Oil Overcharge Refunds

AGENCY: Office of Hearings and Appeals Department of Energy.

ACTION: Notice of reopening the period for filing Applications for 
Refund in the Crude Oil Overcharge Special Refund Proceeding [RF272 
Case Nos.]

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Office of Hearings and Appeals of the Department of Energy 
has reopened the period for filing a timely Application for Refund from 
the escrow account established to distribute crude oil overcharge 
refunds.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Thomas L. Wieker, Deputy Director, 
Virginia Lipton, Assistant Director, Office of Hearings and Appeals, 
Department of Energy, 1000 Independence Avenue, S.W., Washington, D.C. 
20585 [phone] (Wieker) [phone] (Lipton).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May 3, 1993, the Department of Energy 
issued a Notice which established June 30, 1994, as the final deadline 
for filing an Application for Refund from all crude oil funds. 58 FR 
26318 (May 3, 1993). Although the DOE provided more than one year's 
notice of that closing date, the DOE did not request public comment on 
the selection of the closing date itself. The DOE has decided to reopen 
the period for filing crude oil overcharge refund claims and to take 
comments on the issue of the appropriate closing date. Accordingly, the 
DOE proposes a new closing date of June 3, 1996, for the crude oil 
overcharge refund proceeding. We solicit comments on this proposed 
closing date. Comments should be provided by April 3, 1995, to the 
Office of Hearings and Appeals at the address set out above.

    Dated: November 1, 1994.
George B. Breznay,
Director, Office of Hearings and Appeals.
