DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Issuance of Decisions and Orders During the Week of January 9
Through January 13, 1995
During the week of January 9 through January 13, 1995, the
decisions and orders summarized below were issued with respect to
applications for 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.
Refund Applications
Gulf Oil Corporation/Donati's Auto Repair, 1/9/95, RF300-15980
The DOE issued a Decision and Order concerning an Application for
Refund submitted in the Gulf Oil Corporation special refund proceeding
by the owner of Donati's Auto Repair, a retailer of Gulf petroleum
products. The applicant requested reconsideration of an Application for
Refund that he filed in a previous Gulf refund proceeding. The DOE had
dismissed that application. The applicant filed his request nearly five
years after his previous Application was dismissed, and did not provide
any reason as to why his claim should be reconsidered. In addition, the
DOE had disbursed all of the remaining funds in the proceeding's escrow
account pursuant to the provisions of the Petroleum Overcharge
Distribution and Restitution Act of 1986. Accordingly, the DOE
determined that it would not be appropriate to reopen the earlier
proceeding and denied the Application.
Shell Oil Company/Briggs Transportation Company; Texaco Inc./Briggs
Transportation Company 1/11/95, RF315-10286, RF321-21054
The DOE issued a Supplemental Order rescinding refunds granted to
Brigg Transporation Company (Briggs) in the Shell Oil Company and
Texaco Inc. special refund proceedings. Prior to the filing of Briggs'
refund applications, Briggs had filed for bankruptcy. The Trustee in
Bankruptcy authorized a private filing service, LK, Inc. (LK), to file
the two applications. Pursuant to the Trustee's request, the DOE
ordered each refund check to be made payable to Briggs and mailed to
LK. When LK received each check, it deposited the check in its account,
retained its commission and sent the remainder to the Trustee. The
Trustee later informed the DOE that because the Bankruptcy Court found
the proposed distribution to Briggs' creditors to be inefficient, the
refunds should be returned to the DOE. The Trustee also enclosed
Briggs' share of the two refunds. Accordingly, the DOE rescinded the
refunds issued to Briggs and ordered the two checks received from the
Trustee deposited in the Texaco Inc. and Shell Oil Company escrow
accounts. Further, it ordered LK to repay its commissions, but did not
assess interest on the commissions for the period of time during which
LK had use of these funds.
