`
`
`
`A1
`
`
`
`Board upon a motion brought by the party seeking to disclose confidential
`
`information to that person. The party opposing disclosure to that person shall have
`
`the burden of proving that such person should be restricted from access to
`
`confidential information.
`
`(F) The Office. Employees and representatives of the Office who have a need
`
`for access to the confidential information shall have such access without the
`
`requirement to sign an Acknowledgement. Such employees and representatives
`
`shall include the Director, members of the Board and their clerical staff, other
`
`support personnel, court reporters, and other persons acting on behalf of the Office.

`
`necessary to assist those persons in the proceeding shall not be required to sign an

`
`information.
`
`3. Persons receiving confidential information shall use reasonable efforts
`
`to maintain the confidentiality of the information, including:
`
`(A) Maintaining such information in a secure location to which persons not
`
`authorized to receive the information shall not have access;
`
`
`
`A2
`
`
`
`(B) Otherwise using reasonable efforts to maintain the confidentiality of the

`information, which efforts shall be no less rigorous than those the recipient uses to

`(C) Ensuring that support personnel of the recipient who have access to the
`
`confidential information understand and abide by the obligation to maintain the
`
`confidentiality of information received that is designated as confidential; and
`
`(D) Limiting the copying of confidential information to a reasonable number
`
`of copies needed for conduct of the proceeding and maintaining a record of the
`
`locations of such copies.

`4. Persons receiving confidential information shall use the
`
`following procedures to maintain the confidentiality of the information:
`
`(A) Documents and Information Filed With the Board.
`
`(i) A party may file documents or information with the Board under
`
`seal, together with a non-confidential description of the nature of the
`
`confidential information that is under seal and the reasons why the
`
`information is confidential and should not be made available to the public.
`
`The submission shall be treated as confidential and remain under seal,
`
`unless, upon motion of a party and after a hearing on the issue, or sua
`
`sponte, the Board determines that the documents or information do not to
`
`qualify for confidential treatment.
`
`A3
`
`
`
`
`
`(ii) Where confidentiality is alleged as to some but not all of the
`
`information submitted to the Board, the submitting party shall file
`
`confidential and non- confidential versions of its submission, together with a
`
`Motion to Seal the confidential version setting forth the reasons why the
`
`information redacted from the non-confidential version is confidential and
`
`should not be made available to the public. The nonconfidential version of
`
`the submission shall clearly indicate the locations of information that has
`
`been redacted. The confidential version of the submission shall be filed
`
`under seal. The redacted information shall remain under seal unless, upon
`
`motion of a party and after a hearing on the issue, or sua sponte, the Board
`
`determines that some or all of the redacted information does not qualify for
`
`confidential treatment.
`
`(B) Documents and Information Exchanged Among the Parties. Information
`
`designated as confidential that is disclosed to another party during discovery or
`
`other proceedings before the Board shall be clearly marked as ‘‘PROTECTIVE
`
`ORDER MATERIAL’’ and shall be produced in a manner that maintains its
`
`confidentiality.
