February 3, 2003

DECISION AND ORDER

OF THE DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Supplemental Order

Name of Petitioner:Oglethorpe County Board of Commissioners

Date of Filing:January 31, 2003

Case Number: RC272-00425

On January 30, 2003, the Office of Hearings and Appeals (OHA) issued a Decision and Order granting a refund of $ 1,781 to Oglethorpe County Board of Commissioners (Oglethorpe), Case No. RF272-96218, in the Department of Energy's Subpart V crude oil refund proceeding. See Crow Creek Res. School, et al., Case Nos. RF272-82506, et al. (January 30, 2003).

It has since come to our attention that Case No. RF272-96218 was a duplicate of a refund claim previously granted to Oglethorpe in Case No. RF272-93784. In view of these circumstances, we have determined that the refund issued to Oglethorpe in Case No. RF272-96218 should be rescinded.

It Is Therefore Ordered That:

(1) The Decision and Order issued by the DOE on January 30, 2003, Oglethorpe County Board of Commissioners, Case No. RF272-96218 (Oglethorpe), is hereby rescinded, and redesignated as RC272-00425.

(2) Notwithstanding our directive in Oglethorpe, the Team Leader, Financial Control Team, Office of Managment, Budget & Evaluation, of the Department of Energy shall deposit the funds in the amount of $1,781 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.
