Patricia Pourciau is requesting a waiver for the late filing of her 2017 PFD Amendment.

Regarding her fee assessment, she stated she responded to the BOE within the 7 business days of a receiving her NOD to Amend her Schedule E form and submitted her amended report. She also provided a timeline and stated that her timeline (submitted with supporting documents) displays "how arbitrary, capricious, and ridiculous "that she "MUST reply within 7 days, or 10 days, or 20 days depending on the department and the BOE can take up to 390 days to send the FIRST notice of an omission from an April 28, 2018 filing".
* Ms. Pourciau was requested to amend both the 2017 and 2018 reports. She only filed the 2018 report timely.
