RE:
Waiver request submitted by Robert W. Nuzum, a member of the Warren Easton Charter High School Board, regarding a $150 late fee for filing his 2011 Tier 3 annual pfd 3 days late.
Facts:
Mr. Nuzum states that he did not timely file his report because he was a volunteer on the Board and did not know he should have filed. He says he resigned in January of 2012. He moved to Texas in September of 2012. His address on the notice of delinquency states his address as apartment 814; he actual apartment number was 316. This mistake delayed him in receiving the notice. He has since notified the staff of a new address and it has been updated in the database.
