RE:
Waiver request submitted by Beatrice Carter, East Carroll Parish Clerk of Court, regarding a $2,500 late fee assessed for filing her amended 2010 Tier 2 annual pfd 186 days late.
Facts:
Ms. Carter does not recall receiving the certified mail. The notice of delinquency requested she disclose her spouses' income by exact dollar figure. The income was timey disclosed, just disclosed on the wrong schedule. On the amendment, Ms. Carter properly disclosed all income on the correct schedule.

The Board has consistently waived late fees in this type of situation when there has been no other late filings.
