Case No. RJ272-00040
March 21, 1997
DECISION AND ORDER
OF THE DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Supplemental Order
Name of Applicant: Gerald Wright
Date of Filing: March 10, 1997
Case Number : RJ272-40
On July 11, 1995, the Office of Hearings and Appeals (OHA) of the Department of Energy (DOE) issued a Decision and Order granting a $198 supplemental refund to Gerald Wright. Crude Oil Supplemental Refund Distribution, Case No. RB272-7 (July 11, 1995). The refund check was made payable to Gerald Wright and sent to RR2, 245 Irish Lane, Washington, IL 61731. 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. Wright, 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 In view of these circumstances, we have determined that the refund issued to Gerald Wright should be rescinded.
It Is Therefore Ordered That:
(1) The Decision and Order issued by the DOE on July 11, 1995, Crude Oil Supplemental Refund Distribution, Case No. RB272-7, is hereby rescinded as to Gerald Wright, Case No. RF272-19634, redesignated as RJ272-40.
(2) Notwithstanding our directive in Crude Oil Supplemental Refund Distribution (July 11, 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 $198 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.
