Refund Application

Champion Spark Plug Co., 7/1/98,

RR272–270

The DOE issued a Decision and Order

granting an Application for Refund that

Champion Spark Plug Company filed in

the Subpart V crude oil refund

proceeding. The DOE originally denied

Champion’s Application, based on its

finding that Cooper Industries, a current

affiliate of Champion, had waived the

right of Champion to a crude oil refund

when it filed a claim in the Stripper

Well Surface Transporters refund

proceeding. However, because

Champion was not affiliated with

Cooper Industries as of the Payment

Date in the Surface Transporters

proceeding. The DOE reconsidered

Champion’s Application. The DOE

found that the Applicant was an enduser of the petroleum products for

which it sought a refund, and was

therefore presumed injured. Based upon

purchases of 3,770,806 gallons of

petroleum products, the DOE granted a

refund of $6,033.

issued the following Decisions and

denying a Freedom of Information Act

Personnel Security Hearing

Personnel Security Hearing, 7/9/98,

VSO–0194

A Hearing Officer issued an Opinion

regarding the eligibility of an individual

to maintain an access authorization

under the provisions of 10 CFR Part 710.

The DOE Personnel Security Division

alleged that the individual engaged in

unusual conduct that showed the

individual is not honest, reliable, or

trustworthy or is subject to coercion that

may cause the individual to act contrary

to the best interests of national security.

See 10 CFR § 710.8 (l). The parties

convened for an evidentiary hearing in

which seven witnesses testified. After

carefully examining the record of the

proceeding, the Hearing Officer

determined that the individual had

failed to mitigate security concerns

connected with his acts of domestic

violence. Accordingly, the Hearing

Officer recommended that DOE Security

not restore the individual’s access

authorization.

Refund Applications
