Waiver request submitted by Phillip Wilson, a member of the Development Disabilities Council, regarding a $1,500 late fee assessed for filing his amended 2011 Tier 2.1 annual pfd 229 days late. |

Mr. Wilson received a nod for failure to disclose income from LSU Health Sciences Center and UNO on Schedule B. Mr. Wilson states that he received two letters requesting amendments, one for 2012 and one for 2011. However, he must have thought the letter for 2011 was a duplicate of the letter requesting the amendment for the 2012 and only responded to the 2012 letter.
