In order to protect the site or protected site from unlawful excavation or harm, any information in the possession of the Maine Historic Preservation Commission, the State Museum, the Bureau of Parks and Lands, other state agencies or the University of Maine System about the location or other attributes of any site or protected site may be designated by the Maine Historic Preservation Commission or State Museum as confidential and exempt from Title 1, chapter 13 .
