(3) Specific, confidential project information for certain Mallet customers;

Then, counsel shall file the sealed confidential exhibits, using the ECF event: <Civil Events>, <Court Events>, <Other Events>, <Sealed Document>. (The foregoing provides a general description of recent modifications to the Court's sealing procedures, and is not intended to be limiting. Counsel may seek further guidance from the Clerk of Court, as necessary.) Otherwise, counsel shall comply with the provisions of this Court's ECF Ps & Ps. See web page --https://www.pawd.uscourts.gov/sites/pawd/files/FINALECFPoliciesProceduresFeb2022.p df.

Ultimate decision(s) regarding the length of the seal are, thus, reserved.
