  **第一項**  検察官は、第十八条第一項及び前条第一項の申出に係る電磁的記録が対象電磁的記録であるか否かを判断するため必要があると認めるときは、当該申出をした者に対し、期間を定めて、当該申出に係る電磁的記録が対象電磁的記録ではないことの裏付けとなる合理的な根拠を示す資料の提出を求めることができる。この場合において、当該申出をした者が当該資料を提出しないときは、第十八条第一項及び前条第一項の規定の適用については、当該申出に係る電磁的記録は対象電磁的記録とみなす。

  When a public prosecutor finds it necessary in order to determine whether an electronic or magnetic record relating to the application under Article 18, paragraph (1) and paragraph (1) of the preceding Article is a covered electronic or magnetic record, the public prosecutor may request the person who made the application to submit, within a time limit that the public prosecutor sets, materials showing reasonable grounds supporting that the electronic or magnetic record relating to the application is not a covered electronic or magnetic record. In this case, if the person who made the application does not submit the materials, the electronic or magnetic record relating to the application is deemed to be a covered electronic or magnetic record for the purpose of the application of Article 18, paragraph (1) and paragraph (1) of the preceding Article.
