DECISION AND ORDER
OF THE DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Supplemental Order
Name of Petitioner:Estoll Corporation
Date of Filing:September 2, 2003
Case Number: RC272-00432
On August 10, 1999, the Office of Hearings and Appeals (OHA) of the Department of Energy (DOE) issued a Decision and Order granting Estoll Corporation (Estoll) a $227 supplemental crude oil overcharge refund in Case No. RK272-05255. See Tynans Nissan, Inc., Case No. RK272-05198 et. al (August 10, 1999). The refund check was made payable to Estoll Corporation and sent to P.O. Box 1882, Odessa, TX 79760. Because the check was not cashed, it was canceled by the U.S. Treasury in accordance with limited payability laws.
The OHA then attempted to locate Estoll Corporation but could not find its current address. OHA then sent the firm a certified letter, which was returned as unclaimed. In view of these circumstances, we have determined that the refund issued to Estoll Corporation should be rescinded.
It Is Therefore Ordered That:
(1) The Decision and Order issued by the DOE on August 10, 1999, Tynans Nissan, Inc., Case No. RK272-05198 et. al (August 10, 1999), is hereby rescinded with respect to Estoll Corporation, Case No. RK272-05255 (now redesignated Case No. RC272-00432).
(2) Notwithstanding our directive in Tynans Nissan, Inc., Case No. RK272-05198 et. al (August 10, 1999), the Team Leader, Special Accounts Team, Office of Financial Control and Reporting, of the Department of Energy shall deposit the funds in the amount of $227 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.
