RC272-00389
April 14, 1998
DECISION AND ORDER
OF THE DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Supplemental Order
Name of Petitioner: Union County, NJ
Date of Filing: April 14, 1998
Case Number: RC272-00389
On April 1, 1998, the Office of Hearings and Appeals (OHA) of the Department of Energy (DOE) issued a Decision and Order granting refunds to 12 applicants in the crude oil refund proceeding. See American Aggregates, Corp. et al., Case Nos. RF272-76986 et al. (April 1, 1998). In that Decision, the DOE granted Union County, NJ, (Case No. RF272-96417 now designated RC272-00389), a refund of $82,844 based on purchases of 51,777,707 gallons of petroleum products. The refund check was made payable to Union County, NJ c/o Janis Lisa, and sent to Cnty Admin. Bldg., Elizabeth, NJ 07207.
However, it has recently been bought to our attention, that Union Countys refund should have been based upon 5,177,707 gallons of refined petroleum products. Unions share of the crude oil fund based upon its corrected purchase volume is $8,284 (5,177,707 x $0.0016). The refund granted in the April 1, 1998 Decision and Order has not yet been disbursed to this applicant. Accordingly, we will order that the refund amount granted to Union County, NJ be decreased to $8,284.
It Is Therefore Ordered That:
(1) The Decision and Order issued by the DOE on April 1, 1998, American Aggregates, Corp. et al., Case Nos., RF272-76986 et al., is hereby modified as to Union County, NJ, Case No. RF272-96417, redesignated as RC272-00389.
(2) Notwithstanding our directive in American Aggregates Corp. et al., 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 disburse from
the DOE deposit fund escrow account funded by Crude Tracking- Claimants IV, Account Number 999DOE010Z, $8,284 to:
Union County, NJ
c/o Janis Lisa
County Admin. Bldg.
Elizabeth, NJ 07207
(3) This is a final Order of the Department of Energy.
