RE:
Waiver request submitted by Donovan Archote, with the Orleans Parish Communications District, regarding a $250 late fee assessed for filing his amended 2016 Tier 2.1 annual PFD 5 days late.
Facts:
Mr. Archote stated that he unintentionally failed to disclose his state salary on Schedule E of his Tier 2.1 PFD form. He explained that he read "gaming interest" and thought the schedule did not apply to him. However, once made aware of what was required, he filed the amendment.
