Untimely waiver request submitted by Richie L. Fraychineaud, former member of the Commission for the Deaf, regarding a $1500 late fee assessed for filing his 2019 Tier 2.1 annual pfd 1289 days late and a $1500 late fee assessed for filing his 2020 Tier 2.1 annual pfd 1022 days late. |

The Louisiana Commission for the Deaf (LCD) appointed Richie L. Fraychineaud on 8/15/2019. He resigned on 2/13/2020. Mr. Fraychineaud was extremely busy with other jobs and family issues and didn't attend the meetings, events, or activities. After resigning, he believed he was not required to file. He messaged the LCD director, Jana Broussard, after receiving the notices in 2022 and assumed the matter would be handled. Also, no records indicate that the previous director notified him that he needed to file. Mr. Fraychineaud later received notices from the AG's office on 10/23/2024 and sought help filing the disclosures.
