| Waiver request submitted by Henry G. Herford, Jr., Constable - Franklin Parish, District 1, regarding a $250 late fee assessed for filing his 2014 Tier 3 Annual PFD 5 days late. |

Mr. Herford states that he did timely file the disclosure statement; and, it should not be considered late because of the time it took the postal service to deliver it to our agency. A review of the envelope's postmark indicates that it was mailed on November 25, 2015., which is the date deemed filed by the staff. The pfd was not actually received until November 30, 2015. The due date for filing the disclosure statement was November 20, 2015; therefore, it was not mailed timely.
