Case No. RA272-00085

December 14, 2000

DECISION AND ORDER

OF THE DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Supplemental Order

Name of Petitioner:Ameripol Synpol Corporation

Date of Filing: December 11, 2000

Case Number: RA272-85

On November 8, 2000, the Office of Hearings and Appeals (OHA) of the Department of Energy (DOE) issued a Decision and Order which granted the application of Ameripol Synpol Corporation (ASC) in the Subpart V crude oil refund proceeding. See Ameripol Synpol Corporation, Case No. RF272-61725 (November 8, 2000). We have subsequently discovered that the purchase volume approved in the November 8 Decision was incorrect. The correct volume approved should have been 677,428,449 gallons, instead of the volume we approved, 635,055,405 gallons. Accordingly, we find that ASC is eligible to receive a supplemental refund based upon an additional 42,373,044 gallons. As stated in the November 8 Decision, ASC's allocable share will be based on its total purchases (in gallons) of petroleum products, multiplied by the volumetric factor of $0.0016. Thus, ASC’s supplemental refund will be $67,797 (42,373,044 gallons multiplied by the volumetric factor $0.0016).

It Is Therefore Ordered That:

(1) The Decision and Order issued by the Department of Energy on November 8, 2000, Ameripol Synpol Corporation, Case No. RF272-61725, is hereby modified as set forth in Paragraph (2) below.

(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 an additional $67,797 from the DOE deposit fund escrow account maintained at the Department of the Treasury denominated Crude Tracking- Claimants 4, Account No. 999DOE010Z, to Ameripol Synpol Corporation at the following address:

(3) The determination made in this Decision and Order is based upon the presumed validity of the statements and documentary material submitted by the applicant. This determination may be revoked or modified at any time upon a finding that the basis underlying the refund application is incorrect.

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