Decision List No. 987
Appeal
Carolina Power & Light Co., 8/28/96, VEA-0005
Carolina Power & Light Co. filed an Appeal from a determination by
the DOE's Office of Environmental Management of CP&L's assessment for
the Uranium Enrichment Decontamination and Decommissioning Fund (D&D
Fund). CP&L argued that its assessment should not include DOE
enrichment services associated with (1) leased enriched uranium, (2) a
waste stream purchased from a foreign utility, or (3) fabrication
allowances. After considering CP&L's arguments, the DOE determined that
the requested exclusions would be inconsistent with the statute
establishing the D&D Fund and the implementing regulations.
Accordingly, the Appeal was denied.
Refund Applications
Fairmont Foods, Inc., 8/29/96, RF272-92292
The DOE issued a Decision and Order concerning one Application for
Refund filed by Fairmont Foods, Inc. In the Subpart V crude oil
overcharge refund proceeding, the DOE determined that Fairmont Foods,
Inc. was not entitled to a refund since it had filed a Reseller's
Escrow Settlement Claim Form and Waiver. In that filing, Fairmont
Foods, Inc. had requested a Stripper Well refund from the Reseller's
escrow, thereby waiving its right to a Subpart V crude oil refund.
Accordingly, the DOE denied the Application for Refund.
Franklin Oil Corp., 8/29/96, RF272-98162
The Department of Energy (DOE) issued a Decision and Order denying
an Application for Refund that was filed by Franklin Oil Corp.
(Franklin) in the crude oil refund proceeding. In the Decision, the DOE
concluded that Franklin was a refiner of petroleum products, and
therefore was required to show that it was injured as a result of the
alleged crude oil overcharges. Because Franklin failed to make such a
showing, its application was denied.
H&D Excavating, Inc., 8/30/96, RC272-348
The DOE issued a Supplemental Order to H&D Excavating, Inc.
rescinding a part of a Decision and Order that granted the application
of 15 claimants in the Subpart V crude oil refund proceeding. See
Burnup & Sims, Inc., Case No. RF272-92013 (December 19, 1994). In that
Decision, the DOE granted H&D Excavating, Inc. (Case No. RF272-92350),
a refund of $88 based on its purchases of 110,050 gallons of refined
petroleum products. The United States Post Office returned as
undeliverable the refund check mailed to H&D Excavating, Inc. Since the
DOE was also unable to contact or locate H&D Excavating, Inc., the DOE
rescinded the refund approved for H&D Excavating, Inc.
