2. supporting financial and other background information;

3. a statement certifying that the applicant meets the eligibility requirements or criteria as specified in R.S. 39:2176(A);

4. an affidavit signed, dated, and notarized attesting to the correctness of the information provided and to the authenticity of all supporting documentation or information provided; and

B. The SE (VI) Certification Program, through its designee or staff, shall review the application, and if it is found to be incomplete or if further information is needed (such as, for example, applicant's most recent financial statements, Federal and State tax returns, a copy of its most recently filed Louisiana Dept. of Labor (LDOL) ES-4 form, and any other appropriate supporting documentation or information as may be requested or required by the SE (VI) Certification Program, or its designee or staff), the SE (VI) Certification Program designee or staff will contact the applicant business and request such additional information. If the applicant does not respond with the further requested information within 15 days, the application will be denied. If the application is found to be sufficient, or if the application along with the additional information provided is found to be sufficient, a determination shall be made by the SE (VI) Certification Program, or its designee or staff, as to whether or not the applicant business will be certified.

C. The director, or his designee, shall notify the applicant in writing of the decision whether or not to grant such certification; and if certification is to be granted, a written certification as to such status in appropriate form, as determined by the director or his designee, shall be provided to the applicant business.
