ISSUED: May 	8, 2026
ORDER GRANTING CSWR-FLORIDA UTILITY OPERATING COMPANY, LLC’S
REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL CLASSIFICATION (DOCUMENT NO, 00963-2026)
On February 	5, 2026, pursuant to Rule 25-22.006, Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.),
CSWR-Florida 	Utility 	Operating 	Company, LLC (CSWR 	or 	Utility) 	filed 	a 	request 	for
confidential 	classification (Request) of certain information provided in Financial Statements 	in
Docket No. 2026001 9-WS (Document No. 00963-2026).
Request for Confidential Classification
CSWR 	contends 	that 	designated 	portions 	of 	the 	information 	constitute 	proprietary
confidential business information 	entitled 	to protection under Section 367.156, 	Florida 	Statutes
(F.S.), and Rule 25-22.006, F.A.C. CSWR asserts that disclosure of the confidential information
in the documents 	is intended to be proprietary, 	is treated as proprietary, and has not been publicly
disclosed. CSWR 	requests 	that 	the 	Florida 	Public 	Service Commission (Commission) 	grant
confidential 	classification 	for 	the documents 	for 	a period 	of 	18 months ftom 	the 	date of the
issuance of this Order, pursuant to Section 367.156(4), F.S.
CSWR contends the information for which confidentiality 	is sought relates 	to competitive
interests, 	the 	disclosure 	of which would 	impair 	the 	competitive 	business 	of 	the 	provider of
information. 	Specifically, 	the information concerns 	material regarding 	the balance 	sheets and
statements 	of 	operations 	from CSWR, LLC 	and 	subsidiaries. CSWR 	argues 	that 	such
information 	is entitled to confidential classification pursuant to Section 367.156(3)(e), F.S.
Ruling
Section 	367.156(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 	367.156(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 367.156(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 information.

Upon review, it appears the above-referenced information satisfies the criteria set forth in
Section 367.156(3), F.S., for classification as proprietary confidential business information. The
information described above and in CSWR’s Request appears to contain “information relating to
competitive interests, the disclosure of which would impair the competitive business of the
provider of information.” Thus, the information identified in Document No. 00963-2026 shall be
granted confidential classification.
Pursuant to Section 367.156(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 CSWR, 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
ORDERED by Commissioner Mike La Rosa as Prehearing Officer, that CSWR-Florida
Utility Operating Company, LLC’s Request for Confidential Classification of Document No.
00963-2026, is granted. It is further
ORDERED that the information in Document No. 00963-2026 for which confidential
classification has been granted shall remain protected from disclosure for a period of 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 CSWR-
Florida Utility Operating Company, LLC or another affected person shows, and the Commission
finds, that the records continue to contain proprietary confidential business information. 	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.
