Waiver request submitted by John Douglas Wynn, Jr., Natchitoches Parish Communications District - 911, regarding a $350 late fee assessed for filing his amended 2018 Tier 2.1 annual pfd 7 days late. |
|
John D. Wynn, Jr. is requesting a waiver for the following reasons:
Mr. Wynn stated that he did not receive the NOD notifying him of the delinquency until after it was already past due. He stated the NOD was delivered next door, at his In-Laws house. He said normally any mail that is received at their home is given to him in a timely manner, but he did not receive this letter as he normally would. Mr. Wynn stated as soon as he was given the letter, he contacted the BOE and submitted the amendment. Mr. Wynn said the late filing was an oversight, as he does not receive any documentation from any entities or the State reminding him of the annual filing. However, he now knows to file his disclosure annually. He stated this will never happen again.
Mr. Wynn apologizes for the late filing and thanks the Ethics Board for their consideration on waiving his late fee assessment. This is Mr. Wynn's first late filing and late fee assessment.
