| Waiver request submitted by Robert L. Roussel, Port of South Louisiana Commission, regarding a $1,500 late fee assessed for filing his 2012 Annual 2.1 PFD 176 days late. |
|
|
Mr. Roussel stated that the initial Notice of Delinquency that he received on March 25, 2014 did not specify what year the disclosure statement was to cover. He therefore completed and filed a disclosure statement covering calendar year 2013. The NOD clearly states he needed to file a pfd covering calendar year 2012.
