ISSUED: October 23, 2026
ORDER GRANTING OFFICE OF PUBLIC COUNSEL’S
REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL CLASSIFICATION
(DOCUMENT NO. 05331-2026)
On August 	20, 2026, pursuant 	to 	Section 366.093, 	Florida 	Statutes 	(F.S.), and Rule 25-
22.006, 	Florida 	Administrative Code 	(F.A.C.), 	the 	Office 	of Public 	Counsel (OPC) 	filed 	a
Request for Confidential Classification (Request) of certain information sent in response to Staff
of the Florida Public 	Service Commission’s 	(Staff) 	First Request 	for Production of Documents
Nos. 	1-3 (Document No. 05331-2026).
Request for Confidential Classification
OPC contends 	that the information 	in Document No. 05331-2026 	constitutes proprietary
and 	confidential 	business 	information 	entitled 	to 	protection under 	Section 	366.093, 	F.S., and
Rule 25-22.006, F.A.C. OPC 	asserts that the information 	at issue relates 	to competitive 	interests,
the disclosure of which would impair the competitive business of the provider of the information.
More 	specifically, 	the information 	for which confidentiality 	is sought contains a financial report
obtained 	through 	a 	paid 	subscription 	service. 	Therefore, OPC 	argues 	the 	information 	is
confidential and 	is protected by Section 366.093(3)(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:
(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. 	05331-2026,
satisfies 	the 	criteria 	set 	forth 	in 	Section 	366.093(3)(e), 	F.S. 	for 	classification 	as 	proprietary
confidential 	business 	information. The 	information 	described 	above 	and 	in OPC’s 	Request
appears 	to 	contain 	a 	financial 	report 	obtained 	through 	a 	paid 	subscription 	service, 	which
constitutes “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. 05331-2026 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 OPC or another
affected person shows, and the Commission finds, that the records continue to contain
proprietary confidential business information.
Based on the foregoing, it is hereby
ORDERED by Commissioner Mike La Rosa as Prehearing Officer, that the Office of
Public Counsel’s Request for Confidential Classification of Document No. 05331-2026 is
granted. It is further
ORDERED that the information in Document No. 05331-2026, 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.
By ORDER of Commissioner Mike La Rosa, as Prehearing Officer, this 23rd day of
October, 2026.
