RJ272-00081

On July 15, 1999, the Office of Hearings and Appeals (OHA) issued a Decision and Order granting Dee Johnson (Case No. RK272-3486) and Thrifty Corp. (Case No. RK272-3449) supplemental refunds in the crude oil refund proceeding. See Joe L. Ward, Co., et al., Case No. RK272-03157 et al. The refund check made payable to Dee Johnson was in the amount of $457 and the refund check made payable to Thrifty Payless, Inc. was in the amount of $9,585. However, this Office has been notified that the checks were undeliverable. Since that notice, the OHA has since attempted to contact these applicants without success. In view of these circumstances, we have determined that the refunds issued to Dee Johnson and Thrifty Payless, Inc. should be rescinded.

It Is Therefore Ordered That:

(1) The Decision and Order issued by the DOE on July 15, 1999, Joe L. Ward, Co., et al., Case No. RK272-03157 et al., is hereby rescinded as to Dee Johnson, Case No. RK272-3486, redesignated RJ272-00080 and Thrifty Corp., Case No. RF272-3449, redesignated as RJ272-00081.

(2) Notwithstanding our directive in Joe L. Ward, Co., et al., 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 $10,042 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.
