Department of Energy

Decision List No. 20 Week of February 10 through February 14, 1997

Request for Exception

Nugent Motor Company, 2/11/97, VEE-0033

    Nugent Motor Company (Nugent) filed an Application for Exception 
requesting relief from the requirement that it file the Energy 
Information Administration form entitled ``Resellers'/Retailers' 
Monthly Petroleum Product Sales Report'' (Form EIA-782B). The DOE found 
that even though one clerk worked overtime to complete the form, the 
filing requirement did not constitute a special hardship, inequity or 
unfair distribution of burdens. Therefore, the Application was denied.

Refund Application

Gulf Oil Corp./Bounds Oil Company, 2/14/97, RF300-289

    A refund of $2,221 including interest is awarded in the Gulf Oil 
Corporation (Gulf) special refund proceeding to the heir of a partner 
of Bounds Oil Company (BOC), a business that purchased Gulf products. 
The application was previously denied due to inadequate documentation 
of the partnership and the heir's ownership interest. Here, the 
applicant substantiated that he was the sole heir of a partner who 
owned fifty percent of BOC. The applicant was therefore granted a 
refund equal to fifty percent of BOC's allocable share of the Gulf 
refund, plus applicable interest.

Refund Applications

    The Office of Hearings and Appeals issued the following Decisions 
and Orders concerning refund applications, which are not summarized.
