| Untimely waiver request submitted by Michael L. Gore, Louisiana Municipal Gas Association, regarding a $1400 late fee assessed for filing his 2022 Tier 2.1 annual pfd 28 days late. |

Michael L. Gore states that his office manager usually submits the disclosures via fax with their nine Board of Commissioners. For some reason, Mr. Gore's disclosure was omitted by accident. The office manager spoke with a BOE representative in January and submitted the disclosure. Mr. Gore did not understand the waiver process and believed everything was handled. He realized there was an issue when he received the LFO. This is his first time receiving a late fee. Mr. Gore is an alternate for the Louisiana Municipal Gas Association and has never attended a meeting; the operations manager does. He ensures this will never happen again and would like to request a waiver of the late fee.
