Requests for Exception

    Applebee Oil & Profane, 11/22/94, LEE-0145

    Applebee Oil & Propane of Ovid, Michigan, filed an Application for 
Exception from the Energy Information Administration (EIA) requirement 
that it file Form EIA-782B, the ``Resellers'/Retailers' Monthly 
Petroleum Product Sales Report.'' In considering this request, the DOE 
found that the firm was not suffering gross inequity or serious 
hardship. On August 11, 1994, the DOE issued a Proposed Decision and 
Order determining that the exception request should be denied. No 
Notice of Objection to the Proposed Decision and Order was filed at the 
Office of Hearings and Appeals of the DOE within the prescribed time 
period. Therefore, the DOE issued the Proposed Decision and Order in 
final form, denying Applebee Oil & Propane's Application for Exception.

    West-Pet., Inc., 11/22/94, LEE-0156

    West-Pet., Inc. of New Orleans, Louisiana filed an Application for 
Exception from the Energy Information (EIA) requirement that it file 
Form EIA-782B, the ``Resellers'/Retailers' Monthly Petroleum Product 
Sales Report.'' In considering this request, the DOE found that the 
firm was not suffering gross inequity or serious hardship. On September 
23, 1994, the DOE issued a Proposed Decision and Order determining that 
the exception request should be denied. No Notice of Objection to the 
Proposed Decision and Order was filed at the Office of Hearings and 
Appeals of the DOE within the prescribed time period. Therefore, the 
DOE issued the Proposed Decision and Order in final form, denying Wes-
Pet., Inc.'s Application for Exception.

Interlocutory Order

    Richland Operations Office, 11/25/94, VPZ-0001

    The DOE's Richland Operations Office (Richland) filed a Request for 
Depositions (request) on November 14, 1994 with the Office of Hearing 
and Appeals (OHA). The request concerns an evidentiary hearing to be 
convened in connection with an appeal by Benton County, Washington of a 
determination issued by Richland denying the County's claim for 
Payment-Equal-To-Taxes (PETT) under the Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 
1982, as amended. In the request, Richland asked that OHA order Benton 
County to make available for deposition five Benton County witnesses. 
On considering the request, OHA found that because the five witnesses 
in question possessed important technical knowledge, further pre-trial 
discovery was warranted. Accordingly, OHA granted the request.
