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.

    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
