Request for Exception
Big Little Stores, Inc., 7/19/95, VEF-0005
Big Little Stores, Inc., filed an Application for Exception from
the Energy Information Administration 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 gross inequity or serious hardship. Therefore, the DOE
denied the Big Little Stores' Application for Exception.
Implementation for Special Refund Procedures
Western Asphalt Service, Inc., et al., 7/17/95 LEF-0047 et al.
The DOE issued a Decision and Order implementing procedures for the
distribution of $29,376,255.50 (plus accrued interest) obtained from
Western Asphalt Service, Inc., Gray Trucking Company, William Valentine
& Sons, Inc., Dorchester Master Limited Partnership, Howell
Corporation, Placid Oil Company, Eton Trading Corporation. These funds
were remitted by each firm to the DOE to settle possible pricing
violations with respect to sales of crude oil. The DOE determined that
these monies will be distributed in accordance with the DOE's Modified
Statement of Restitutionary Policy Concerning Crude Oil Overcharges.
Under that policy, 20% will be reserved for injured purchasers of
refined products, 40% will be distributed to the federal government,
and 40% to the states.
Personnel Security Hearing
Albuquerque Operations Office, 7/21/95, VSO-0023, VSZ-0003, VSZ-0004
A Hearing Officer from the Office of Hearings and Appeals issued an
Opinion regarding the eligibility of an individual for access
authorization under the provisions of 10 C.F.R. Part 710. As
preliminary matters, a motion to dismiss the proceeding for lack of
authority and a motion to strike certain documentary evidence were
denied. The Hearing found that although the individual has used
marijuana a limited number of times over a 20-year period, his
subsequent rehabilitation from that behavior mitigated the DOE's
security concerns. The Hearing Officer also found, however, that the
individual had misrepresented his marijuana use to the DOE by omitting
significant information from forms and at interviews, and that the
DOE's security concerns regarding this behavior were not overcome by
any mitigating factors. Accordingly, the Hearing Officer found that the
individual's access authorization should not be restored.
