DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Issuance of Proposed Decisions and Orders for Week of March 21
Through March 25, 1994
During the week of March 21 through March 25, 1994, the proposed
decisions and orders summarized below were issued by the Office of
Hearings and Appeals of the Department of Energy with regard to
applications for exception.
Under the procedural regulations that apply to exception
proceedings (10 CFR part 205, subpart D), any person who will be
aggrieved by the issuance of a proposed decision and order in final
form may file a written notice of objection within ten days of service.
For purposes of the procedural regulations, the date of service of
notice is deemed to be the date of publication of this Notice or the
date an aggrieved person receives actual notice, whichever occurs
first.
The procedural regulations provide that an aggrieved party who
fails to file a Notice of Objection within the time period specified in
the regulations will be deemed to consent to the issuance of the
proposed decision and order in final form. An aggrieved party who
wishes to contest a determination made in a proposed decision and order
must also file a detailed statement of objections within 30 days of the
date of service of the proposed decision and order. In the statement of
objections, the aggrieved party must specify each issue of fact or law
that it intends to contest in any further proceeding involving the
exception matter.
Copies of the full text of these proposed decisions and orders are
available in the Public Reference Room of the Office of Hearings and
Appeals, room 1E-234, Forrestal Building, 1000 Independence Avenue SW.,
Washington, DC 20585, Monday through Friday, between the hours of 1
p.m. and 5 p.m., except federal holidays.
Dated: April 6, 1994.
George B. Breznay,
Director, Office of Hearings and Appeals.
Farmers Co-Operative Company, Winger, MN, Reporting Requirements, Lee-
0077
Farmers Co-Operative 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.'' In considering this request, the DOE found that
the firm was not suffering a gross inequity or serious hardship.
Accordingly, on March 24, 1994, the DOE issued a Proposed Decision and
Order determining that the exception request should be denied.
Friendly Service Stations, Inc., Fairfield, CT, Reporting Requirements,
Lee-0070
Friendly Service Stations, Inc., (Friendly) 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.'' Friendly showed that it had
been forced by financial difficulties to reduce its staff to such an
extent that complying with the reporting requirement would impose an
inordinate burden on the firm. DOE therefore determined that exception
relief should be granted. Friendly hopes that its current difficulties
will prove temporary. The exception relief granted will therefore be
effective for a period of nineteen months, ending April 30, 1995.
Accordingly, on March 23, 1994, the DOE issued a Proposed Decision and
Order determining that the request should be granted in part.
Lorenz Petroleum, Inc., Manitowoc, WI, Reporting Requirements, Lee-0092
Lorenz Petroleum, Inc. 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.'' In considering the request, the DOE found that the firm was
experiencing a serious hardship due to the medical problems of its
owner, Kenneth Lorenz. Accordingly, on March 21, 1994, the DOE issued a
Proposed Decision and Order determining that the exception request
should be granted in part.
New Dixie Oil Corporation, Roanoke Rapids, NC, Reporting Requirements,
Lee-0074
New Dixie Oil Corporation (New Dixie) filed an Application for

Exception request, if granted, would permit New Dixie to be exempted
from filing Form EIA-782B. On March 24, 1994, the Department of Energy
issued a Proposed Decision and Order which determined that the
Exception request should be denied.
4Paul Fisher Oil Co., Inc., Selmer, TN, Reporting Requirements, Lee-
0091
Paul Fisher Oil Co., Inc., (Fisher) filed an Application for

should be denied.

Winn's Gas & Oil, Paul, ID, Reporting Requirements, Lee-0078
Winn's Gas & Oil filed an Application for Exception from the
requirement that it file Form 782B, the ``Resellers'/Retailers' Monthly
Petroleum Product Sales Report.'' In considering the request, the DOE
found that the firm was not experiencing a serious hardship or being
adversely affected by the reporting requirement in a way that was
significantly different from the burden borne by similar reporting
firms. Accordingly, on March 24, 1994, the DOE issued a Proposed
Decision and Order determining that the exception request should be
denied.
