RE:
Waiver request submitted by Robert Louis Eastin, Jr., Acadiana Human Services District, regarding a $1,500 late fee assessed for filing his 2014 Tier 2.1 annual PFD 215 days late.
Facts:
Mr. Eastin states that he believes he did fax a copy of his PFD to our agency in a timely manner; however, the fax machine that he used did not provide him with a confirmation sheet to show the transmission was successful. Additionally, Mr. Eastin states that he serves on the board with no compensation.

Correspondence was sent to Mr. Eastin on July 29, 2016 requesting that he submit information related to his fax attempt. No response received.
