Dennis H. Bjornberg II states that the delay was an unintentional oversight. His spouse mistakenly set aside the notice, and he was unaware of the deadline until after it passed. Once he realized the oversight, he immediately filed the report. Mr. Bjornberg understands the importance of compliance and deeply regrets this lapse. Measures have been taken to ensure it will not happen again. He appreciates your understanding and requests a waiver of the assessed late fee.
