| Waiver request submitted by Alan C. Arnold, New Orleans Board of Liquidation and Debt, regarding a $1,500 late fee assessed for failing to file his 2012 Tier 2.1 pfd 75 days late and a $250 late fee assessed for filing his 2013 Tier 2.1 Annual PFD 5 days late. |

Mr. Arnold argues that the penalty does not fit the crime. When he received the notice of delinquency in December, he thought he referred to the 2013 pfd. Mr. Arnold is correct, he did receive a notice of delinquency in December 2014 requesting the 2013 pfd, but he also received a letter requesting his 2012 pfd as well.
