RE:
Waiver request submitted by Stephen J. Osborn, a member of the Developmental Disabilities Council, regarding a $50 late fee assessed for filing his 2014 Tier 2.1 Annual PFD 1 day late.
Facts:
Mr. Osborn states that he was unable to timely file the disclosure statement because he was on his return trip home from his daughter's brain surgery. He stated that after returning from the surgery, he was preoccupied with acclimating to post surgery and doctors appointments. A request for supporting documentation has been sent to Mr. Osborn.
