(3) Requests that special provisions or terms and conditions not provided by these rules be included in a protective order will not be routinely granted, but may be granted for good cause. Requests for special provisions or terms and conditions must include proposed language and a concise statement of the reasons for the request.

(4) These rules do not apply to all information in the possession of the commission which may be lawfully withheld from public disclosure.
