| Request to waive the $1,500 late fee assessed against Saleem Baird for filing his 2020 lobbying registrations 47 days late. |

Mr. Baird states that he has not engaged in any lobbying activity in the State of Louisiana. He also states that he does not have any clients in the State of Louisiana, he has not made any lobbying expenditures in the state, and he has not engaged in lobbying activity or taken any lobbying action in the State of Louisiana.
