DECISION AND ORDER

OF THE DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Supplemental Order

Names of Applicants: Transco Exploration Co., et al.

Date of Filings: December 28, 1995, et al.

Case Numbers: RK272-03456, et al.

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

The Appendix to this Decision and Order contains the names of nineteen Applicants receiving these supplemental refund checks. In each of these cases, 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-).(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 the parties listed in the Appendix are the proper recipients for those supplemental refunds.

In accordance with the Applicants' instructions, we will direct the refund checks to the addresses listed in the Appendix. The total amount of additional refunds being approved in this Order for the benefit of nineteen Applicants is $81,903.

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 to each Crude Oil Refund Recipient set forth in the Appendix to this Order. The total refund amount approved in this Order, for the benefit of nineteen applicants, is $81,903.

(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) Each Applicant shall receive a refund in the amount specified in the attached Appendix. The appropriate address to which each check should be sent is also included in the Appendix.

(4) To facilitate the payment of future refunds, an 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:

Director of Management Information

Office of Hearings and Appeals

Department of Energy

Washington, D.C. 20585-0107

(5) Any conditions that applied to an Applicant's receipt of the initial crude oil refund shall also apply to that Applicant's receipt of this supplemental refund.

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