| Waiver request submitted by Christopher J Tyson, former member of the Louisiana Highway Safety Commission, regarding a $1500 late fee assessed for filing his amended 2020 Tier 2.1 annual pfd 478 days late. |

Christopher J. Tyson acknowledges the necessity of filing the statements. He complied with the requirements and submitted his other statements on time. This oversight was due to his busy work commute, which has him spending more time out of state for work. Mr. Tyson served eight years as a Louisiana Highway Safety Commission volunteer member. As a working father of three, this is a steep penalty for filing his disclosure untimely. Mr. Tyson would like to thank you for your time and consideration of this request and make an appearance.
