(5) Information submitted by an authorized taxpayer under this section will be classified as protected information defined in Utah Code Section 63G-2-305 if the authorized taxpayer provides OED with a written claim of confidentiality and a concise statement supporting the claim in accordance with consistent with Utah Code Section 63G-2-309(1)(a)(i). The written claim of confidentiality will be included in the Request for Production Tax Credit Certification form referenced in this Rule.
