(2) describe with precision and certainty the type or types of documents or objects to be produced, so that these may be easily identified;
(3) establish a definite date on which the request shall be answered, granting a reasonable period of time so that the documents and objects to be inspected, copied or reproduced may be produced, and
(4) designate the custodian who shall receive the requested material.
(c) The request shall not:
(1) Contain any request that would be unreasonable if it were requested through a subpoena duces tecum issued by a court; or
(2) request that evidence of a privileged nature be produced, or
(3) prevent a person from invoking his right of protection against self-incrimination, giving the Secretary of Justice the power to grant immunity in such case.
