Decision List No. 8

Week of November 18 through November 22, 1996

Appeals

Energy Market & Policy Analysis, Inc., 11/18/96, VFA-0222

    Energy Market & Policy Analysis, Inc. filed an Appeal from a 
determination issued to it on October 9, 1996, by the Principal Deputy 
Assistant Secretary for Energy Efficiency & Renewable Energy of the 
Department of Energy (DOE). In that determination, the Principal Deputy 
Assistant Secretary partially granted a request for information filed 
by Energy Market and Policy Analysis, Inc. on June 29, 1996. In 
considering the Appeal, the DOE confirmed that additional records 
responsive to the Energy Market & Policy Analysis, Inc. request exist. 
Accordingly, the DOE granted the Energy Market & Policy Analysis, Inc. 
Appeal, subject to a fee agreement between the DOE and the requester.

Glen M. Jameson, 11/20/96, VFA-0233

    Glen M. Jameson filed an Appeal from a determination dated April 
22, 1996 (but not received by him until October 1996), by the Freedom 
of Information Act/Privacy Act Officer of the Rocky Flats Office (FOIA 
Officer) of the Department of Energy (DOE). In that determination, the 
FOIA Officer stated that the DOE does not possess records responsive to 
Mr. Jameson's request. In considering the Appeal, the DOE confirmed 
that the FOIA Officer searched all of the areas that might reasonably 
contain responsive information, including those areas suggested by Mr. 
Jameson. Since the FOIA Officer verified that no responsive documents 
exist, the DOE denied Mr. Jameson's Appeal.

Implementation of Special Refund Procedures

Houston-Pasadena Apache Oil Co., 11/19/96, VEF-0022

    The DOE issued a Decision and Order announcing procedures to 
distribute $30,000, plus accrued interest, remitted to the DOE pursuant 
to a Stipulation for Compromise Settlement concerning the Houston-
Pasadena Apache Oil Company (Apache). The Office of Hearings and 
Appeals has determined that the funds from Apache, plus accrued 
interest, will be distributed to a group of former Apache customers 
which was identified in a DOE enforcement proceeding as overcharged 
Apache motor gasoline purchasers. Any funds remaining after refund 
claims filed by these parties are decided will be distributed in 
accordance with the provisions of the Petroleum Overcharge Distribution 
and Restitution Act of 1986, 15 U.S.C. Secs. 4501-07.
