Blanket General Protective Order with Sample Notice
The Commission's
General Protective Order (GPO) provides a template companies can use to produce confidential information under protection to signatories of the protective order. Only parties to a proceeding and their employees, witnesses, and consultants can sign a protective order. You must sign a new protective order for each proceeding in which you are a party if you want to receive confidential material for that proceeding. In order to use this blanket GPO, the party wishing to protect information must file a notice with the Commission containing a brief description of the information it wishes to protect.
A sample of that notice can be found in the GPO (in Appendix D), while more details are available in the
GPO Factsheet. Parties may receive confidential information if they certify to having “an interest in these proceedings that is not adequately represented by other parties to the proceeding.” Confidential information may only be used for purposes of participating in the proceeding. You must take reasonable precautions to keep confidential information that you receive secure. A
sample notice for the Blanket General Protective Order is available in a Word document for your convenience to download and use.
