From: steve.j.letai@exxonmobil.com Sent: Wednesday, May 24, 2006 12:15 PM To: Marland, Nancy Subject: RIN# 1901-AB16 Nancy, it was a pleasure talking with you the other day. As discussed, in reviewing the proposed SPR Fill Procedures we thought that the wording on page 13 Sec. 626.05 (d)(2) could be clarified. We would propose the following amended wording for your consideration, which was largely borrowed from the "Termination" section of DOE's 10 CFR Part 625. Glad to discuss if you have any questions. Thanks. DOE may terminate all solicitations and contracts pertaining to the acquisition of crude oil at the convenience of the Government, and in such event shall not be responsible for any costs incurred by suppliers, other than for oil delivered to the SPR. Government shall be liable for such reasonable costs incurred by the purchasers in preparing to perform the contract, but shall not be liable for consequential damages or lost profits as the result of such termination.
