Decision List No. 11--Week of December 9 Through December 13, 1996

Refund Application

Shell Oil Co./Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway Co., 12/13/96, RR-
315-11

    The Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway Company, Inc. (Santa Fe) 
filed a motion for reconsideration of a denial by the Department of 
Energy's (DOE) Office of Hearings and Appeal of an application for an 
above-volumetric refund claim in the DOE's Subpart V Shell Oil Company 
refund proceeding. In considering the Motion for reconsideration, OHA 
found that Santa Fe's contention that Shell should use a different May 
15, 1973 price to calculate the Maximum Legal Selling Price for diesel 
fuel at two of Shell's refineries was without merit. The DOE also 
applied the doctrine of res judicata in finding that Santa Fe's above-
volumetric claim was barred by its prior settlement of a lawsuit 
concerning the same issues.
