ORDER ON RESPONDENT’S SECOND 

MOTION FOR IN CAMERA TREATMENT 

By Order issued March 1, 2023, the motion for in camera treatment filed by Respondent 

Intuit, Inc. (“Respondent”) on February 10, 2023 was granted in part and denied in part without 

prejudice (“March 1 Order”). After setting forth the standards by which motions for in camera 

treatment are evaluated, the March 1 Order determined that many of the documents for which 

Respondent sought in camera treatment do not meet the standards for in camera treatment and 

that Respondent’s designations of vast portions of transcripts from investigational hearings and 

depositions were overbroad and included testimony that does not meet the criteria for in camera 

treatment. The March 1 Order directed Respondent to thoroughly review all documents for 

which it seeks in camera treatment and to narrow its requests to only those documents that 

comply with the Commission’s strict standards for in camera treatment. 

Respondent filed a Second Motion for In Camera Treatment on March 15, 2023. 

Respondent states that it has undertaken a comprehensive re-review of the 316 exhibits that were 

not previously granted in camera status and, based on that assessment, has withdrawn its request 

for in camera treatment for 153 of 316 documents included in the prior motion. Respondent also 

states that, based on its re-review, it now proposes tailored redactions for certain documents that 

it previously sought to be withheld in full. In addition to the documents included in Respondent’s 

first motion for in camera treatment, Respondent seeks in camera treatment for 44 of the 459 

documents that have been designated by the parties as exhibits since its previous motion. 

Upon review of the motion, declaration, and exhibits, Respondent has met the standards 

required for in camera treatment. Therefore, Respondent’s Second Motion for In Camera 

Treatment is GRANTED. In camera treatment is granted to the hearing exhibits identified in 

Attachment A to Respondent’s Second Motion for In Camera Treatment to the extent and for the 

durations indicated in that exhibit. For exhibits where Respondent has sought in camera 

treatment for a period of five years, the expiration date is April 1, 2028. For exhibits where 

Respondent has sought in camera treatment for a period of ten years, the expiration date is April 

1, 2033.
