On August 3, 1995, the Office of Hearings and Appeals (OHA) of the Department of Energy (DOE) issued a Decision and Order granting refunds to five applicants in the Texaco Inc. special refund proceeding. Beal's Texaco et al., Case Nos. RF321-11266 et al. (August 3, 1995). In that Decision and Order, the OHA granted Hilliard Penry, Case No. RF321-16248, a refund of $263 ($177 principal plus $86 interest) based on purchases of 160,820 gallons of refined petroleum products by Penry's Texaco, a service station that Mr. Penry had operated.
The DOE Office of the Controller has informed the OHA that the $263 check issued to Mr. Penry was returned to the U.S. Treasury by the U.S. Postal Service since it was undeliverable at the address indicated in the Decision and Order. The check has been cancelled by the Treasury and the funds deposited into the Texaco Inc. escrow account, Consent Order No. RTXE006A1Z. In a letter dated November 6, 1996, Joanna Penry, daughter of Hilliard Penry, informed this Office that her father was deceased. She further stated that she and her brother, William Penry, were her father's only surviving heirs.
Consequently, the $263 refund granted to Hilliard Penry shall be reissued to William Penry and Joanna Penry.
