Information on existing facilities and equipment of telecommunications right-of-way users need only be supplied in the form maintained by the telecommunications right-of-way user. (E) Trade secret information. At the request of any registrant, any information requested by the city, which qualifies as a “trade secret” under M.S. § 13.37(b), as it may be amended from time to time, shall be treated as trade secret information as detailed therein.
