Request that the Board reconsider its decision to decline to waive a $550 late fee submitted by John B. "Trey" Harris, Louisiana Strawberry Marketing Board, for filing his 2022 Tier 2.1 annual pfd 11 days late. |
|
No new information was submitted.
Initial Request:
John B. Harris submitted his report late because he did not receive email reminders to file. He followed up, and they now have reminder emails. Mr. Harris was also in the process of moving his home and office during the peak seasons for his two businesses, selling strawberries and crawfish. He apologizes for any inconvenience, appreciates your attention to this matter and requests a late fee waiver.
