ORDER GRANTING JEA’s
REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL CLASSIFICATION
(DOCUMENT NO, 03971-2026)
On 	July 	7, 	2026, 	pursuant 	to 	Section 	366.093, 	Florida 	Statutes 	(F.S.), 	and 	Rule 	25-
22.006, 	Florida 	Administrative 	Code 	(F.A.C.), 	JEA 	filed 	a 	Request 	for 	Confidential
Classification 	(Request) 	of 	certain 	information 	sent 	in 	response 	to 	Florida 	Public 	Service
Commission Staffs First Set of Interrogatories No. 	1(b) (Document No. 03971-2026).
Request for Confidential Classification
JEA 	contends 	that 	the 	information 	in 	Exhibits A 	and C 	of 	the 	Request 	constitute
proprietary and confidential business information 	entitled 	to protection under Section 366.093,
F.S., and Rule 25-22.006, F.A.C. 	JEA asserts that the information 	at issue relates to: 	(i) security
measures, 	systems, 	or procedures; and 	(ii) competitive 	interests, 	the disclosure of which would
impair the competitive business of JEA. 	Therefore, JEA argues 	the information 	is confidential
and is protected by Section 366.093(c) and 	(e), F.S.
Ruling
Section 	366.093(1), 	F.S., 	provides 	that 	records 	the Commission has found 	to 	contain
proprietary business 	information 	shall be kept 	confidential and 	shall be exempt from Chapter
119, 	F.S. 	Section 	366.093(3), 	F.S., 	defines 	proprietary 	confidential 	business 	information 	as
information that 	is intended to be and 	is treated by the company as private, 	in 	that disclosure of
the information would cause harm to 	the company’s ratepayers 	or business operations, and has
not been voluntarily disclosed to the public. 	Section 366.093(3), 	F.S., provides 	that proprietary
confidential business information includes, but 	is not limited to:
(c) 	Security measures, systems, or procedures.
(e) 	Information 	relating 	to competitive 	interests, 	the 	disclosure of which would
impair the competitive business of the provider of the information.
Upon review, 	it appears the above-referenced information in Document No. 03971-2026,
satisfies 	the 	criteria 	set forth 	in Section 366.093(c) and 	(e), 	F.S. 	for classification as proprietary
confidential 	business 	information. 	The 	information 	described 	above 	and 	in 	JEA’s 	Request
contains 	maps 	depicting 	existing 	and 	proposed 	natural 	gas 	pipeline 	infrastructure, 	which

constitutes “security measures, systems, or procedures,” and “information relating to competitive
interests, the disclosure of which would impair the competitive business of the provider of the
information.” Thus, the information identified in Document No. 03971-2026 shall be granted
confidential classification.
Pursuant to Section 366.093(4), F.S., the information for which confidential classification
is granted herein shall remain protected from disclosure for a period of up to 18 months from the
date of issuance of this Order. 	At the conclusion of the 18-month period, the confidential
information will no longer be exempt from Section 119.07(1), F.S., unless JEA or another
affected person shows, and the Commission finds, that the records continue to contain
proprietary confidential business information.
Upon consideration of JEA’s assertions of the confidential nature of the information
contained in portions of the discovery responses, Document No. 03971-2026, JEA’s Request for
Confidential Classification is hereby granted. 	As a result, this information shall be protected
from disclosure pursuant to Rule 25-22.006(6), F.A.C.
Based on the foregoing, it is hereby
ORDERED by Commissioner Mike La Rosa as Prehearing Officer, that JEA’s Request
for Confidential Classification of Document No. 03971-2026 is granted. It is further
ORDERED that the information in Document No. 03971-2026, for which confidential
classification has been granted, shall remain protected from disclosure for a period of up to 18
months from the date of issuance of this Order. It is further
ORDERED that this Order shall be the only notification by the Commission to the parties
of the date of declassification of the materials discussed herein.
