§   7210.  Certificates  of  authorization.  1.  Domestic  or  foreign
  professional   service   corporations,   design   professional   service
  corporations,  professional service limited liability companies, foreign
  professional service limited  liability  companies,  registered  limited
  liability  partnerships,  New  York registered foreign limited liability
  partnerships,  partnerships   and   joint   enterprises   specified   in
  subdivision  four  of  section seventy-two hundred nine of this article,
  provided each  of  the  foregoing  entities  is  authorized  to  provide
  professional   engineering,   land  surveying  or  professional  geology
  services  and  general  business  corporations  authorized  to   provide
  professional   engineering   or  land  surveying  services  pursuant  to
  subdivision six of section seventy-two hundred nine of this article  may
  offer  to provide or provide professional engineering, land surveying or
  professional geology services only  after  obtaining  a  certificate  of
  authorization  from  the  department.  Except as otherwise authorized by
  statute, rule or regulation, other business entities are not  authorized
  to   offer  or  provide  professional  engineering,  land  surveying  or
  professional  geology  services  and  may  not  obtain  certificates  of
  authorization  provided  that nothing contained herein shall prohibit an
  individual who is licensed to practice  professional  engineering,  land
  surveying  or  professional  geology under this article from obtaining a
  certificate  of  authorization  upon  application  and  payment  of  the
  appropriate fees provided for under this section.
2.  Upon application a certificate of authorization shall be issued by
  the department  to  all  individuals,  corporations,  limited  liability
  companies,   limited  liability  partnerships,  partnerships  and  joint
  enterprises specified in subdivision one of this section and  which  are
  authorized   to  provide  professional  engineering  or  land  surveying
  services and pay the appropriate fee.
3. A "certificate of authorization" shall authorize  such  individual,
  corporation,  limited  liability company, limited liability partnership,
  partnership or joint enterprise to provide professional  engineering  or
  land  surveying  services  for  three  years  from  the date of issuance
  subject to, as otherwise prescribed  by  law,  the  supervision  of  the
  regents  of  the university of the state of New York including the power
  to discipline and impose penalties in the same manner and  to  the  same
  extent as is provided with respect to individuals and their licenses and
  registration pursuant to this title.
4.  An  application,  triennial  renewal,  delinquent  or  replacement
  certificate  fee  must  accompany  the  "certificate  of  authorization"
  request in the amount shown below. A business entity that fails to renew
  its  certificate  of  authorization  before the expiration date shall be
  required to pay the additional delinquent fee for  late  filing  of  ten
  dollars for each full month it has practiced after the expiration of its
  certificate of authorization.
Application fee and first triennial certificate of authorization -
$125.00;
Triennial renewal fee - $75.00;
Delinquent fee - $10.00 per month of practice without a certificate of
authorization;
Replacement certificate fee - $10.00.
All checks shall be made payable to the state department of education,
  state  of  New  York  and  submitted  to  the  department. If a business
  enterprise is not eligible to receive a "certificate of  authorization",
  the  fee  will  be  retained to cover the costs of processing. Triennial
  renewal fees for all "certificates of authorization" are due and payable
  on or before the filing date of each triennial registration period.
5. The department shall compile a  registry  of  the  holders  of  all
  certificates  of authorization. Such registry shall include the name and
  address of all registrants, state whether a certificate of authorization
  has been issued, denied, suspended, or revoked, and disclose whether the
  certificate  is current or expired. Access to the registry shall be made
  available electronically without cost. A record search of  the  registry
  may  be obtained in person or by mail provided that a fee of ten dollars
  shall be paid for each putative registrant.
