Is the managing member of an LLC responsible for tax penalties assessed directly to the LLC?

I am the managing member of a two-member LLC filing on a 1065. I received a notice under the LLC name of late filing for a previous year's tax return along with a failure-to-file penalty.

At this time, it doesn't appear that the penalties have been transferred to my personal tax liability.

Am I personally responsible for penalties imposed on the LLC? If so, should I try to reduce them through OIC, FTA or reasonable cause?
