| Waiver request submitted by Jean Montes, former member of the Lycee' Francais de la Nouvelle Orleans Charter School, regarding a $1,500 late fee assessed for filing his 2013 Tier 3 annual PFD 404 days late. |
|
Mr. Montes states that because his service ended in 2013, he did not have to file a disclosure statement. However, this is incorrect as filers are required to file the year following the termination of their service. He states he continued to receive notices from our agency which prompted him to contact our agency to determine if he was required to file the disclosure statement.
Mr. Montes apologizes for his misunderstanding and requests that the late fee be waived.
