than seven days prior to the Prehearing Conference,
and identify with specificity the page and line numbers of the information to be stricken.
Motions to strike any portion of prefiled testimony and related portions of exhibits at hearing
shall be considered untimely, absent good cause shown.
E. 	Demonstrative Exhibits
If a party wishes to use a demonstrative exhibit or other demonstrative tools at hearing,
such materials must be identified by the time of the Prehearing Conference.
F. 	Official Recognition
Parties seeking official recognition of materials pursuant to Subsection 120.569(2)(i),
F.S., shall notify all other parties and staff in writing no later than two business days prior to the
first scheduled hearing date. 	Such notification shall identify all materials for which the party
seeks official recognition, and copies of such materials shall be provided along with the
notification.
G. 	Use of Depositions at Hearing
Absent agreement by all parties concerning the introduction of depositions into the record
at the hearing, any party wishing to introduce all or part of a deposition at hearing for any
purpose other than impeachment, must file a Notice of Intent to Use Deposition no later than the
last day to conduct discovery in this docket as set forth in Section IX of this Order. The Notice
shall include the following information for each deposition:
(1) Name of witness deposed;
(2) Date deposition was taken; and
(3) Page and line numbers of each deposition the party seeks to introduce, when

Objection(s) to the entry into the record of a deposition or portion thereof at hearing for
purposes other than impeachment must be made in writing within three days of filing a Notice of
Intent to use Deposition for resolution by the Prehearing Officer.
VII. 	Hearing Procedures
A. 	Attendance at Hearing
Unless excused by the Presiding Officer for good cause shown, each party (or designated
representative) shall personally appear at the hearing. 	Failure of a party, or that party’s
representative, to appear shall constitute waiver of that party’s issues, and that party may be
dismissed from the proceeding.
Likewise, all witnesses are expected to be present at the hearing unless excused by the
Presiding Officer upon the staff attorney’s confirmation prior to the hearing date of the
following:
(1) 	All parties agree that the witness will not be needed for cross examination.
(2) 	All Commissioners assigned to the panel do not have questions for the witness.
In the event a witness is excused in this manner, his or her testimony may be entered into
the record as though read following the Commission’s approval of the proposed stipulation of
that witness’ testimony.
B. 	Cross examination
The parties shall avoid duplicative or repetitious cross examination. Further, friendly
cross examination will not be allowed. 	Cross examination shall be limited to witnesses whose
testimony is adverse to the party desiring to cross-examine. Any party conducting what appears
to be a friendly cross examination of a witness should be prepared to indicate why that witness’s
direct testimony is adverse to its interests.
During cross examination, if a witness (or their counsel) responds (or objects) to a
relevant 	question by referring the question to another party witness, the counsel who is
sponsoring the current witness shall confirm the identity of the appropriate party witness who
can more fully address the question.
Each party shall be required to provide by a time certain and in a manner to be announced
at a later date, all exhibits (whether for substantive, corroborative, impeachment, or rebuttal
purposes, including deposition transcripts that may be used for impeachment) reasonably
expected or intended to be offered at the hearing.

C. 	Use of Confidential Information at Hearing
It is the policy of this Commission that all Commission hearings be open to the public at
all times. The Commission also recognizes its obligation pursuant to Section 366.093, F.S., to
protect proprietary confidential business information from disclosure outside the proceeding.
Therefore, any party wishing to use at the hearing any proprietary confidential business
information, as that term is defined in Section 366.093, F.S., shall adhere to the following:
(1) 	When confidential information is used in the hearing that has not been filed as
prefiled 	testimony 	or 	prefiled 	exhibits, 	parties 	must 	have 	copies 	for 	the
Commissioners, necessary staff, and the court reporter, in red envelopes clearly
marked with the nature of the contents. 	Any party wishing to examine the
confidential material that is not subject to an order granting confidentiality shall
be provided a copy in the same fashion as provided to the Commissioners, subject
to execution of any appropriate protective agreement with the owner of the
material.
(2) 	Counsel and witnesses are cautioned to avoid verbalizing confidential information
in such a way that would compromise confidentiality. 	Therefore, confidential
information should be presented by written exhibit when reasonably possible.
If a confidential exhibit has been admitted into evidence, the copy electronically provided
to the Clerk’s office shall be retained in the Clerk’s confidential files. 	If such information is
admitted into the evidentiary record at hearing and is not otherwise subject to a request for
confidentiality filed with the Commission, the source of the information must file a request for
confidential classification of the information within 21 days of the conclusion of the hearing, as
set forth in Rule 25-22.006(8)(b), F.A.C., if continued confidentiality of the information is to be
maintained.
VIII. 	Post-Hearing Procedures
If the Commission (or assigned panel) does not render a bench decision at the hearing, it
may allow each party to file a post-hearing statement of issues and positions pursuant to the
schedule set forth in Section IX of this Order. In such event, a summary of each position of no
more than 75 words, set off with asterisks, shall be included in that statement. 	If a party’s
position has not changed since the issuance of the prehearing order, the post-hearing statement
may simply restate the prehearing position. However, the position must be reduced to no more
than 75 words. 	If a post-hearing statement is required and a party fails to file in conformance
with the rule, that party shall have waived all issues and may be dismissed from the proceeding.
Pursuant to Rule 28-106.215, F.A.C., a party’s proposed findings of fact and conclusions
of law, if any, statement of issues and positions, and brief, shall together total no more than 40
pages (inclusive of attachments) and shall be filed at the same time, unless modified by the
Presiding Officer.
