SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On January 22, 1992, the Office of Hearings
and Appeals of the Department of Energy issued a Decision and Order
setting forth final refund procedures to distribute the monies in the
oil overcharge escrow account established in accordance with the terms
of a Consent Order entered into by the Department of Energy and the
Strasburger Enterprises, Inc. See Strasburger Enterprises, Inc., 22 DOE
85,021 (1992), 57 FR 3199 (January 28, 1992). That Decision
established January 29, 1993, as the filing deadline for the submission
of refund applications for direct restitution by purchasers of
Strasburger Enterprises, Inc.'s refined petroleum products. 22 DOE at
88,063.
The Office of Hearings and Appeals commenced accepting refund
applications in the Strasburger Enterprises, Inc. refund proceeding on
February 18, 1992, more than two years ago. All of the Applications for
Refund filed in the Strasburger Enterprises, Inc. proceeding have been
considered and resolved. Furthermore, in view of the extended period of
time that has transpired since the commencement of the proceeding, and
the fact that no Applications for Refund have been submitted since
February 2, 1993, we have concluded that all eligible applicants have
been provided with ample time to file. Accordingly, effective April 22,
1994, the proceeding established to distribute funds from the escrow
account maintained pursuant to the consent order entered into between
the DOE and Strasburger Enterprises, Inc. will be closed. Any unclaimed
funds remaining will be made available for indirect restitution
pursuant to the Petroleum Overcharge Distribution and Restitution Act
of 1986, 15 U.S.C. 4501.
Dated: April 6, 1994.
