Week of October 20 Through October 24, 1997
Personnel Security Hearing
Personnel Security Hearing, 10/20/97, [VSO-0155]
An OHA Hearing Officer issued an Opinion regarding the eligibility
of an individual to maintain access authorization under the provisions
of 10 CFR Part 710. The Hearing Officer found that the individual used
an illegal drug, cocaine, based on the positive test result of a random
drug screening conducted by the National Guard. The Hearing Officer
found that additional security concerns were raised by the fact that
the Individual had used cocaine after signing a drug certification in
which he promised not to use drugs while holding an access
authorization. The Hearing Officer found the Individual had not
mitigated these security concerns and recommended that the individual's
access authorization not be restored.
Refund Application
Certainteed Corporation, 10/20/97, [RC272-345, RC272-353]
The Department of Energy rescinded two crude oil refunds granted to
CertainTeed Corp. because of the waiver signed by the firm in the
Surface Transporters (ST) proceeding. The DOE rejected the firm's
argument that it was not bound by the waiver since the DOE had granted
its request to dismiss its ST claim and process its crude oil refund
application. However, in view of the unique circumstances of this case,
the DOE decided not to require the repayment of the larger of the two
refunds.
Refund Applications
The Office of Hearings and Appeals issued the following Decisions
and Orders concerning refund applications, which are not summarized.
