| Waiver request submitted by Lance Michael Nacio, member of the Shrimp Task Force, regarding a $550 late fee assessed for filing his 2014 Tier 2.1 Annual PFD 11 days late. |

Mr. Nacio states that in the past, an employee for the task force reminded and helped the members file their disclosure statements; however, that person left. He further states that running his small business is time consuming and he simply overlooked the deadline to file. He states that if he has to pay the late fee, he will have to consider getting off the board.
