   Section  1. Subdivision 5 of section 89 of the public officers law, as
 added by chapter 890 of the laws of 1981, paragraph (a)  as  amended  by
 chapter 403 of the laws of 2003, paragraph (d) as amended by chapter 339
 of the laws of 2004, is amended to read as follows:
   5.  (a)  (1) A person acting pursuant to law or regulation who, subse-
 quent to the effective date of this subdivision, submits any information
 to any state agency may, at the time of  submission,  request  that  the
 agency  except  such  information from disclosure under paragraph (d) of
 subdivision two of section  eighty-seven  of  this  article.  Where  the
 request  itself contains information which if disclosed would defeat the
 purpose for which the exception is sought, such information  shall  also
 be excepted from disclosure.
   (1-a)  A person or entity who submits or otherwise makes available any
 records to any agency, may, at  any  time,  identify  those  records  or
 portions  thereof  that may contain critical infrastructure information,
 and request that the agency that  maintains  such  records  except  such
 information from disclosure under subdivision two of section eighty-sev-
 en  of this article. Where the request itself contains information which
 if disclosed would defeat the purpose for which the exception is sought,
 such information shall also be excepted from disclosure.
