Protective treatment

Based on D.P.U. 19-07-A certain information is kept confidential:

  • (1) the municipality information and (2) the door-to-door marketing vendor contact information tabs in the spreadsheet are granted protective treatment pursuant to D.P.U. 19-07-A under the standing order for protective treatment
  • the competitive supplier contact information tab in the spreadsheet is not granted protective treatment.

Applicants do not need to submit a motion for protective treatment and must only provide a confidential version of the document.

Municipalities and neighborhoods

For each day, you may identify up to 5 municipalities where the competitive supplier intends to market door-to-door to residential customers.  In the City of Boston, you must identify a specific neighborhood where you plan on door-to-door marketing.  This neighborhood will count towards one of the 5 municipality limit allowed in the notice.
