Office of Hearings and Appeals

Notice of Issuance of Decisions and

Orders During the Week of February 27

Through March 3, 1995

During the week of February 27

through March 3, 1995, the decisions

and orders summarized below were

issued with respect to applications for

exception or 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.

Appeals

Cowles Publishing Company, 2/28/95,

VFA–0010

Cowles Publishing Company (Cowles)

filed an Appeal from a denial by the

DOE’s Richland Operations Office

(Richland) of a request for information

submitted under the Freedom of

Information Act (FOIA). Cowles sought

three legal memoranda written in 1963

by an attorney employed by General

Electric d/b/a Hanford Atomic Products

Operation (GE/Hanford). The three

memoranda concerned GE’s potential

liability for ‘‘Voluntary and Planned’’

human radiation experiments. GE/

Hanford was the management and

operations contractor at DOE’s Hanford,

Washington facility from the 1940s until

the mid 1960s when Battelle Memorial

Institute (Battelle) assumed GE/

Hanford’s research and development

functions. The three withheld records

had been transferred to Battelle during

the transition period between the two

contractors. The memoranda were

withheld by Richland because they were

not ‘‘agency records’’ and, even if

‘‘agency records’’, were protected by the

attorney-client privilege component of

FOIA Exemption 5. On appeal, the DOE

found that the memoranda are neither

‘‘agency records’’ within the meaning of

the FOIA, nor subject to the FOIA under

a new DOE contractor records regulation

at 10 CFR 1004.3(e), 59 FR 63,884

(December 12, 1994). Although the DOE

found that it owns the documents under

the DOE/GE contract and the DOE/

Battelle contract, it concluded that the

documents are protected by the

attorney-client communications

privilege and the attorney work product

privilege. The DOE also found that

because the DOE, GE and Battelle share

a ‘‘common legal interest’’ in the

documents and because the

requirements for finding waiver were

not met, the documents have

maintained their privileged status.

Accordingly, the DOE denied Cowles’

FOIA Appeal.

Kenneth W. Warden, 3/1/95, VFA–0023

Kenneth W. Warden filed an Appeal

from a partial denial by the DOE’s Oak

Ridge Operation’s Office of a Request for

Information that he had submitted

under the Freedom of Information Act

(FOIA). Two documents had been

withheld pursuant to Exemption 6. In

considering the Appeal, the DOE found

that the public’s interest in disclosure of

the documents was slight in comparison

with the privacy interest of the

individuals mentioned in the

documents. Accordingly, the Appeal

was denied.

Request for Exception

Commonwealth Oil Refining Company,

Inc., 2/27/95, LEE–0002

Commonwealth Oil Refining

Company, Inc. filed an Application for

Exception in which the firm requested

relief based on the delay in its receipt

of exception relief pursuant to a 1978

exception application. In considering

the request, the DOE found that Corco’s

claim did not form the basis for an

independent grant of exception relief.

The DOE further found that

modification of the original grant of

relief was unwarranted on the grounds,

inter alia, that the delays in the case

were largely the result of Corco’s

litigation strategy, that the receipt of

relief in 1978 would not have permitted

the survival of Corco’s refinery and

petrochemical operations, and that

Corco was actually better off as the

result of its receipt of relief in 1989 and

1994. Accordingly, exception relief was

denied.

Refund Applications

County of Los Angeles CAO/Purchasing

and Stores Department, et al., 3/3/

95, RF272–29545, et al.

The DOE issued a Decision and Order

concerning seven Applications for

Refund filed by various departments of

the County of Los Angeles in the crude

oil special refund proceeding being

conducted by the DOE under 10 CFR

part 205, subpart V. The DOE rejected
