DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
 

Issuance of Decisions and Orders; Week of February 14 Through 
February 18, 1994

    During the week of February 14 through February 18, 1994, the 
decisions and orders summarized below were issued with respect to 
applications for exception or other relief filed with the Office of 
Hearings and Appeals of the Department of Energy. The following summary 
also contains a list of submissions that were dismissed by the Office 
of Hearings and Appeals.

Request for Exception

C. Parker Oil Co., Inc., 2/18/94, LEE-0042

    C. Parker Oil Co., Inc., (Parker) filed an Application for 
Exception from the provision of filing Form EIA-782B, entitled 
``Reseller/Retailer's Monthly Petroleum Product Sales Report.'' The 
exception request, if granted, would permit Parker to be exempted from 
filing Form EIA-782B. The Department issued a Decision and Order which 
determined that the exception request be denied since the firm had not 
shown that it was experiencing a serious hardship, gross inequity, or 
unfair distribution of burdens.

Refund Applications

Stepan Company, 2/18/94, RF272-16338, RD272-16338

    The DOE issued a Decision and Order concerning an Application for 
Refund filed on behalf of Stepan Company in the crude oil special 
refund proceeding being administered by the DOE under 10 CFR part 205, 
Subpart V. The DOE determined that the refund claim was meritorious and 
granted a refund of $57,222. The DOE also denied a Motion for Discovery 
filed by a consortium of States and two Territories and rejected their 
challenge to the claim. The DOE denied the States' Objections, finding 
that the industry-wide econometric data submitted by the States did not 
rebut the presumption that the Applicant was injured by the crude oil 
overcharges. In granting the Application, the DOE determined that mixed 
xylene and ortho-xylene were essentially xylene, a product eligible for 
a refund in the crude oil proceeding.

Westinghouse Electric Corporation-Technology & Quality Center, 
Westinghouse Electric Corporation, 2/18/94, RF272-16739, RD272-16739, 
RD272-93803

    The DOE issued a Decision and Order concerning two Applications for 
Refund filed on behalf of Westinghouse Electric Corporation-Technology 
& Quality Center and Westinghouse Electric Corporation in the crude oil 
special refund proceeding being administered by the DOE under 10 C.F.R. 
Part 205, Subpart V. The DOE determined that the refund claim was 
meritorious and granted a refund of $31,990. The DOE also denied a 
Motion for Discovery filed by a consortium of States and two 
Territories and rejected their challenge to the claim. The DOE denied 
the States' Objections, finding that the industry-wide econometric data 
submitted by the States did not rebut the presumption that the 
Applicant was injured by the crude oil overcharges.
