ORDER GRANTING FLORIDA POWER & LIGHT COMPANY' S REQUEST FOR
CONFIDENTIAL CLASSIFICATION OF DOCUMENT NO. 05910-2023
On October 31, 2023, 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 a
Request for Confidential Classification (Request) of information contained in FPL's confidential
spreadsheets and contractor travel logs that support FPL's storm restoration costs for Tropical
Storm Alex. Specifically, FPL seeks confidential classification of Docket No. 05910-2023.
Request for Confidential Classification
FPL 	contends 	that 	Document 	No. 	05910-2023 	contains 	certain 	information 	that
constitutes "proprietary and confidential business information" entitled to protection under
Section 366.093, F .S. 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. 05910-2023 contains information concerning
contractual data, the disclosures of which would impair the efforts of FPL or its affiliates to
contract for goods or services on favorable terms. FPL asserts that this information is entitled to
confidential classification pursuant to Sections 366.093(3)(d) and (e), F.S.
Ruling
Section 366.093(1), F.S., provides that records the Florida Public Service Commission
(Commission) has found to contain proprietary business information shall be kept confidential
and shall be exempt from Section 119.07(1), 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 di sclosure 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 the information.

Upon review, it appears the above-referenced information satisfies the criteria set forth in
Section 366.093(3), F.S., for classification as proprietary confidential business information. The
information described above and in FPL’s Request appears to concern bids or other contractual
data, the disclosure of which would impair the efforts of FPL or its affiliates to contract for
goods or services on favorable terms, and information relating to competitive interests, the
disclosure of which would impair the competitive business of FPL. 	Thus, the information
identified in Document No. 05910-2023 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 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 &
Light Company’s Request for Confidential Classification of Document No. 05910-2023 is
granted. 	It is further
ORDERED that the information in Document No. 05910-2023, 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. It is further
ORDERED that this docket shall be closed.
