March 13, 2001

DECISION AND ORDER

OF THE DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Supplemental Order

Name of Petitioner:Leader Dyeing & Finishing Co.

Date of Filing:February 23, 2001

Case Number: RJ272-00083

On September 11, 1995, the Office of Hearings and Appeals (OHA) of the Department of Energy (DOE) issued a Supplemental Order granting Leader Dyeing & Finishing Co. a supplemental refund of $1,825 in the crude oil refund proceeding based on its original refund in Case No. RF272-45355. Crude Oil Supplemental Refund Distribution, Case No. RB272-40. The refund check was made payable to Leader Dyeing & Finishing Co. and sent to 94 Madison Ave., P.O. Box 2093, Paterson, NJ 07509. 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 Leader Dyeing & Finishing Co. without success. In view of these circumstances, we have determined that the refund issued to Leader Dyeing & Finishing Co. should be rescinded.

It Is Therefore Ordered That:

(1) The Decision and Order issued by the DOE on September 11, 1995, Crude Oil Supplemental Refund Distribution, Case No. RB272-40, is hereby rescinded as to Leader Dyeing & Finishing Co., Case No. RF272-45355, redesignated Case No. RJ272-00083.

(2) Notwithstanding our directive in Crude Oil Supplemental Refund Distribution, Case No. RB272- 40, 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 $1,825 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.
