RE:
Waiver request submitted by Noel Patrick Cassanova, Pilotage Fee Commission, regarding a $1500 late fee assessed for filing his 2021 Tier 2.1 annual pfd 478 days late.
Facts:
Larry E. McNutt is submitting a waiver on behalf of Noel Cassanova. There may have been a miscommunication with their office that prevented the disclosure from being properly submitted. Prior to filing, Mr. Cassanova was having issues submitting the disclosure via the LEAP website and received assurances from the Louisiana Pilot Fee Commission office that the form would be submitted on his behalf. They would like to humbly request a waiver of the assessed late fee.
