Decision List No. 80
Week of April 6 Through April 10, 1998
Appeals
Hobart T. Bolin, Jr., 4/10/98, VFA-0390
The DOE's Office of Hearings and Appeals (OHA) issued a decision
granting a Freedom of Information Act Appeal filed by Hobart T. Bolin,
Jr. Bolin sought the release of documents relating to an incident that
occurred at the DOE's Oak Ridge Operations Office (OR) site in 1995,
and OR released certain documents to him. In his Appeal, Bolin provided
information about possible additional responsive documents that OR had
not included in its original search. Accordingly, the Appeal was
granted and Bolin's request was remanded to OR for a further search for
responsive documents.
William H. Payne, 4/10/98, VFA-0391
The Department of Energy (DOE) issued a Decision and Order (D&O)
denying a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) Appeal that was filed by
William H. Payne. In his Appeal, Mr. Payne requested that we review a
determination issued by the Albuquerque Operations Office that invoices
submitted by a law firm to a DOE contractor are not ``agency records,''
and are therefore not subject to the FOIA. In the Decision, the Office
of Hearings and Appeals found that documents were not agency records,
and that they were also not subject to release pursuant to the
contractor records provision of 10 C.F.R. Sec. 1004.3(e)(1).
Refund Application
Apex Oil Co./Clark Oil Co./GO-TANE Service Stations, Inc., RF342-278
The DOE granted a refund filed in the Apex/Clark special refund
proceeding. The OHA denied a request for a refund based on alleged
Clark allocation violations and for reimbursement of legal and
accounting fees, but approved a refund of $432,497 for injury suffered
as a result of alleged Clark overcharges.
