         Paragraph 8 to read:
         8.      Pegasus‘ Contract contained a number of Attachments and Exhibits" The majorty of
         these documents are the epitome ofinformation that that is losely held and customarily guarded
         from competitors, .eproprictary technicalinformation., For example, Exhibit B contains the
         satelite specifiation," Exhibit C contains thetest plan," and Exhibit D contains the qualty
         assurance plan."" Each of hese documents contains information thatis customarily closely held
         by satelite manufacturersand would be appropritely withheld from the public ile in their
         entirety. Exhibit F, etitled "Payment Plan and Termination Linbilty Amounts, August9, 2002,"
         should not have been withheld from the public fili ts entirey.
         Paragraph 9 to read:
        9.       Pegasus‘ failure to submit a redacted version ofthe one page document entile, "Exhibit
        PR Payment Plan and Termination Linbility Amounts, August 9, 2002, Fist Satellte and Satellite
        Operations Equipment" stains th limits ofthe confidentialty protection, The payment schedule
        is a one—page document containing only 21 events (such as "Launch® or *CDR" short for criical
        design review, and "DELIVERY ON ORBIT*). As such, it appears to be a generic document
        containing well—known and obvious events in the construction ofa satelite. Thus, we do notfind
        the exhibititselfto be per se conidentil in ts entiety. The monetary amountsattached to the
        progress payments,termination ability, or both, however, would be considered contidential
        information. Accordingly, withrespect o Exhibit E, we find that the information contained in the
        columns with the following headings is not confidentia: (1) Payment Number;(2) Month
        Number; (3) Nominal Invoice Month (4) Payment Due; (5) Milestone Event;and (6) Completion
        Criteria. We do, however,find the information contained in the following columns to be
        confidentiaand protected from disclosure:(1) Payment ; (2)1" Satelite; (3)Sat. Oper. Equip;
        (4) Payment Amount; (5) Cum. Paymment; and (6) Cum. Term. Linbility.
        Paragraph 10 will be delted with subsequent paragraphs renumbered.
        New Paragraph 10 to read:
        10. We,therefore, conclude that, other thanthe materil that we have just outlined in Exhibit
        F (columns 1—5),the information subjectt the request for confidentiaity fall squarely under
        Exemption 4 to the FOIA rules and meets the requirementsof Section 0.459° and may be
        withheld from public disclosure.
