DECISION AND ORDER

OF THE DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Supplemental Order

Name of Petitioner: Geraldine Koren

Date of Filing: July 25, 2000

Case Number: RC272-00408

On December 2, 1999, the Office of Hearings and Appeals (OHA) issued a Decision and Order granting Geraldine Koren (Case No. RF272-89831) a refund of $34 in the crude oil refund proceeding. See Peninsular Meat Co., Inc., et al., Case No. RF272-76661 et al. The refund check was made payable to Geraldine Koren, 38 Le Grande Terrace, Wayne, New Jersey 07470. However, this Office has been notified that the check was undeliverable. Since that notice, the OHA has since attempted to contact Geraldine Koren without success. In view of these circumstances, we have determined that the refund issued to Geraldine Koren should be rescinded.

It Is Therefore Ordered That:

(1) The Decision and Order issued by the DOE on December 2, 1999, Peninsular Meat Co., Inc., et al., Case No. RF272-76661 et al., is hereby rescinded as to Geraldine Koren, Case No. RF272-89831, redesignated RC272-00408.

(2) Notwithstanding our directive in Peninsular Meat Co., Inc., 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 $34 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.
