RE:
Waiver request submitted by Ray Mills, former member of the North Webster Parish Industrial District Board, regarding a $700 late fee assessed for filing his 2011 Tier 2.1 annual pfd 14 days late.
Facts:
Mr. Mills does not know why he did not file the pfd timely. He thinks there may have been some confusion between him and the staff of the board, the secretary usually mails the pfds for the board members. Mr. Mills resigned from the board in December 2012 (the report was due by May 15, 2012).

Mr. Mills signed for the notice of delinquency on May 13, 2013 and no reasons were given as to why the report was not filed within 7 business days.
