Case No. RF304-15526
October 30, 2000
DECISION AND ORDER
OF THE DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Supplemental Order
Name of Petitioner: ARCO/Inc.
Neils Arco
Date of Filing: July 25, 2000
Case No.: RF304-15526
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 Neils Arco, Case Nos. RF304-15220 thru 15222, refunds of $292, $289, and $1,016 respectively, for purchases of petroleum products. Each refund granted included the principal amount plus interest. However, the refund checks made payable to that Applicant were undeliverable. The OHA has since attempted to contact the applicant without success. In view of these circumstances, we have determined that the refunds issued to Neils Arco should be rescinded.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 RF304- 15200 et al., is hereby rescinded as to Neils Arco, Case Nos. RF304- 15220 thru 15222, redesignated as RF304-15526.
(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 $1,597 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.
