Case No. RC272-00412

March 13, 2001

DECISION AND ORDER

OF THE DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Supplemental Order

Name of Petitioner:National Transportation Service

Date of Filing: Februrary 23, 2001

Case Number: RC272-412

On July 15, 1998, the Office of Hearings and Appeals (OHA) issued a Decision and Order granting a refund of $3,173 to National Transportation Service, Inc., (National) in the Department of Energy's (DOE) Subpart V crude oil refund proceeding. See National Transportation Service, Case No. RF272- 94513 (July 15, 1998).

The refund check was made payable to National Transportation Service, Inc., and sent to P.O. Box 6549, Marietta, GA 30065. 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 National without success. In view of these circumstances, we have determined that the refund issued to National should be rescinded.

It Is Therefore Ordered That:

(1) The Decision and Order issued by the DOE on July 15, 1998, National Transportation Service, Case No. RF272-94513 (National), is hereby rescinded, and redesignated as RC272-412.

(2) Notwithstanding our directive in National, 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 $3,173 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.
