| Reconsideration of the Board's denial of a waiver request submitted by Millie Atkins, Commerce and Industry Board, regarding a $400 late fee assessed for filing her 2013 Tier 2.1 Annual PFD Report 8 days late. |
|
No new information was submitted.
Original Information:
Ms. Atkins states that she believed she had timely filed the disclosure statement for calendar year 2013; however, it was not until she spoke with an agency employee did she learn that the disclosure statement that was previously filed was for a prior year.
Ms. Atkins failed to file her 2012 Tier 2.1 pfd by May 15, 2013. In early 2014, she was personally served with a notice of delinquency requesting her 2012 Tier 2.1 pfd. She called the office and spoke with staff who explained she did not file a 2012 Tier 2.1 pfd and she was also reminded that she needed to file a 2013 Tier 2.1 pfd by May 15, 2014. On March 10, 2014, the 2012 Tier 2.1 pfd was filed; however, Ms. Atkins did not file a 2013 pfd.
