DECISION AND ORDER
OF THE DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Supplemental Order
Name of Applicant: Coltrans, Inc.
Date of Filing: July 14, 1997
Case Number : RA272-78
On July 8, 1997, the Office of Hearings and Appeals (OHA) of the Department of Energy issued a Decision and Order granting crude oil refunds to eight applicants. Arch Mineral Corp., Case Nos. RG272-503 et al. (July 8, 1997). In that Decision and Order, the OHA granted Coltrans, Inc., Case No. RG272-569, a refund of $2,756 based on purchases of 1,722,725 gallons of refined petroleum products.
The OHA recently discovered that the figure of 1,722,725 gallons, on which the refund was based, is incorrect. The applicant's actual purchases totaled 32,497,856 gallons of refined petroleum products. The refund check has not yet been issued. Therefore, we will increase Coltrans' approved gallonage to 32,497,856 gallons and issue a refund check in the amount of $51,997 (32,497,856 x $0.0016).
It Is Therefore Ordered That:
(1) The Decision and Order issued by the DOE on July 8, 1997, Arch Mineral Corp. et al., is hereby modified as to Coltrans, Inc. (Case No. RG272-569, redesignated as RA272-78).
(2) 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 take appropriate action to disburse $51,997 from the DOE deposit escrow fund denominated Crude-Tracking Claimants IV, Account No. 999DOE010Z, maintained at the Department of the Treasury, to:
