did not have any responsive documents

in its possession. On appeal, the

Appellant argued that the DOE must

possess such documents because the

Clean Room contract was a construction

contract and under the Davis-Bacon Act,

the agency was required to keep such

records. The Office of Hearings and

Appeals (OHA) found that the Clean

Room contract had been classified as a

service contract not covered by the

Davis-Bacon Act. Therefore, OHA

upheld Oak Ridge’s Determination that

the agency did not possess responsive

documents. The OHA also found that

the agency did not own any responsive

documents under contract. Therefore,

the DOE denied the Appeal.

Personnel Security Hearings

Personnel Security Hearing, 3/5/97,

VSO–0114

A Hearing Officer found that an

individual had not successfully

mitigated security concerns arising from

his providing false information and his

pattern of keeping certain of his

behavior secret. These behaviors tended

to show that the individual was not

honest, reliable, and trustworthy.

Accordingly, the Hearing Officer

recommended in the Opinion that the

individual’s access authorization not be

restored.

Personnel Security Hearing, 3/6/97,

VSO–0115

A Hearing Officer found that an

individual had not successfully resolved

security concerns arising from her

mental illness. The behavior associated

with her mental illness, including an

attempted suicide, indicated that the

mental illness causes a significant defect

in the individual’s judgment and

reliability. Although the individual is

now participating in a therapeutic

program, she has not participated long

enough to provide assurance that

defects in her judgment and reliability

will not recur. Accordingly, the Hearing

Officer recommended in the Opinion

that the individual’s access

authorization not be restored.

Refund Application

Kathleen Lanier, 3/7/97, RK272–4201

The DOE denied a supplemental

crude oil refund application filed by

Kathleen Lanier. The OHA determined

that Ms. Lanier had no legally

cognizable relationship to the original

refund applicant, Golden Dawn Foods,

Inc.

Appeals

Quivira Mining Company, 3/13/97,

VEA–0007
18114 Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 71 / Monday, April 14, 1997 / Notices

Quivira Mining Company filed an

Appeal from a determination of the

Environmental Restoration Division of

the DOE’s Albuquerque Operations

Office, disallowing certain remedial

action costs claimed pursuant to 10

C.F.R. Part 765. Quivira contended that

it was entitled to revise its reported

costs to claim (i) Depreciation on

equipment that had already been

expensed or fully depreciated and (ii)

home office expenses that had been

reallocated to the reclamation activities.

The DOE rejected the Appeal, finding

that the firm had not demonstrated that

it was entitled to the claimed costs

under the relevant statute and

implementing regulations.
