DECISION AND ORDER
OF THE DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Supplemental Order
Name of Petitioner:Koros Holding Corp.
Date of Filing: August 9, 2002
Case Number: RJ272-00093
On March 11, 1996, the Office of Hearings and Appeals (OHA) issued a Decision and Order granting a refund of $401 to Koros Holding Corp. (Koros) in the Department of Energy's Subpart V crude oil refund proceeding. See Tmbr/Sharp Drilling, Inc., et al., Case No. RK272-02642 (March 11, 1996).
The refund check was made payable to Koros Holding Corp., and sent to 30 Daniel Low Terrace, Staten Island, NY. Because the check was not cashed, it was canceled by the U.S. Treasury in accordance with limited payability laws. The OHA has since attempted to contact Koros without success. In view of these circumstances, we have determined that the refund issued to Koros should be rescinded.
It Is Therefore Ordered That:
(1) The Decision and Order issued by the DOE on March 11, 1996, to Koros Holding Corp., Case No. RK272-02642, is hereby rescinded, and redesignated as RJ272-00093.
(2) Notwithstanding our directive in Tmbr/Sharp Drilling, Inc., et al., the Team Leader, Financial Control Team, of the Department of Energy shall deposit the funds in the amount of $401 in the escrow fund denominated Crude Tracking-Claimants IV, Account No. 999DOE010Z, maintained at the Department of Treasury.
(3) This is a final Order of the Department of Energy.
