DECISION AND ORDER

OF THE DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Supplemental Order

Name of Petitioner:Elmer Jensen

Date of Filing:June 21, 2001

Case Number: RJ272-00085

On January 12, 2000, the Office of Hearings and Appeals (OHA) of the Department of Energy (DOE) issued a Supplemental Order granting Elmer Jensen a supplemental refund of $142 in the crude oil refund proceeding based on its original refund in Case No. RF272-56437. Crude Oil Supplemental Refund Distribution, Case No. RB272-161. The refund check was made payable to Elmer Jensen and sent to PO Box 833, Inverness, MT 59530. 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 Elmer Jensen without success. In view of these circumstances, we have determined that the refund issued to Elmer Jensen should be rescinded.

It Is Therefore Ordered That:

(1) The Decision and Order issued by the DOE on January 12, 2000, Crude Oil Supplemental Refund Distribution, Case No. RB272-161, is hereby rescinded as to Elmer Jensen, Case No. RF272-56437, redesignated Case No. RJ272-00085.

(2) Notwithstanding our directive in Crude Oil Supplemental Refund Distribution, Case No. RB272- 161, 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 $142 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.
