Applications may be obtained from the Loss Control Consultation Services
Certification Unit of the Division.
(b) The application (Form LCC-1; 10-94) shall
be lodged with the Loss Control Consultation Services Certification Unit and

accompanied by, or be supplemented with the following items:
(1) Names under which the applicant is
authorized to write workers' compensation insurance;
(2) Name and address of the insurer's
employee directly responsible for administering the insurer's loss control
consultation services;
(3) Proof of
authorization from the California Department of Insurance to write workers'
compensation insurance within the State of California;

suitability for certification consistent with the requirements of this
Article.

business days of receipt of an application for certification, the Division
shall inform the applicant in writing either that the application is either
complete and accepted for filing, or that the application is deficient and
requires supplementation with additional information or documentation.
(1) An application shall be deemed complete
if it is in compliance with the requirements of this section.
(2) A notice that the application is
deficient shall explain what specific information or documentation is required
to complete the application.
NOTE: If the volume of applications received
results in the Division's inability to process the insurer's start-up
application for certification in compliance within the 30-business-day period,
the Division may extend the period for up to 120 days. Where such an extension
is made by the Division, the insurer's period of provisional certification
shall be deemed extended by an equal amount of time pursuant to section
339.2(b).
(e) Within 30 business days of the date of
acceptance for filing of a completed application, the Division shall issue to
the applicant:

accompanied by a written explanation of the reasons for the
denial.
