R657-64-6. Trap and Hunting Locations

  (1) Program participants and contract vendors are required to provide GPS data documenting the precise location where each coyote is taken.

  (2) To the extent GPS data discloses the location of trap lines or hunting areas, and public disclosure of that data exposes the traps to the possibility of theft and damage or the hunting area to exploitation by others, the data may be classified as "protected" under Section 63G-2-305(2) and restricted from public disclosure pursuant to Title 63G, Chapter 2, Government Records Access and Management Act, provided the requirements of Subsection (3) are satisfied.

  (3) Any person desiring to protect GPS data from public disclosure that locates trap lines or hunting areas must submit to the division a written claim of confidentiality explaining:

  (a) the financial and commercial harm reasonably expected to occur if the data is subject to public disclosure; and

  (b) why the person submitting the data has a greater interest in prohibiting access than the public in obtaining access.
