Ordering paragraph 3 of the December 18, 2019 Order is stricken and replaced with the following: Atmos shall, within ten days after filing their 10-Q or 10-K filing with the SEC, Atmos shall file the information with the Commission, including information regarding the issuance of the securities referenced herein, a statement setting forth the date or dates of issuance, the price paid, the interest rate if any, the purchasers, and all fees and expenses, including underwriting discounts or commission or other compensation, involved in the issuance. In addition, if debt securities were issued, Atmos shall include an explanation as to how the selected interest rate alternative represents the most reasonable interest rate available at the time of issuance, and copies of any executed interest rate management agreements. 4. All other provisions of December 18, 2019 Order not in conflict with this Order remain in full force and effect. 5. This case is now closed and removed from the Commission’s Docket.

Order Entered: 1. Atmos's motion for confidential protection for interest rate management agreements is granted. 2. The designated information shall not be placed in the public record or made available for public inspection for an indefinite period or until further Order of this Commission. 3. Use of the material in question in any Commission proceeding shall be in compliance with 807 KAR 5:001, Section 13(9). 4. Atmos shall inform the Commission if the material in question becomes publicly available or no longer qualifies for confidential treatment. 5. If a nonparty to this proceeding requests to inspect the material granted confidential treatment by this Order and the period during which the material has been granted confidential treatment has not expired, Atmos shall have 30 days from receipt of written notice of the request to demonstrate that the material still falls within the exclusions from disclosure requirements established in KRS 61.878. If Atmos is unable to make such demonstration, the requested material shall be made available for inspection. Otherwise, the Commission shall deny the request for inspection. 6. The Commission shall not make the requested material available for inspection for 30 days from the date of service of an Order finding that the material no longer qualifies for confidential treatment in order to allow Atmos to seek a remedy afforded by law.
