Entities seeking confidential treatment should recognize the strong public interest in disclosure of Y2K readiness information, and should seek confidential treatment only if they can demonstrate to the Commission's satisfaction both that the portions they wish kept confidential fall within a specific exemption in the California Public Records Act (Government Code Section 6250 et seq.) and that the public interest in nondisclosure clearly outweighs the public interest in disclosure. An entity should not seek confidential treatment of any information which has been made publicly available through Y2K readiness reports filed by that entity with other agencies or through reports posted on the entity's web site. Any request for confidentiality must be filed prior to the close of the comment period for this resolution.

An accompanying declaration under penalty of perjury shall also be submitted setting forth all the reasons for the late submission. __________________________________________ Draft Resolution Authorizing Southern California Edison Company and Pacific Gas and Electric Company to Implement a Payment Deferral Plan for Citrus Producers.
