Decision List No. 18

Week of January 27 through January 31,

1997

Appeals

Consolidated Edison Company of New

York, Inc., 1/28/97, VFA–0006

The DOE denied an appeal of a utility

from a determination of its liability to

the Uranium Enrichment

Decontamination and Decommissioning

Fund established under the Energy

Policy Act of 1992. The DOE

determined that the utility was properly

assessed for separative work it

purchased in leasing uranium from the

DOE and for separative work used to

enrich excess uranium the utility

provided to its nuclear fuel fabricator.

Ezra A. Beattie, Sr., 1/28/97, VFA–

0247

The DOE denied a Freedom of

Information Act (FOIA) Appeal filed by

Ezra A. Beattie, Sr. Beattie sought

information concerning a particular

Office of the Inspector General (IG)

investigation. The OHA found that the

IG’s withholding of the identities of

individuals who had provided

information to the IG was appropriate

under FOIA Exemptions 6 and 7(C).

Eugene Maples, 1/31/97, VFA–0258

Eugene Maples filed an Appeal from

a determination issued by the Office of

Inspector General (OIG) on November

25, 1996. The determination released

information Mr. Maples had requested

but deleted all personal names in that

information under Exemptions 6 and

7(C). The DOE determined that not all

of the names deleted were eligible for

withholding under these Exemptions,

because some of them were of persons

who were neither the focus of the OIG’s

investigation nor witnesses. Therefore,

the DOE granted the Appeal in part, and

remanded the matter to the OIG to

determine whether any of the names

withheld could be released.

Request for Exception

Lepiers’ Inc., 11/28/97, VEE–0034

LePiers’ Inc., filed an Application for

Exception from the requirement that it

file Form EIA–782B, entitled ‘‘Resellers/

Retailers’ Monthly Petroleum Products

Sales Report.’’ The DOE found that

exception relief was not warranted in

this case, because LePiers’ was not

experiencing a special hardship,

inequity or unfair distribution of

burdens as a result of the requirement

that it file the Form. Consequently, the

DOE concluded that the Application for

Exception filed by LePiers’ should be

denied.

Personnel Security Hearing

Personnel Security Hearing, 11/28/97,

VSO–0101

A Hearing Officer issued an Opinion

regarding the eligibility of an individual

to maintain an access authorization. The

DOE Personnel Security Division

alleged that the individual: (1)

Deliberately misrepresented in a

personnel security interview his use of

marijuana and problems with

prescription drugs; and (2) used, or

experimented with drugs or other

controlled substance. The DOE alleged

that this conduct tends to show that the

individual is not honest, reliable, or

trustworthy. The Hearing Officer

determined that the individual did not

deliberately falsify information in a

personnel security interview. However,

the Hearing Officer also determined that

the individual used an illegal drug and

abused prescription medication, which

indicated that he is not honest, reliable

or trustworthy. Accordingly, the

Hearing Officer recommended that the

individual’s access authorization not be

restored.

Refund Applications

Oivind Lorentzen Shipping As, 11/27/

97, RG272–613

The DOE denied an Application for

Refund filed on behalf of Oivind

Lorentzen Shipping AS in the crude oil

refund proceeding. The basis for the

denial was the finding that the

estimation method used by the firm to

determine its petroleum product

purchases during the refund period was

not reasonable.

Wells Cargo, Inc., 11/28/97, RR272–124

Wells Cargo, Inc., filed a Motion for

Reconsideration in the Supart V crude

oil overcharge refund proceeding. The

Office of Hearings and Appeals had

previously rescinded the firm’s crude

oil refund because the firm had waived

the right to receive such a refund by

participating as a Surface Transporter in

the Stripper Well refund proceeding.

The firm requested that the Office of

Hearings and Appeals reconsider that

rescission, contending that it should

have been able to claim refunds in the

Subpart V refund proceeding that it

could not have claimed in the Stripper

Well refund proceeding. The OHA

found no merit in this argument, stating

that this very position had already been

clearly considered and rejected by the

Temporary Emergency Court of

Appeals. Accordingly, Wells Cargo’s

Motion was denied.

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.
