Case No. RJ272-00044
June 20, 1997
DECISION AND ORDER
OF THE DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Supplemental Order
Name of Petitioner: Rockwell Drilling Company
Date of Filing: May 30, 1997
Case Number: RJ272-00044
On April 4, 1997, the Office of Hearings and Appeals (OHA) of the Department of Energy (DOE) issued a Supplemental Order granting crude oil supplemental refunds to 74 applicants. Crude Oil Supplemental Refund Distribution, Case No. RB272-00105 (April 4, 1997). In that Decision, the DOE granted Rockwell Drilling Company (Case No. RF272-29008), a supplemental refund of $700. The refund check was made payable to Rockwell Drilling Co., c/o Clark Watkins, and sent to 1905 Fountain View, Edmond, Oklahoma 73013. However, the refund check was returned to the Office of Hearings and Appeals, because the owner Clark Watkins, is deceased and the company is dissolved. We are in the process of determining who may be eligible for the refund in this case. In view of these circumstances, we have determined that the supplemental refund issued to Rockwell Drilling Company should be rescinded.
It Is Therefore Ordered That:
(1) The Decision and Order issued by the DOE on April 4, 1997, Crude Oil Supplemental Refund Distribution, Case No. RB272-00105 is hereby rescinded as to Rockwell Drilling Co, Case No. RF272-29008.
(2) Notwithstanding our directive in Crude Oil Supplemental Refund Distribution, RB272-00105, 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 amount of $700 back into the DOE deposit fund escrow account maintained at the Department of the Treasury and funded by Crude Tracking-Claimants 4, Account No. 999DOE010Z.
(3) This is a final Order of the Department of Energy.
