Decision List No. 944
Week of October 30 Through November 3, 1995
Appeal
William M. Arkin, 10/30/95 VFA-0089
William M. Arkin filed an Appeal under the Freedom of Information
Act of a determination issued to him by the Albuquerque Operations
Office. Arkin had requested information concerning ``blinding,
dazzling, or stunning laser related counter electro-optics weapons.''
On Appeal, Arkin took issue with the DOE's claim that no responsive
documents existed, noting that several articles concerning DOE's
activities in this area had appeared in the media. The DOE found that
Albuquerque had failed to adequately respond to Arkin's request and,
therefore, remanded the matter for further action.
Personnel Security Hearing
Rocky Flats Field Office, 11/1/95 VSO-0043
A Hearing Officer of the Office of Hearings and Appeals issued an
opinion concerning the continued eligibility of an individual for
access authorization under 10 C.F.R. Part 710. The Hearing Officer
found that the derogatory information presented with respect to the
individual's alleged marijuana use was insufficient to raise a
substantial doubt concerning the veracity of the individual's repeated
denials that he ever used illegal drugs. However, the Hearing Officer
found that the information presented regarding the individual's alcohol
abuse was sufficient to support a denial of access authorization
pursuant to 10 C.F.R. Sec. 710.8(j). The Hearing Officer also found
that the individual failed to present sufficient evidence of
rehabilitation or reformation to mitigate this derogatory information.
Accordingly, the Hearing Officer concluded that the individual's access
authorization should not be restored.
Requests for Exception
C&B Warehouse, 11/3/95 VEE-0008
C&B Warehouse filed an Application for Exception from the
requirement that it file Form EIA-782B, the ``Reseller/Retailer's
Monthly Petroleum Product Sales Report.'' The DOE found that the firm
was not affected by the reporting requirement in a manner different
from other similar firms and, consequently, was not experiencing a
special hardship, inequity, or unfair distribution of burdens.
Accordingly, the firm's Application for Exception was denied.
Dixie Gas & Oil Co., 11/1/95 VEE-0009
Dixie Gas & Oil Company filed an Application for Exception from the
Energy Information Administration (EIA) requirement that it file Form
EIA-782B, the ``Resellers'/Retailers' Monthly Petroleum Product Sales
Report.'' The DOE found that the firm was suffering temporary hardship
related to upgrading its computer system. Therefore, the firm was
granted an exception relieving it of the requirement to submit Form
EIA-782B between October 1995 and January 1996.
