Annual registration FAQ What is the Commission’s policy on handling proprietary business information?

Please see the Commission’s January 24, 2024, Order Granting Confidential Treatment of Registration information. To summarize the findings of that order: The Commission will treat specific form information as confidential for five years from the date the annual registration form is submitted and will ask that the Department of Public Service and the Agency of Natural Resources do the same. Specifically, “[t]he information supplied on the Fuel Dealer Annual Registration form in response to the questions in the following categories on the registration form will be treated as confidential: heating fuel overview and for each type of heating fuel: heating fuel imported, heating fuel purchased in Vermont, and heating fuel sold in Vermont” (Order Granting Confidential Treatment of Registration Information, Case 23-2220-RULE, Order of 1/24/24 at 10).
