DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
 

Issuance of Proposed Decisions and Orders for Week of March 21 
Through March 25, 1994

    During the week of March 21 through March 25, 1994, the proposed 
decisions and orders summarized below were issued by the Office of 
Hearings and Appeals of the Department of Energy with regard to 
applications for exception.
    Under the procedural regulations that apply to exception 
proceedings (10 CFR part 205, subpart D), any person who will be 
aggrieved by the issuance of a proposed decision and order in final 
form may file a written notice of objection within ten days of service. 
For purposes of the procedural regulations, the date of service of 
notice is deemed to be the date of publication of this Notice or the 
date an aggrieved person receives actual notice, whichever occurs 
first.
    The procedural regulations provide that an aggrieved party who 
fails to file a Notice of Objection within the time period specified in 
the regulations will be deemed to consent to the issuance of the 
proposed decision and order in final form. An aggrieved party who 
wishes to contest a determination made in a proposed decision and order 
must also file a detailed statement of objections within 30 days of the 
date of service of the proposed decision and order. In the statement of 
objections, the aggrieved party must specify each issue of fact or law 
that it intends to contest in any further proceeding involving the 
exception matter.
    Copies of the full text of these proposed decisions and orders are 
available in the Public Reference Room of the Office of Hearings and 
Appeals, room 1E-234, Forrestal Building, 1000 Independence Avenue SW., 
Washington, DC 20585, Monday through Friday, between the hours of 1 
p.m. and 5 p.m., except federal holidays.

    Dated: April 6, 1994.
George B. Breznay,
Director, Office of Hearings and Appeals.

Farmers Co-Operative Company, Winger, MN, Reporting Requirements, Lee-
0077

    Farmers Co-Operative Company filed an Application for Exception 
from the Energy Information Administration (EIA) requirement that it 
file Form EIA-782B, the ``Resellers'/Retailers' Monthly Petroleum 
Product Sales Report.'' In considering this request, the DOE found that 
the firm was not suffering a gross inequity or serious hardship. 
Accordingly, on March 24, 1994, the DOE issued a Proposed Decision and 
Order determining that the exception request should be denied.

Friendly Service Stations, Inc., Fairfield, CT, Reporting Requirements, 
Lee-0070

    Friendly Service Stations, Inc., (Friendly) filed an Application 
for Exception from the Energy Information Administration (EIA) 
requirement that it file Form EIA-782B, the ``Resellers'/Retailers' 
Monthly Petroleum Product Sales Report.'' Friendly showed that it had 
been forced by financial difficulties to reduce its staff to such an 
extent that complying with the reporting requirement would impose an 
inordinate burden on the firm. DOE therefore determined that exception 
relief should be granted. Friendly hopes that its current difficulties 
will prove temporary. The exception relief granted will therefore be 
effective for a period of nineteen months, ending April 30, 1995. 
Accordingly, on March 23, 1994, the DOE issued a Proposed Decision and 
Order determining that the request should be granted in part.

Lorenz Petroleum, Inc., Manitowoc, WI, Reporting Requirements, Lee-0092

    Lorenz Petroleum, Inc. filed an Application for Exception from the 
Energy Information Administration (EIA) requirement that it file Form 
EIA-782B, the ``Resellers'/Retailers' Monthly Petroleum Product Sales 
Report.'' In considering the request, the DOE found that the firm was 
experiencing a serious hardship due to the medical problems of its 
owner, Kenneth Lorenz. Accordingly, on March 21, 1994, the DOE issued a 
Proposed Decision and Order determining that the exception request 
should be granted in part.

New Dixie Oil Corporation, Roanoke Rapids, NC, Reporting Requirements, 
Lee-0074

    New Dixie Oil Corporation (New Dixie) filed an Application for 
Exception from the provision of filing Form EIA-782B, entitled

Exception request, if granted, would permit New Dixie to be exempted 
from filing Form EIA-782B. On March 24, 1994, the Department of Energy 
issued a Proposed Decision and Order which determined that the 
Exception request should be denied.

not suffering gross inequity or serious hardship. Accordingly, on March 
24, 1994, the DOE issued a Proposed Decision and Order determining that

Winn's Gas & Oil, Paul, ID, Reporting Requirements, Lee-0078

    Winn's Gas & Oil filed an Application for Exception from the 
requirement that it file Form 782B, the ``Resellers'/Retailers' Monthly 
Petroleum Product Sales Report.'' In considering the request, the DOE 
found that the firm was not experiencing a serious hardship or being 
adversely affected by the reporting requirement in a way that was 
significantly different from the burden borne by similar reporting 
firms. Accordingly, on March 24, 1994, the DOE issued a Proposed 
Decision and Order determining that the exception request should be 
denied.
