BILLING CODE 6717–01–M

Office of Hearings and Appeals

Proposed Implementation of Special

Refund Procedures

AGENCY: Office of Hearings and Appeals,

Department of Energy.

ACTION: Notice of proposed

implementation of special refund

procedures.

SUMMARY: The Office of Hearings and

Appeals (OHA) of the Department of

Energy (DOE) announces the proposed

procedures for disbursement of

$866,352.24, plus accrued interest, in

refined petroleum product violation

amounts obtained by the DOE pursuant

to Consent Orders issued to Bell Fuels,

Inc., et al., Case Nos. LEF–0061, et al.

In the absence of sufficient information

to implement direct restitution to

injured customers of the consenting

firms, the OHA has tentatively

determined that if no such customers

come forward, the funds obtained from

these firms, plus accrued interest, will

be made available to state governments

for use in four energy conservation

programs.

DATES AND ADDRESSES: Comments must

be filed in duplicate on or before May

15, 1995, and should be addressed to

the Office of Hearings and Appeals,

Department of Energy, 1000

Independence Ave., S.W., Washington,

DC 20585. All comments should display

a reference to the appropriate case

number.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Thomas O. Mann, Deputy Director,

Roger Klurfeld, Assistant Director,

Office of Hearings and Appeals, 1000

Independence Avenue SW.,

Washington, D.C. 20585, (202) 586–2094

(Mann); 586–2383 (Klurfeld).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In

accordance with 10 CFR 205.282(b),

notice is hereby given of the issuance of

the Proposed Decision and Order set out

below. The Proposed Decision and

Order sets forth the procedures that the

DOE has tentatively formulated to

distribute $866,352.24, plus accrued

interest, obtained by the DOE pursuant

to Consent Orders issued to eighteen

resellers and retailers of refined

petroleum products. The Consent

Orders settled DOE allegations that,

during periods between 1973 and 1981,

the firms had sold certain refined

petroleum products at prices in excess

of the maximum lawful selling price, in

violation of Federal petroleum price

regulations. The names of the firms,

their case numbers, the dates of the

settlement periods, the products

covered by each Consent Order, and the

amounts received from each firm are set

forth in the Appendix to the Proposed

Decision.

Since it lacks sufficient information to

implement a standard first-stage refund

process, the OHA has tentatively

determined to make all of the funds

obtained from the firms available for

indirect restitution in accordance with

the provisions of the Petroleum

Overcharge Distribution and Restitution

Act of 1986 (PODRA), 15 U.S.C. 4501–

07. The funds will be distributed to state

governments for use in four energy

conservation programs. Before making

the funds available to the states,

however, the OHA will accept refund

claims from any injured customers of

the consenting firms who come forward

and will devise refund procedures based

on the information these applicants

provide.

Any member of the public may

submit written comments regarding the

proposed refund procedures.

Commenting parties are requested to

provide two copies of their submissions.

Comments must be submitted within 30
