DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

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 end-user. 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.
