RE:
Waiver request submitted by Daniel Wood regarding two $1,500 (total $3,000) late fees assessed for filing his amended 2009 and 2010 Tier 2.1 pfds 34 days late.
Facts:
Daniel Wood is a member of the Louisiana State Board of Physical Therapy Examiners. Mr. Wood was requested to amend his 2009 Tier 2.1 pfd because he had initially disclosed the state board as a source of income but failed to disclose the amount. He filed the amended report; however, in the waiver request, he states that the amount disclosed was the amount reimbursed for expenses. As such, reimbursement for expenses is not income and was not reportable.

In regards to the 2010 report, the report was filed completed except the wrong date was put as the calender year.
