Notice of Issuance of Decisions and

Orders During the Week of December

19 through December 23, 1994

During the week of December 19

through December 23, 1994 the

decisions and orders summarized below

were issued with respect to appeals and

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.

Appeal

E.O. Smelser, 12/21/94, VFA–0011

E.O. Smelser filed a Motion for

Reconsideration of the denial by the

Office of Hearings and Appeals of his

previous Freedom of Information Act

(FOIA) Appeal. In his original FOIA

request, Mr. Smelser had requested

copies of computer tapes for databases

created under a grant program which

the DOE had funded. In considering the

Motion, the OHA found that Mr.

Smelser did not introduce any new

evidence or changed circumstances that

would warrant granting the motion for

reconsideration. Accordingly, the

Motion was denied.

Requests for Exception

Bender Oil Company, 12/19/94, LEE–

0150

Bender Oil Company (Bender) filed an

Application for Exception from the

provisions of the Energy Information

Administration (EIA) reporting

requirements in which the firm sought

relief from filing Form EIA–782B,

entitled ‘‘Resellers’/Retailers’ Monthly

Petroleum Product Sales Report.’’ The

DOE determined that Bender did not

meet the standards for exception relief

because it was not experiencing a

serious hardship or gross inequity as a

result of the reporting requirements.

Accordingly, exception relief was

denied.

Berreth Oil, Inc., 12/20/94, LEE–0093

Berreth Oil, Inc. (Berreth) 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,’’ and

Form EIA–821, the ‘‘Annual Fuel Oil

and Kerosene Sales Report.’’ In

considering this request, the DOE found

that the firm was not suffering a gross

inequity or serious hardship. On July

25, 1994, the DOE issued a Proposed

Decision and Order determining that the

exception request should be denied. No

Notice of Objections 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 Berreth’s Application for

Exception.

Personnel Security Hearing

Albuquerque Operations Office, 12/22/

94, VSO–0001

The Office of Hearings and Appeals

issued the first Hearing Officer Opinion

addressing the continued eligibility of

an individual for access authorization

under the newly amended provisions of

10 C.F.R. Part 710, ‘‘Criteria and

Procedures for Determining Eligibility

for Access to Classified Matter or

Special Nuclear Material.’’ After

carefully considering the record in view

of the standards set forth in 10 C.F.R.

Part 710, the Hearing Officer found that

the individual had engaged in criminal

behavior which tended to show that she

was not honest, reliable, or trustworthy,

and that she had omitted significant

information from a Questionnaire for

Sensitive Positions. The Hearing Officer

also found that there were no mitigating
10078 Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 36 / Thursday, February 23, 1995 / Notices

factors present in the case which can

overcome the security concerns raised

by the Department of Energy.

Accordingly, the Hearing Officer found

that the individual’s access

authorization, which had been

suspended, should not be restored.

Refund Applications

Hunt-Wesson, Inc., Hunt-Wesson, Inc.,

Waterloo Industries, Aristokraft,

Inc., Playtex Products, 12/23/94,

RF272–73865, RD272–73865,

RF272–97916, RF272–97941,

RF272–98638

The DOE issued a Decision and Order

concerning Application for Refund

submitted in the Subpart V crude oil

refund proceeding by four former

affiliates of Beatrice Co., Inc. HuntWesson, Inc., Waterloo Industries,

Aristokraft, Inc., and Playtex Products.

The four applicants were found to have

been affiliated with Arrowhead

Drinking Water Company (Arrowhead)

on August 7, 1986. Arrowhead had filed

in the Surface Transporters Stripper

Well proceeding. In doing so,

Arrowhead had executed a waiver and

release waiving its rights and the rights

of its affiliates on August 7, 1986, to

receive crude oil overcharge refunds.

Accordingly, the DOE denied these four

Applications for Refund. Because the

DOE denied these Applications, the

DOE also dismissed as moot a Motion

for Discovery filed by a consortium of

States and two Territories to HuntWesson, Inc.’s Application for Refund.

Texaco Inc./Carlton Hills Texaco,

Harry’s Texaco, 12/23/94, RF321–

20424, RF321–21044

Dale Fuller filed an Application for

Refund in the Texaco, Inc. special

refund proceeding on behalf of a retail

outlet located on Carlton Hills

Boulevard in Santee, California. Mr.

Fuller’s claimed dates of ownership

conflicted with the dates claimed by

Harry Orsulak, in Case No. RF321–

18438, redesignated Case No. RF321–

21044, and another applicant Mitchel

Carter, in Case No. RF321–9802, both of

whom had previously received refunds

for purchases made by that outlet. The

OHA determined that Mr. Orsulak was

not entitled to the refund which he

received for purchases made by the

Carlton Hills outlet beginning in March

1973. In addition, the OHA determined

that Mr. Fuller was eligible for a refund

for the purchases made from March

1973 through November 1976, when Mr.

Carter assured operation of the outlet.

The OHA issued a Supplemental

Decision and Order, granting Mr.

Fuller’s Application for Refund for the

period March 1973 through November

1976, and instructing Mr. Orsulak to

repay his refund.

Texaco Inc./Guttman Oil Company, 12/

20/94, RF321–17026

Guttman Oil Company (Guttman)

filed an Application for Refund in the

Texaco Inc. special refund proceeding.

Rather than accept $50,000, the

maximum refund under the mediumrange presumption of injury, Guttman

attempted to show that it was injured in

its purchases of Texaco products. With

respect to motor gasoline, Guttman

sought a refund of 43 percent of the

volumetric amount based upon a claim

that it absorbed that percentage of the

overcharges. Guttman sought an abovevolumetric refund with respect to its

diesel fuel purchases based upon a

disproportionate overcharge.

The DOE rejected Guttman’s

contention that lower than historical

profit margins in its resale of motor

gasoline implied that it was injured. The

DOE noted that Guttman’s profit margin

analysis showed little more than its

bank calculations and that depressed

profit margins could have resulted from

causes unrelated to the price it paid

Texaco for product.

The DOE agreed with Guttman that it

had sustained a disproportionate

overcharge based upon the findings of a

Remedial Order that had been issued to

Texaco concerning diesel fuel

transactions. The DOE, however, found

that Guttman’s calculation of banked

costs had to be adjusted to take into

account the findings in another

Remedial Order that had been issued to

it. A revised bank calculation showed

that in September 1975, Guttman had a

bank of unrecovered product costs of

$1,949, but that subsequent to that

month the firm had a sufficient bank to

justify the overcharge claims. This

indicated that the firm had passed

through to its customers all but $1,949

of the diesel fuel overcharges that

occurred through September 1975. The

DOE found that Guttman had absorbed

$67,095 in diesel fuel overcharges

between September 1975 and June 1976,

and that Guttman was entitled to presettlement interest (for the period

between the date of the overcharge and

the date Texaco paid the settlement to

DOE) on this amount. Since the Texaco

consent order settled the alleged

violations at a fraction of their value, the

DOE reduced the resulting overcharge

amount to 57.5 percent (the ratio of the

consent order amount to the total

overcharges that had been alleged by

DOE). Guttman was accordingly granted

a refund of $160,645, plus interest that

has accrued on this amount since the

Texaco funds were placed in an escrow

account.
