RE:
Waiver request submitted by Brad Robin, Sr., a member of the Louisiana Oyster Task Force, regarding a $1,500 late fee assessed for filing his 2009 Tier 2.1 annual pfd 406 days late; a $1,500 late fee assessed for filing his 2010 Tier 2.1 annual pfd 406 days late; and $1,500 late fee assessed for filing his 2011 Tier 2.1 annual pfd 48 days late.
Facts:
Mr. Robin says that all notices sent to him were mailed to an address of the Oyster Task Force Office that was used prior to Katrina. He states that he did not receive the notices. It appears that the address used on the notices is not the address disclosed by Mr. Robin on his reports.
