What You Should Know About This Form

What is the SH 430 form used for?

The SH 430 form is an application for an asbestos handling license in New York State. Companies that plan to perform asbestos-related work must fill out this form to obtain the necessary permissions and ensure compliance with state regulations. Two types of licenses can be requested: an original license for new applicants and a renewal license for companies that already hold a license.

What does it cost to submit the SH 430 form?

For companies applying for an original license, the fee is $500. If you’re renewing an existing license, the fee reduces to $300. This fee must be submitted along with the completed application form in the form of a check or money order made out to the Commissioner of Labor.

Who needs to complete item 10 about affiliate organizations?

If your company is affiliated with another organization, you must complete item 10 on the SH 430 form. Affiliates are organizations that have a common ownership or control relationship with your company. Listing these connections is crucial for transparency and compliance with state regulations.

Is it necessary to provide Social Security numbers on the SH 430 form?

Yes, the form requires you to provide Social Security numbers for the duly authorized representative and others listed in sections related to ownership and management. This information helps the state verify the identities and backgrounds of individuals involved in managing the licensed activities.

What types of asbestos work can be checked in item 12?

Item 12 gives you options to specify the type of asbestos work your company will conduct. You can check one or more options, including abatement, management planning, project design, monitoring, inspection, or air monitoring. Make sure to choose the options that accurately reflect your planned activities to avoid compliance issues.

What happens if the application is disapproved?

If your application is disapproved, you will receive a notification detailing the reasons for the disapproval. Understanding these reasons can help you make the necessary adjustments to your application. Reapplying may be possible after addressing the issues that led to the disapproval.

How should I submit the completed SH 430 form?

You must submit the completed SH 430 form as follows: send an original copy to the New York State Department of Labor's License and Certification Unit at the specified address in Albany, NY. Keep a copy for your records, along with all required documents, such as proof of insurance and any supervisory certificates.

What if my company operates as a government entity?

If your organization is a government entity or a subdivision of NYS, you can skip certain sections of the SH 430 form related to business affiliations and child support obligations. However, you still need to meet other licensing and insurance requirements outlined in the form.

Common mistakes

Completing the SH 430 form can be a straightforward process if approached with care and attention to detail. However, many people make common mistakes that could lead to delays or even application disapproval. One prevalent error is failing to use the exact company name as registered with the New York State Department of State. Any variation, even a small one, can result in complications that may hinder the licensing process.

Another frequent mistake involves incorrectly entering the Federal Employment Identification Number (FEIN). This number is crucial for processing the application, and any discrepancies could cause significant delays. It is equally important to provide the correct New York State Unemployment Insurance Employer Registration Number. If you select the “Government” box, remember to skip the subsequent items specified in the form; otherwise, it may lead to wasted time and confusion.

Many applicants neglect to list all necessary owners, partners, and shareholders who own five percent or more of the company. This information is mandatory and should be accurately filled out, as not doing so can create further issues. In addition, the area for owners, partners, and shareholders who own ten percent or more of any affiliates is often overlooked. Complete this section diligently to ensure compliance with licensing requirements.

The types of asbestos work are another area prone to mistakes. When checking items related to asbestos work types, it’s essential to understand what category fits your operations best. Mis-marking this section may lead to relevant questions being unanswered, complicating the review process. If “Abatement” is marked, the form requires additional information in Question 13, which must not be ignored.

Failure to sign the application is a surprisingly common error. The applicant statement must include the signature of the contractor or an authorized representative. Omitting this essential step can result in the immediate rejection of the application. Equally, the signature needs to be original; no cosigns or stamps are acceptable.

Lastly, applicants frequently overlook the submission of required documents. This can include proof of disability insurance coverage or workers' compensation insurance as specified on the form. Missing documentation will halt the processing and could jeopardize your application timeline. Prior to submission, ensure that everything is in order by cross-checking the form against the requirements outlined in the application guidelines.

Documents used along the form

When applying for an Asbestos Handling License using the SH 430 form, you may encounter several other forms and documents that are essential for a smooth application process. Below is a list of these commonly used forms, along with a brief description of each. Having these documents ready can help ensure timely processing of your application.

  • DB-120.1 Certificate of Disability Insurance: A document that proves a business has disability insurance coverage for its employees, which is mandatory for certain employers in New York State.
  • DB-155 Certificate of Disability Self Insurance: Used by employers who wish to self-insure their disability insurance responsibilities. This certificate demonstrates compliance with state regulations.
  • CE-200 Certificate of Attestation of Exemption: This form indicates that a business is exempt from disability insurance coverage. It is necessary for employers without employees or those who do not hire in New York State.
  • C-105.2 Certificate of Workers’ Compensation Insurance: This is proof of workers’ compensation coverage, required for all businesses employing workers in New York State, ensuring they are insured against workplace injuries.
  • U-26.3 State Insurance Fund’s version of C-105.2: Similar to C-105.2, this form is another version of the certificate verifying that a business has workers' compensation insurance through the State Insurance Fund.
  • SI-12 Certificate of Workers’ Compensation Self-Insurance: Employers who choose to self-insure their workers' compensation insurance must utilize this certificate to demonstrate their compliance.
  • GSI-12 Certificate of Group Workers’ Compensation Self-Insurance: This document is used by employers who participate in a group self-insurance arrangement to cover workers' compensation liabilities.
  • GSI-105.2 Certificate of Participation in Workers’ Compensation Group Self-Insurance: A specific certificate providing proof of participation in a group self-insurance program for workers’ compensation.
  • GO 1 Certificate of Child Support Obligations: This form is required for certain applicants, particularly individuals, to certify their compliance with child support obligations as part of the license application process.
  • Form NYS-45 Quarterly Payroll Report: Employers are required to submit this form to report wages paid to employees and ensure compliance with unemployment insurance requirements in New York State.

These forms and documents play a crucial role in the application process for an Asbestos Handling License. Preparing them in advance can help streamline your experience and lead to a quicker review by the relevant authorities. Always ensure that you have the most up-to-date versions of these forms, as regulations may change over time.

Similar forms

  • Business License Application: This document is used by businesses to apply for a license to operate legally within a specific jurisdiction. Like the Sh 430 form, it collects essential information about the business, its owners, and the nature of its operations.

  • Workers' Compensation Insurance Application: Similar to the Sh 430 form, this application requires businesses to provide details about their employees and insurance coverage. Both documents aim to ensure compliance with state regulations for safety and labor.

  • Certificate of Authority Application: This document is filed by businesses seeking to operate as a foreign entity in another state. It parallels the Sh 430 by requiring business structure details, owner information, and official addresses.

  • Environmental License Application: Used by companies engaging in activities affecting the environment, this application gathers similar details regarding business ownership and previous compliance history. Both forms are vital for ensuring regulatory adherence.

  • Asbestos Abatement Notification Form: Like the Sh 430, this form is specifically focused on asbestos-related work. It requires detailed information about the contractors and their qualifications, ensuring that all personnel involved meet required safety standards.

Dos and Don'ts

When filling out the SH 430 form, it’s crucial to be careful and thorough. Here is a guide to help you navigate the process effectively.

  • Do read the form instructions carefully to ensure you understand what is required in each section.
  • Do provide accurate information. Double-check names, addresses, and identification numbers before submission.
  • Do ensure that all required signatures are affixed. Missing signatures can result in delays or denials.
  • Do retain a copy of the completed form for your records. This can be valuable for future reference.
  • Don’t leave any sections blank. If a question does not apply, clearly indicate that it does not apply.
  • Don’t use correction fluid or any other methods to alter the form. If a mistake is made, cross it out neatly and initial the change.

By adhering to these guidelines, you can enhance the chances of a smooth application process. Take the time to ensure everything is correct, and you will have peace of mind as you submit the form.

Misconceptions

  • Misconception 1: The SH 430 form is only for new applicants.

    This form is actually used for both original license applications and renewals. Companies can renew their asbestos handling license by completing this form and paying the appropriate fee.

  • Misconception 2: There are no fees associated with the SH 430 form.

    There are fees involved: a $500 fee for original applications and a $300 fee for renewals. It is crucial to include the correct fee when submitting the form.

  • Misconception 3: Completing the form guarantees license approval.

    Submission of the SH 430 form does not ensure approval. Applications are reviewed, and disapproval can occur if requirements are not met.
