Date of Filings: August 22, 2000

Case Nos.: RF304-15532

RF304-15533

On December 11, 1997, the Office of Hearings and Appeals (OHA) issued a Decision and Order granting refunds to 47 applicants in the ARCO proceeding. See Atlantic Richfield Company/Jerome Zielinski, et al., (Case Nos. RF304-15200 et al.). In that Decision, the DOE granted A&A Arco, Case No. RF304-15256, a refund of $328 ($160 principal plus $168 interest) and John’s Arco, Case No. RF304-15205, a refund of $621 ($302 principal plus $319 interest), respectively, for their purchases of petroleum products. The total refund amount granted was $949. However, the refund checks made payable to those Applicants were undeliverable. The OHA has since attempted to contact those applicants without success. In view of these circumstances, we have determined that the refunds issued to those applicants should be rescinded.

It Is Therefore Ordered That:

(1) The Decision and Order issued by the DOE on December 11, 1997, Atlantic Richfield Company/Jerome Zielinski, et al., Case Nos. RF304- 15200 et al., is hereby rescinded as to A&A Arco, Case No. RF304-1525, redesignated as RF304-15532 and John’s Arco, Case No. RF304-15205, redesignated as RF304-15533.

(2) Notwithstanding our directive in Atlantic Richfield Company/Jerome Zielinski, 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 $949 in the escrow fund denominated Atlantic Richfield Company, (Consent Order No. RARH00001Z), maintained at the Department of Treasury.

(3) This is a final Order of the Department of Energy.
