approval of the Court, provided for herein, as follows:

1. On February 11, 2014, the parties stipulated for purposes of the matters to be decided

2. Upon further review of the specified records, the Department of Energy identified 

three individuals during this seven-week period whom the Department of Energy contends a 

knowledgeable member of the public could identify by their work classification of Power 

Equipment Operator and their group classifications of groups 3, 9, and 11.

3. The Department of Energy has confirmed that no more than three individuals worked 

as Power Equipment Operator, group 3, 9, or 11, during the seven-week period in question.

4. The Department of Energy contends, and Plaintiff does not concede, that the three 

individuals would be identifiable solely from their work classifications and group numbers as 

they appear on the certified payroll records.

5. Notwithstanding the above disagreement, in order to focus the issues and streamline 

the litigation, the parties hereby stipulate and agree that information regarding the three Power 

Equipment Operators, groups 3, 9, and 11, can be redacted from the certified payroll records at 

issue and will not be an issue to be determined in this litigation.
