Decision List No. 107--Week of October 12 Through October 16, 1998
Refund Applications
Apex Oil/Clark Oil Co./Kickapoo Oil Co., Inc., 10/13/98, RF342-284
The DOE denied a refund application filed in the Apex/Clark special
refund proceeding. The OHA found that applicant is precluded by the
doctrine of res judicata from relitigating its claims in Apex/Clark
proceeding.
Atlantic Richfield Company/Saturn Petroleum Company, 10/13/98, RF304-
15516
A refund that was granted to Saturn Petroleum Company in the ARCO
refund proceeding was rescinded. The original refund had been based
upon the firm's claim to have purchased about 300,000 gallons of ARCO
products per month at each of four retail outlets between 1973 and
1976. However, a review of information that the firm had submitted in
the Texaco refund proceeding indicated that these outlets had not
purchased ARCO products for most of the time period the firm had
claimed and the monthly volume of ARCO purchases had been much lower.
The firm failed to respond to an Order to Show Cause why the refund
should not be rescinded in full. Accordingly, the firm was ordered to
repay the refund together with interest.
State Escrow Distribution, 10/14/98, RF302-21
The Office of Hearings and Appeals ordered the DOE's Office of the
Controller to distribute $24,150,000 to the State Governments. The use
of the funds by the States is governed by the Stripper Well Settlement
Agreement.
