ORDER GRANTING FLORIDA POWER & LIGHT COMPANY’S
THIRD REQUEST FOR EXTENSION OF CONFIDENTIAL CLASSIFICATION
(DOCUMENT NO. 12478-2021)
On June 	16, 	2026, 	pursuant 	to 	Section 366.093, 	Florida 	Statutes 	(F.S.), and Rule 	25-
22.006, Florida Administrative Code 	(F.A.C.), Florida Power & Light Company (FPL) 	filed 	its
Third Request for Extension of Confidential Classification of documents contained 	in the staffs
Audit Control No. 2018-036-4-1. 	Specifically, FPL seeks extended confidential classification of
Document No. 12478-2021.
Request for Confidential Classification
FPL’s 	original 	request 	for 	confidential 	treatment of information was 	granted by Order
No. PSC-2018-0525-CFO-EI, 	issued on Noember 	2, 2018. FPL’s 	first request 	for extension of
confidential treatment of information was granted by Order No. PSC-2021-0439-CFO-EI, issued
on November 	23, 	2021. 	FPL’s second 	request 	for 	confidential 	treatment 	of information was
granted by Order No. PSC-2024-0498-CFO-EI, 	issued on December 	16, 2024. FPL 	asserts 	that
the 	information 	that was 	the 	subject of Order Nos. PSC-2018-0525-CFO-EI, PSC-202 1-0439-
CFO-EI, 	and 	PSC-2024-0498-CFO-EI 	warrants 	continued 	treatment 	as 	proprietary 	and
confidential business information.
FPL 	contends 	that 	Document 	No. 	12478-2021 	contains 	certain 	information 	that
constitutes 	“proprietary 	confidential business information” 	entitled 	to 	protection under 	Section
366.093, 	F.S., and Rule 25-22.006, F.A.C. FPL 	states 	that 	this information 	is intended to be and
is treated by FPL 	as private and has not been publicly disclosed.
FPL 	further contends 	that Document No. 	12478-2021 	contains 	information concerning
internal 	auditing 	controls and 	reports on 	internal 	auditors and 	asserts 	that 	this 	information 	is
protected 	by 	Section 	366.093(3)(b), 	F.S. 	Additionally, FPL 	asserts 	the 	documents 	contain
information concerning contractual 	data, that the disclosure of which would impair the efforts of
the public utility or 	its affiliates to contract for goods of services on favorable terms, and that this
information 	is protected by Section 366.093(3)(d) and 	(e), F.S.
Ruling
Section 	366.093(1), 	F.S., provides 	that records 	the Florida Public 	Service 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:
(d) Information concerning bids or other contractual data, the disclosure of which
would impair the efforts of the public utility or its affiliates to contract for goods
or services on favorable terms.
(e) Information relating to competitive interests, the disclosure of which would
impair the competitive business of the provider of information.
Upon review, it appears that the information satisfies the criteria set forth in Section
366.093(3), 	F.S., 	for 	classification 	as 	proprietary 	confidential 	business 	information. 	The
information appears to be audit workpapers that contain internal auditing controls and reports of
internal auditors, information concerning bids or other contractual data, and information relating
to competitive interests. The disclosure of these documents would impair FPL’s efforts to
contract for goods or services on favorable terms, and would impair the competitive business of
the provider of information. Thus, the information identified in Document No. 12478-2021 shall
be granted a continuation of 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 FPL 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 Gary F. Clark, as Prehearing Officer, that Florida Power
and 	Light 	Company’s 	First 	Request 	for 	Extension 	of 	Confidential 	Classification 	of 	the
information contained in Document No. 12478-2021 is granted. It is further
ORDERED that the information in Document No. 12478-2021 for which confidential
classification has been granted, shall remain protected from disclosure for a period of up to 18
months from the date 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.
