SUMMARY: The Office of Hearings and Appeals (OHA) of the Department of

established to distribute refunds from the escrow account maintained 
pursuant to a consent order entered into between the DOE and

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On January 22, 1992, the Office of Hearings 
and Appeals of the Department of Energy issued a Decision and Order 
setting forth final refund procedures to distribute the monies in the 
oil overcharge escrow account established in accordance with the terms 
of a Consent Order entered into by the Department of Energy and the 
Strasburger Enterprises, Inc. See Strasburger Enterprises, Inc., 22 DOE 
 85,021 (1992), 57 FR 3199 (January 28, 1992). That Decision 
established January 29, 1993, as the filing deadline for the submission 
of refund applications for direct restitution by purchasers of 
Strasburger Enterprises, Inc.'s refined petroleum products. 22 DOE at 
88,063.
    The Office of Hearings and Appeals commenced accepting refund 
applications in the Strasburger Enterprises, Inc. refund proceeding on 
February 18, 1992, more than two years ago. All of the Applications for 
Refund filed in the Strasburger Enterprises, Inc. proceeding have been 
considered and resolved. Furthermore, in view of the extended period of 
time that has transpired since the commencement of the proceeding, and 
the fact that no Applications for Refund have been submitted since 
February 2, 1993, we have concluded that all eligible applicants have 
been provided with ample time to file. Accordingly, effective April 22, 
1994, the proceeding established to distribute funds from the escrow 
account maintained pursuant to the consent order entered into between 
the DOE and Strasburger Enterprises, Inc. will be closed. Any unclaimed 
funds remaining will be made available for indirect restitution 
pursuant to the Petroleum Overcharge Distribution and Restitution Act 
of 1986, 15 U.S.C. 4501.

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