Case No. RJ272-00038

February 14, 1997

DECISION AND ORDER

OF THE DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Supplemental Order

Name of Applicant: Norman Storlie

Date of Filing: February 11, 1997

Case Number : RJ272-38

On September 6, 1995, the Office of Hearings and Appeals (OHA) of the Department of Energy (DOE) issued a Decision and Order granting a $128 supplemental refund to Norman Storlie. Crude Oil Supplemental Refund Distribution, Case No. RB272-45 (September 6, 1995). The refund check was made payable to Norman Storlie and sent to Rt. 1, Box 72, Sisseton, SD 57262. However, the refund check was undeliverable by the U.S. Postal Service and was returned to the U.S. Treasury. The check has been cancelled by the Treasury and the funds credited back to the Petroleum Pricing Violation Escrow Fund.

The OHA has made every effort to locate Mr. Storlie, but we have been unable to obtain a correct address for him. In view of these circumstances, we have determined that the refund issued to Norman Storlie should be rescinded.

It Is Therefore Ordered That:

(1) The Decision and Order issued by the DOE on September 5, 1995, Crude Oil Supplemental Refund Distribution, is hereby rescinded as to Norman Storlie, Case No. RF272-06714, redesignated as RJ272-38.

(2) Notwithstanding our directive in Crude Oil Supplemental Refund Distribution (September 5, 1995), the Director of Special Accounts and Payroll, Office of Departmental Accounting and Financial Systems Development, Office of the Controller of the Department of Energy shall redeposit the funds in the amount of $128 in the DOE deposit fund escrow account maintained at the Department of the Treasury, Crude Tracking-Claimants IV, Account No. 999DOE010Z.

(3) This is a final Order of the Department of Energy.
