MOTION OF JETBLUE AIRWAYS CORPORATION

FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT

, p ursuant to Rule 12 of the

information contained in Schedule B

this request, JetBlue states as follows:

Under t he F reedom of Information Act, 1 privileged and/ or confidential commercial and

financial information obtained fro m a private person is exempted from public disclosure

requirements due to its sensitive business nature. See Gulf & Western Industries, Inc. v. United

1 5 U.S.C. § 552(b)(4).States , 615 F.2d 527, 529 (D.C. Cir. 1979). The information for which JetBlue , a private party,

requests confidential treatment is confidential and proprietary commer cial and financial

information and its release would c ause substantial competitive and financial harm to JetBlue.

The information should therefore be withheld from disclosure to the general public

.

The specific information at issue in this request is cost or capitalized value and

amortization/depreciation da ta relating to JetBlue's airframes and aircraft engines as of March

31

, 2015 . This informat ion is contained in columns 9

informa tion with all fields completed, including cost data , via the Department’s eSubmit system

The Department has previously determined that the confidential and competitively

sensitive data contained in the B

relies on this prior determination here

.

WHEREFORE, JetBlue Airways Corporation respectfully requests that the confidential

information contained in Schedule B
