  (2) assign a unique arbitration number to each request;

  (3) complete and sign that portion of the comptroller's Request for Binding Arbitration form applicable to the appraisal district to certify, based on the examination of the documentation submitted, which of the requirements of §9.4252(f) of this title have been met for a valid request for binding arbitration; and
