(b) The applicant shall certify in the application form that it has contacted the Department of Economic Development for information identifying businesses in New York that are or may be eligible for qualified investments based upon the likelihood that such business or industry will qualify as a qualified business and for which the State of New York may have significant location or structural advantages.

In the case of incomplete applications, such applications shall be treated as received on the date of the department's receipt of the complete application.
