OF THE DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Supplemental Order
Name of Applicant: W.E. Bartholow & Son Construction
Date of Filing: November 4, 1996
Case Number : RJ272-26
On October 21, 1996, the Office of Hearings and Appeals (OHA) of the Department of Energy issued a Decision and Order granting supplemental crude oil refunds to 28 applicants. W.E. Bartholow & Son Construction,Case Nos. RK272-1406 et al. (October 21, 1996). In that Decision and Order, the OHA granted Ruth Bartholow Betts, Case No. RK272-1406, a refund of $4, based on purchases of 5,423 gallons of refined petroleum products.
The OHA recently discovered that the figure of 5,423 gallons, on which the refund was based, was incorrect. The applicant's actual purchases totaled 6,653,805 gallons of refined petroleum products. Due to an error, the applicant's gallonage was decreased to 5,423 gallons. Therefore, the OHA will modify the Decision made in W.E. Bartholow & Son Construction, with respect to Ruth Bartholow Betts (Case No. RK272-1406). The refund approved on October 21, 1996 has not yet been disbursed. The OHA will revise Ruth Bartholow Bett's gallonage claim to 6,653,805 and issue a refund check in the amount of $5,423 based on the correct purchase figure.

(1) The Decision and Order issued by the DOE on October 21, 1996, to W.E. Bartholow & Son Construction, jnis hereby modified as to Ruth Bartholow Betts (Case No. RK272-1406).
