[[Page 110]]
``(2) Increase in penalty where failure continues after
notification.--If <> any failure described
in paragraph (1) continues for more than 90 days after the day

``(g) Reasonable Cause Exception.--No penalty shall be imposed by
this section on any failure which is shown to be due to reasonable cause
