Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 25 / Tuesday, February 7, 1995 / Notices 7197

7Under the Privacy Act of 1974, the submission

of a social security number by an individual

applicant is voluntary. An applicant that does not

submit a social security number must submit an

employer identification number if one exists. This

information will be used in processing refund

applications, and is requested pursuant to our

authority under the Petroleum Overcharge

Distribution Act of 1986 and the regulations

codified at 10 C.F.R. Part 205, Subpart V. The

information may be shared with other Federal

agencies for statistical, auditing or archiving

purposes, and with law enforcement agencies when

they are investigating a potential violation of civil

or criminal law. Unless an applicant claims

confidentiality, this information will be available to

the public in the Public Reference Room of the

Office of Hearings and Appeals.

8The Remedial Orders cover the following

periods: August 1, 1979 through October 31, 1979

in the Ed’s Exxon proceeding and August 1, 1979

through November 13, 1981 in the Ron’s Shell

proceeding.

9As in other refund proceedings involving

alleged refined product violations, the DOE will

presume that affiliates of the remedial order firm

were not injured by the firm’s overcharges. See, e.g.,

Marathon Petroleum Co./EMRO Propane Co., 15

DOE ¶ 85,288 (1987). This is because the remedial

order firm presumably would not have sold

petroleum products to an affiliate if such a sale

would have placed the purchaser at a competitive

disadvantage. See Marathon Petroleum Co./Pilot Oil

Corp., 16 DOE ¶85,611 (1987), amended claim

denied, 17 DOE ¶85,291 (1988), reconsideration

denied, 20 DOE ¶85,236 (1990). Furthermore, if an

affiliate of the remedial order firm were granted a

refund, the remedial order firm would be indirectly

compensated from a Remedial Order fund remitted

to settle its own alleged violations.

(1) Identifying information including the

claimant’s name, current business address,

business address during the refund period,

taxpayer identification number, a statement

indicating whether the claimant is an

individual, corporation, partnership, sole

proprietorship, or other business entity, the

name, title, and telephone number of a

person to contact for additional information,

and the name and address of the person who

should receive any refund check.7 If the

applicant operated under more than one

name or under a different name during the

price control period, the applicant should

specify those names;

(2) A monthly purchase schedule covering

the relevant Remedial Order period.8 The

applicant should specify the source of this

gallonage information. In calculating its

purchase volumes, an applicant should use

actual records from the refund period, if

available. If these records are not available,

the applicant may submit estimates of its

gasoline purchases, but the estimation

method must be reasonable and must be

explained.

(3) A statement whether the applicant or a

related firm has filed, or has authorized any

individual to file on its behalf, any other

application in that refund proceeding. If so,

an explanation of the circumstances of the

other filing or authorization should be

submitted;

(4) If the applicant is or was in any way

affiliated with the remedial order firm, it

should explain this affiliation, including the

time period in which it was affiliated.9

(5) The statement listed below signed by

the individual applicant or a responsible

official of the firm filing the refund

application:

I swear (or affirm) that the information

contained in this application and its

attachments is true to the best of my

knowledge and belief. I understand that

anyone who is convicted of providing false

information to the federal government may

be subject to a fine, a jail sentence, or both,

pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 1001. I understand

that the information contained in this

application is subject to public disclosure. I

have enclosed a duplicate of this entire

application which will be placed in the OHA

Public Reference Room.

All applications should be either typed or

printed and clearly labeled ‘‘Ed’s Exxon

(Case No. LEF–0078) OR Ron’s Shell (Case

No. LEF–0084) Special Refund Proceeding.’’

Each applicant must submit an original and

one copy of the application. If the applicant

believes that any of the information in its

application is confidential and does not wish

for that information to be publicly disclosed,

it must submit an original application,

clearly designated ‘‘confidential,’’ containing

the confidential information, and two copies

of the application with the confidential

information deleted. All refund applications

should be postmarked on or before August

31, 1995 and sent to: Ed’s Exxon OR Ron’s

Shell Special Refund Proceeding, Office of

Hearings and Appeals, Department of Energy,

1000 Independence Ave., S.W., Washington,

D.C. 20585.

C. Refund Applications Filed by

Representatives

We will adopt the standard OHA

procedures relating to refund applications

filed on behalf of applicants by

‘‘representatives,’’ including refund filing

services, consulting firms, accountants, and

attorneys. See, e.g., Starks Shell Service, 23

DOE ¶ 85,017 (1993); Texaco Inc., 20 DOE

¶ 85,147 (1990); Shell Oil Co., 18 DOE

¶ 85,492 (1989). We will also require strict

compliance with the filing requirements as

specified in 10 C.F.R. § 205.283, particularly

the requirement that applications and the

accompanying certification statement be

signed by the applicant.

The OHA reiterates its policy to scrutinize

applications filed by filing services closely.

Applications submitted by a filing service

should contain all of the information

indicated above.

Finally, the OHA reserves the authority to

require additional information before

granting any refund in these proceedings.

Applications lacking the required

information may be dismissed or denied.

D. Distribution of Funds Remaining After

First Stage

Any funds that remain after all first stage

claims have been decided shall be distributed

in accordance with the provisions of the

Petroleum Overcharge Distribution and

Restitution Act of 1986 (PODRA), 15 U.S.C.

§ 4501–07. PODRA requires that the

Secretary of Energy determine annually the

amount of oil overcharge funds that will not

be required to refund monies to injured

parties in Subpart V proceedings and make

those funds available to state governments for

use in four energy conservation programs.

The Secretary has delegated these

responsibilities to the OHA, and any funds in

the Remedial Order funds that the OHA

determines will not be needed to effect direct

restitution to injured customers will be

distributed in accordance with the provisions

of PODRA.

It Is Therefore Ordered That: (1)

Applications for Refund from the funds

remitted to the Department of Energy by Ed’s

Exxon and Ron’s Shell pursuant to the

Remedial Orders dated September 30, 1981

and April 27, 1982 may now be filed.

(2) Applications for Refund must be

postmarked no later than August 31, 1995.

Dated: January 27, 1995.

Director, Office of Hearings and Appeals.
