DECISION AND ORDER

OF THE DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Supplemental Order

Name of Petitioner:Kleeb Well Drilling & Trucking

Date of Filing:March 30, 2001

Case Number: RJ272-00084

On September 11, 1997, the Office of Hearings and Appeals (OHA) of the Department of Energy (DOE) issued a Supplemental Order granting Kleeb Well Drilling & Trucking a supplemental refund of $100 in the crude oil refund proceeding based on its original refund in Case No. RF272-34074. Crude Oil Supplemental Refund Distribution, Case No. RB272-117. The refund check was made payable to Kleeb Well Drilling & Trucking and sent to Stewart Kleeb, HCR 72, Box 28, Sargent, NE 68874. Because the check was not cashed, it was canceled by the U.S. Treasury in accordance with limited payability laws. The OHA has since attempted to contact Kleeb Well Drilling & Trucking without success. In view of these circumstances, we have determined that the refund issued to Kleeb Well Drilling & Trucking should be rescinded.

It Is Therefore Ordered That:

(1) The Decision and Order issued by the DOE on September 11, 1997, Crude Oil Supplemental Refund Distribution, Case No. RB272-117, is hereby rescinded as to Kleeb Well Drilling & Trucking, Case No. RF272-34074, redesignated Case No. RJ272-00084.

(2) Notwithstanding our directive in Crude Oil Supplemental Refund Distribution, Case No. RB272- 117, the Team Leader, Special Accounts Team, Office of Financial Control and Reporting, of the Department of Energy shall deposit the funds in the amount of $100 in the escrow fund denominated Crude Tracking-Claimants IV, Account No. 999DOE010Z, maintained at the Department of Treasury.

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