his drug use, but had not shown

rehabilitation from the falsification.

Accordingly, the Hearing Officer

determined that the individual’s

clearance should not be restored.

Refund Application

Gulf Oil Corporation/Hilltop Auto

Laundry, 3/23/95, RF300–15647

Hilltop Auto Laundry filed an

Application for Refund in the Gulf Oil

Corporation (Gulf) special refund

proceeding. Hilltop requested an abovevolumetric refund based on Gulf’s

alleged breach of 1972 franchise and

supply agreements. The conduct cited

by Hilltop was Gulf’s termination of the

franchise arrangement, Gulf’s use of a

substitute supplier, and Hilltop’s receipt

of less product than provided for under

the 1972 contract. In considering

Hilltop’s Application, the DOE noted

that refunds are granted based on

alleged or actual regulatory violations,

not alleged breaches of contractual

agreements. The DOE determined that

Hilltop had not demonstrated that the

conduct in question violated the

regulations. Accordingly, the

Application was denied.

Issuance of Decisions and Orders

During the Week of February 13

through February 17, 1995

During the week of February 13

through February 17, 1995, the

decisions and orders summarized below

were issued with respect to appeals and

applications for other relief filed with

the Office of Hearings and Appeals of

the Department of Energy. The

following summary also contains a list

of submissions that were dismissed by

the Office of Hearings and Appeals.

Appeal

Southwest Resource Development, 2/15/

95, VFA–0020

Southwest Resource Development

(Southwest) filed an Appeal from a

partial denial by the DOE’s Office of

Inspector General (IG) of a Request for

Information which Southwest had

submitted under the Freedom of

Information Act (FOIA). In considering

the Appeal, the DOE found that IG

properly applied Exemptions 6 and 7(C)

to the information requested by

Southwest. The DOE found that the

information requested by Southwest

might identify individuals in an IG

investigation by indicating certain

functions performed by them. Since the

interest in the identity of the

individuals did not outweigh the

individuals’ privacy interest, the release

of identifying information would

constitute an unwarranted invasion of

privacy. Accordingly, the Appeal was

denied.

Refund Applications

Defense Logistics Agency, 2/14/95,

RF272–11

The DOE issued a Decision and Order

concerning an Application for Refund

filed in the Subpart V Crude Oil refund

proceeding by Defense Logistics Agency

(DLA), a purchasing organ for the

federal government. In granting the DLA

refund claim, the DOE rejected

challenges to the agency’s right to

receive a refund in the proceeding and

DLA’s claimed status as a product enduser. The DOE noted that agencies of the

federal government are not precluded

from participation in the Crude Oil

refund proceeding, and that DLA was

properly classified as an end-user since

its purchase of refined petroleum

product ended the commercial

marketing of the product which was

consumed by entities of the federal

government. DLA was therefore granted

a refund of $34,161,149.

Holston Defense Corp., 2/13/95, RF272–

91995

The DOE issued a Decision and Order

denying Holston Defense Corporation’s

application for refund in the crude oil

special refund proceeding. The

applicant purchased petroleum

products for work done under contract

with the U.S. Department of Defense.

Since the Department of Defense

reimbursed Holston for all petroleum

purchases, it was ineligible to receive a

refund in this proceeding. Therefore, the

Application for Refund was denied.

Office of Research and Development;

Ambient Air Monitoring Reference and

Equivalent Methods; Equivalent

Method Designations

Notice is hereby given that EPA, in

accordance with 40 CFR part 53, has

designated 3 additional equivalent

methods, for the measurement of

ambient concentrations of sulfur

dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, and ozone.

The new equivalent methods are

automated methods (analyzers) that

utilize a measurement principle based

on differential optical absorption

spectroscopy (DOAS) and measure

pollutant concentrations in the ambient

air over a long, open path up to 1

kilometer in length. The new designated

methods are identified as follows:

EQSA–0495–101, Opsis Model AR

500 System, open path (long path)

ambient air monitoring system

configured for measuring SO2, with one

detector and movable grating, operated

with a measurement range of 0 to 0.5

ppm, an installed monitoring path

length between 20 and 500 meters (or 20

and 1000 meters with the ER 150

option), xenon lamp type B (150 watt),

fiber optic cable length between 3 to 20

meters; operating within an ambient air

temperature range of ¥50 to +50°C, an

analyzer temperature range of 20 to

30°C, a measurement (integrating) time

setting between 30 and 120 seconds (0

min:30 sec. to 2 min:00 sec.), and with

a complete cycle time of not more than

200 seconds (3 min, 20 sec.). Under this

method designation, the Model AR 500

System consists of:

AR 500 opto-analyser,

Emitter EM 110 and receiver RE 110

(together identified as ER 110),

Optic fibre cable OF 60–S,

Power supply PS 150,

OPSIS operational software, version 7.0,

Initial on-site installation, setup, and

limited operator training.

Optional components that can be used

in addition to or as alternative to

corresponding components listed above

are:

AR 503 opto-analyzer configured as

Model AR 500 (only the center

detector active, sequential

monitoring),

Emitter/receiver ER 150 (for monitoring

path lengths up to 1 kilometer),

Xenon lamp type A (higher shortwavelength UV output),

Optic fibre cable OF 60–R (low-loss for

short wavelengths),

Multiplexers MX 004 and MX 024,

Dataloggers DL 010 and DL 016,

Analogue and digital input/output cards

AO 008, AI 016, and DI 032,

Analogue and digital isolation cards IA

008, ID 008, AO 008, and OD 008,

Window heaters HF 110 and HF 150,

Mirror heaters HM 110 and HM 150,

Auto calibration unit CU 007,

Software packages IO 80 version 1.4 (for

the analogue and digital input/output

adapters), DL10 and DL16 (for data

loggers), ComVision, and STAT 500;

and recommended calibration and

accuracy audit components (or

equivalent):

Wavelength calibration lamp CA 004,

Calibration bench CB 100,

Receiver unit RE 060 (two required),

Calibration unit CA 150, with same type

lamp as used in the monitoring path
