Case No. RF315-10288

September 29, 1999

 

DECISION AND ORDER

OF THE DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Supplemental Order

Name of Petitioner:            Shell Oil Company/Domingo Cardona Moreno

Date of Filing:            September 24, 1999

Case Number:            RF315-10288

On July 20, 1993, the Office of Hearings and Appeals (OHA) of the Department of Energy (DOE) issued a Decision and Order granting refunds to three applicants.  Shell Oil Company/Domingo Cardona Moreno et al., Case Nos. RF315-09327 et al. (July 26, 1993).  In that Decision, the DOE granted Domingo Cardona Moreno a refund of $1,172 ($783 principal plus $389 interest) based on his purchases of 3,462,774 gallons Shell refined petroleum products.  The refund check was made payable to Domingo Cardona Moreno and sent in care of Max Lucena to the Asociacion de Detallistas de Gasolina de Pueto Rico, P.O. Box 3652, San Juan, Puerto Rico, 00919-3652.  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 Mr. Lucena without success.  In view of these circumstances, we have determined that the refund issued to Domingo Cardona Moreno should be rescinded.

 

It is Therefore Ordered That:

 

The Decision and Order issued by the DOE on July 26, 1993, Shell Oil Company/Domingo Cardona Moreno et al., Case Nos. RF315-09327 et al., is hereby rescinded as to Domingo Cardona Moreno, Case No. RF315-09327, redesignated RF315-10288.

 

Notwithstanding our directive in Shell Oil Company/Domingo Cardona Moreno et al., 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 $1,172 ($783 principal plus $389 interest) in the escrow fund denominated Product Tracking-Claimants, Account No. 999DOE035W, maintained at the Department of Treasury.

 

This is a final Order of the Department of Energy.
