Waiver request submitted by Rene Cross, a member of the Louisiana Recovery Authority, regarding a $1,500 late fee assessed for filing her 2009 Tier 2.1 annual pfd 459 days late. |
|
Mr. Cross was not aware of the requirement to file. The LRA was dismantled in May 2010, the same month the 2009 pfd report was due to be filed. Mr. Cross did not receive the notice of delinquency until April 2011 and did not think it applied because the board had already been dismantled.
