Decision List No. 85; Week of May 11 Through May 15, 1998

Appeal

Cincinnati Gas & Electric Co., 5/11/98, VEA-0008

    The Office of Hearings and Appeals considered an Appeal filed by 
Cincinnati Gas & Electric Company (CG&E) from a determination issued on 
December 8, 1997, by the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable 
Energy (EE) of the Department of Energy (DOE), under provisions of 10 
CFR Part 490 (Alternative Fuel Transportation Program). In its 
determination, EE partially granted a request by CG&E to receive 
credits under the Part 490 program for certain 1997 Model Year vehicles 
which the firm converted to alternative fuel vehicles (AFVs), but not 
within four months after acquisition as required under 10 CFR 
490.305(c). EE granted relief for such vehicles converted by CG&E on or 
before August 31, 1997. However, in its Appeal, CG&E sought additional 
credits for such vehicles (30) converted by the firm during the period 
September through December 1997. After considering evidence presented 
by CG&E concerning delays encountered by the firm in acquiring AFV 
conversion equipment, the DOE determined that CG&E's Appeal should be 
granted in part. Accordingly, the DOE granted CG&E credits under the 
Part 490 program for 17 of the 30 converted AFVs subject to its Appeal.
