Case No. RC272-00358
January 7, 1997
DECISION AND ORDER
OF THE DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Supplemental Order
Names of Applicant: Wetz Transportation
Date of Filing: June 5, 1991
Case Number: RC272-358
On August 7, 1996, the Office of Hearings and Appeals (OHA) of the Department of Energy issued a Decision and Order granting Subpart V crude oil refunds to 19 applicants. Malone Brothers' Construction, Case Nos. RF272-87022, et al., (August 7, 1996). In that Decision and Order the OHA granted Wetz Transportation, Case No. RF272-89388, a refund of $6,449 based on its purchases of 4,030,643 gallons of refined petroleum products.
The OHA was recently informed by the Applicant's representative that the figure of 4,030,643 gallons, on which the refund was based, was incorrect. The correct figure should be 3,129,832 gallons. Therefore, the OHA will modify the Decision made in Malone Brothers' Construction with respect to Wetz Transportation (Case No. RF272-89388). The OHA will revise Wetz Transportation's approved gallonage claim to 3,129,832 gallons. The correct refund amount is $5,008 (3,129,832 x 0.0016) a difference of $1,441 ($6,449 - $5,008 = $1,441). A check in that amount has been returned to the DOE by Wetz Transportation's representative.
It Is Therefore Ordered That:
(1) The Decision and Order issued by the Department of Energy on August 7, 1996, Malone Brothers' Construction, is hereby modified as to Wetz Transportation (Case No. RF272-89388).
(2) 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 deposit these funds into the deposit fund escrow account maintained at the Department of the Treasury denominated Crude Tracking-Claimants IV, Account No. 999DOE010Z.
(3) The Office of Hearings and Appeals shall modify the approved volume claim for Wetz Transportation (Case No. RF272-89388) in the OHA database from 4,030,643 gallons to 3,129,832 gallons.
(4) This is a final Order of the Department of Energy.
