Supplemental Order

Name of Applicant: Prairie Sand & Gravel, Inc.

Date of Filing: May 18, 1998

Case Number: RK272-4814

This Decision and Order will consider an Application for Supplemental Refund filed in the Subpart V crude oil refund proceeding.(1)

Prairie Sand & Gravel, Inc., (Prairie) is receiving a supplemental refund check. In this case, we were informed that there had been a change of circumstances since the original refund was disbursed. Accordingly, we set up a new case file (designated RK272-4814).(2) We then investigated whether the individual or firm upon whose behalf the form was submitted was the proper party to receive the supplemental refund. On the basis of that investigation, we have determined that Prairie is the proper recipient for the supplemental refund.

In accordance with the Applicants' instructions, we will direct the refund check to the address listed below. Prairie will receive a supplemental refund in the amount of $693 based on purchases of 866,497 gallons of petroleum products.

It Is Therefore Ordered That:

(1) The Director of Special Accounts and Payroll, Office of Departmental Accounting and Financial Systems Development, Office of the Controller of the Department of Energy shall take appropriate action to disburse a supplemental refund in the amount of $693 to:

Prairie Sand & Gravel, Inc.

(2) The funds shall be disbursed from the escrow fund denominated Crude Tracking-Claimants 4, Account No. 999DOE010Z, maintained at the Department of the Treasury.

(3) To facilitate the payment of future refunds, the Applicant shall notify the Office of Hearings and Appeals in the event that there is a change of address, or if an address correction is necessary. Such notification shall be sent to:
