What does "Affix Asbestos Notification Decal Here" on the paper copy of the ANF-001 form mean?

The upper right corner of the paper copy ANF-001 has a box containing the words "Affix Asbestos Notification Decal Here." Prior to submitting a paper copy ANF-001, a decal (sticker) must be obtained from MassDEP and attached to the ANF-001. The decal contains a unique number that is used to track the notification. Paper forms without decals cannot be accepted. Decals are not needed for online ANF-001 submittals.

If the project is subject to the notification fee, the decal will cost $85. If the project is exempt from the notification fee, an "Exempt" decal that MassDEP will provide free of charge can be used. Projects are exempt from the fee if they are for owner-occupied residential properties with four or fewer units, cities, towns, counties, districts of the Commonwealth, municipal housing authorities and other state agencies.

Decals can be obtained by going to the reception desk on the second floor of MassDEP’s Boston Office at One Winter Street, Boston. For decals requiring payment, payment must be made in the form of a check or money order made payable to "Commonwealth of Massachusetts." Cash cannot be accepted. See the instructions that come with the ANF-001 for more information about decals. For online ANF-001 submittals, a credit card must be used to pay the fee online.
