Decision List No. 34, Week of May 19 Through May 23, 1997
Appeal
Bonita L. Haynes, 5/23/97, VFA-0290
The DOE granted in part a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) Appeal
filed by Bonita L. Haynes. Haynes sought the release of two names
withheld from a memo released to her by the DOE's Office of the
Inspector General (IG). In its decision, the DOE found that the IG's
withholding of one of the names was appropriate under FOIA Exemptions 6
and 7(C). However, the DOE also found that the IG's withholding of the
other name was not appropriate under the justification furnished by the
IG. Accordingly, the matter was remanded to the IG.
Requests for Exception
Greenville Automatic Gas Co., 5/22/97, VEE-0043
Greenville Automatic Gas Company filed an Application for Exception
from the Energy Information Administration requirement that it file
Form EIA-782B, the ``Resellers'/Retailers' Monthly Petroleum Product
Sales Report.'' In considering Greenville's request, the DOE found that
the firm was not experiencing any type of hardship or gross inequity.
Accordingly, exception relief was denied.
Hampton Gas Company, Inc. 5/22/97, VEE-0041
Hampton Gas Company, Inc., filed an Application for Exception from
the Energy Information Administration requirement that it file Form
EIA-782B, the ``Resellers'/Retailers' Monthly Petroleum Product Sales
Report.'' In considering Hampton's request, the DOE found that the firm
was not experiencing any type of hardship or gross inequity.
Accordingly, exception relief was denied.
Western Star Propane, Inc., 5/22/97, VEE-0040
Western Star Propane, Inc., filed an Application for Exception from
the Energy Information Administration requirement that it file Form
EIA-782B, the ``Resellers'/Retailers' Monthly Petroleum Product Sales
Report.'' In considering Western's request, the DOE found that the firm
was not experiencing any type of hardship or gross inequity.
Accordingly, exception relief was denied.
Refund Application
Department of the Interior/Bureau of Indian Affairs, 5/19/97, RF272-
74747
The DOE approved an Application for Refund filed by the Department
of the Interior/Bureau of Indian Affairs in the Subpart V crude oil
refund proceeding. The DOE determined that the claimed volumes were not
purchased through the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) and, therefore,
not covered by the refund granted DLA in a separate case.
Refund Applications
The Office of Hearings and Appeals issued the following Decisions
and Orders concerning refund applications, which are not summarized.
Copies of the full texts of the Decisions and Orders are available in
the Public Reference Room of the Office of Hearings and Appeals.
