2. Each applicant for a surface coal mining and reclamation permit shall file a copy of the

3. Upon request by the permit applicant, the commission, in its discretion, may designate
specific information included in the plans required by subdivisions c and d of
subsection 1 as exempt from disclosure under section 44-04-18, provided such
specific information pertains only to the analysis of the chemical and physical
properties of the coal or commercial leonardite (excepting information regarding such

period not to exceed ten years subsequent to the date on which the request for
nondisclosure was filed, unless it is demonstrated by the permit applicant that such
period should be further extended in order to prevent possible resulting harm to the
permit applicant, or the applicant's successors and assigns.
