RE:
Request to waive the $400 late fee assessed against Cherie Teamer for the late filing of the November 2022 Lobbying Expenditure Report.
Facts:
Ms. Teamer states that she believed her report was filed timely, but she failed to press the confirmation button to finalize her report. She states she had no lobbying activity to report. In addition, she states she was away from her email because she was the primary caregiver to her one year old son during the holidays and did not see the subsequent notice of her failure to file.

According to the agency's IT records, Ms. Teamer did not log into the system between November 30, 2022 and January 3, 2023.
