RE:
Waiver request submitted by Brian Dean Kuehne, former member of the Audubon Area Security District, regarding a $350 late fee assessed for filing his 2020 Tier 2.1 annual pfd 7 days late.
Facts:
He is requesting a waiver because he did not receive the NOD until December 1, 2021. He had been out of town and returned to New Orleans on December 1, 2021. He called our office for clarification and immediately filed the required paperwork the same day. The NOD had been left in his mailbox. The Disclosure Division received the green card back and it was "Blank". Staff then requested a Proof of Signature from the Post Office and it was filled out by the Postal worker as it has COVID-19 on it.
