DECISION AND ORDER
OF THE DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Supplemental Order
Name of Petitioner: Alaska International Airlines
Date of Filing: July 5, 1994
Case No.: RC272-00407
On June 12, 2000, the Office of Hearings and Appeals (OHA) of the Department of Energy (DOE) issued a Decision and Order granting refunds to nine applicants. The Forester Company, Case Nos. RF272-56508, et al. (June 12, 2000). In that Decision, the DOE granted Alaska International Airlines (Case No. RF272-98876) a refund of $185,570 based on the firm's petroleum products purchases. The refund check was made payable to Alaska International Airlines, c/o Jerry Beeler, and sent to P. O. Box 91392, Anchorage, AK 99509-1392. However, it has come to our attention that Alaska International Airlines is a predecessor of Markair, Inc. Markair, Inc., is currently in Chapter 7 bankruptcy. We have been informed by the Trustee for Markair that Mr. Beeler has no known connection with the bankruptcy estate. In view of these circumstances, we have determined that the refund issued to Alaska International Airlines should be rescinded.
It Is Therefore Ordered That:
(1) The Decision and Order issued by the DOE on June 12, 2000, The Forester Company, et al., Case Nos., RF272-56508, et al., is hereby rescinded as to Alaska International Airlines, Case No. RF272-98876.
(2) Notwithstanding our directive in The Forester Company, et al., 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 not issue a check in the amount of $185,570 to Alaska International Airlines
(3) This is a final Order of the Department of Energy.
