The waiver request for the 2010 late fee was due by May 21, 2013 and was not received until May 7, 2014 after a petition for collection was filed. No reasons were given as to the late filing of the waiver request.
Mr. Richard states that he filed the 2010 pfd late because he was new in office and did not realize he was required to file.
