Sec. 501.733  Evidence: confidential information, protective orders.

    (a) Procedure. In any proceeding as defined in Sec. 501.702, a 
respondent; the Director; any person who is the owner, subject or 
creator of a document subject to subpoena or which may be introduced as 
evidence; or any witness who testifies at a hearing may file a motion 
requesting a protective order to limit from disclosure to other parties 
or to the public documents or testimony containing confidential 
information. The motion should include a general summary or extract of 
the documents without revealing confidential details. If a person seeks 
a protective order against disclosure to other parties as well as the 
public, copies of the documents shall not be served on other parties. 
Unless the documents are unavailable, the person shall file for 
inspection by the Administrative Law Judge a sealed copy of the 
documents as to which the order is sought.
    (b) Basis for issuance. Documents and testimony introduced in a 
public hearing are presumed to be public. A motion for a protective 
order shall be granted only upon a finding that the harm resulting from 
disclosure would outweigh the benefits of disclosure.
    (c) Requests for additional information supporting confidentiality. 
A person seeking a protective order under paragraph (a) of this section 
may be required to furnish in writing additional information with 
respect to the grounds for confidentiality. Failure to supply the 
information so requested not later than 5 days from the date of receipt 
by the person of a notice of the information required shall be deemed a 
waiver of the objection to public disclosure of that portion of the 
documents to which the additional information relates, unless the 
Administrative Law Judge shall otherwise order for good cause shown at 
or before the expiration of such 5-day period.
    (d) Confidentiality of documents pending decision. Pending a 
determination of a motion under this section, the documents as to which 
confidential treatment is sought and any other documents that would 
reveal the confidential information in those documents shall be 
maintained under seal and shall be disclosed only in accordance with 
orders of the Administrative Law Judge. Any order issued in connection 
with a motion under this section shall be made public unless the order 
would disclose information as to which a protective order has been 
granted, in which case that portion of the order that would reveal the 
protected information shall not be made public.
