| Waiver request submitted by Thomas L. Arnold, Jr., a member of the Mineral and Energy Board, regarding a $50 late fee assessed for filing his 2014 Tier 2.1 annual PFD 1 day late. |

Mr. Arnold states that he had a meeting in the LaSalle Building on August 12, 2015, and for that reason did not mail the disclosure statement - but hand-delivered it on the day he came to Baton Rouge for the meeting. As a result the disclosure statement was filed one day late.
