Download as PDF 38902 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 128 / Wednesday, July 6, 2005 / Notices oil violations. See Order Implementing the MSRP, 51 FR 29,689 (August 20, 1986) (the August 1986 Order). Under the MSRP, 40 percent of crude oil overcharge funds will be disbursed to the federal government, another 40 percent to the states, and up to 20 percent may initially be reserved for the payment of claims to injured parties. The MSRP also specified that any funds remaining after all valid claims by injured purchasers are paid will be disbursed to the federal government and the states in equal amounts. In April 1987, the OHA issued a Notice analyzing the numerous comments received in response to the August 1986 Order. 52 FR 11737 (April 10, 1987) (April 10 Notice). This Notice provided guidance to claimants that anticipated filing refund applications for crude oil monies under the Subpart V regulations. In general, we stated that all claimants would be required to (1) document their purchase volumes of petroleum products during the August 19, 1973 through January 27, 1981 crude oil price control period, and (2) prove that they were injured by the alleged crude oil overcharges. Applicants who were end-users or ultimate consumers of petroleum products, whose businesses are unrelated to the petroleum industry, and who were not subject to the DOE price regulations would be presumed to have been injured by any alleged crude oil overcharges. In order to receive a refund, end-users would not need to submit any further evidence of injury beyond the volume of petroleum products purchased during the period of price controls. See City of Columbus Georgia, 16 DOE ¶ 85,550 (1987). 1. Individual Refund Claims The amount of money obtained from the listed firms intended for restitution of crude oil violations is $1,585,576.76 plus accrued interest. In accordance with the MSRP, we shall initially reserve 20 percent of those funds ($317,115 plus accrued interest) for direct refunds to applicants who claim that they were injured by crude oil overcharges. We shall base refunds on a volumetric amount which has been calculated in accordance with the methodology described in the April 10 Notice. That volumetric refund amount is currently $0.0016 per gallon. See 57 FR 15562 (March 24, 1995). On May 13, 2004, we announced final procedures for the distribution of the remaining crude oil overcharge funds held by DOE, and estimated that the remaining funds would result in an additional volumetric refund amount of $0.00072 per gallon. See 69 FR 29300 (May 21, 2004). VerDate jul<14>2003 16:35 Jul 05, 2005 Jkt 205001 The filing deadline for refund applications in the crude oil refund proceeding was June 30, 1994. This was subsequently changed to June 30, 1995. See Filing Deadline Notice, 60 FR 19914 (April 20, 1995); see also DMLP PDO, 60 FR 32004, 32007 (June 19, 1995). Because the June 30, 1995, deadline for crude oil refund applications has passed, no new applications for restitution from purchasers of refined petroleum products based on the alleged (or established) crude oil pricing violations will be accepted for these funds. Instead, these funds will be added to the general crude oil overcharge pool used for direct restitution. 2. Payments to the States and Federal Government Under the terms of the MSRP, the remaining 80 percent of the crude oil violation amounts subject to this Decision, or $1,268,461 plus accrued interest, should be disbursed in equal shares to the states and federal government, for indirect restitution. Refunds to the states will be in proportion to the consumption of petroleum products in each state during the period of price controls. The share or ratio of the funds which each state will receive is contained in Exhibit H of the Stripper Well Settlement Agreement. When disbursed, these funds will be subject to the same limitations and reporting requirements as all other crude oil monies received by the states under the Stripper Well Agreement. Accordingly, we will direct the DOE’s Office of the Controller to transfer onehalf of that amount, or $634,230 plus interest, into an interest bearing subaccount for the states, and one-half or $634,230 plus interest, into an interest bearing subaccount for the federal government. It is therefore ordered that: The payments remitted to the Department of Energy by BPM Ltd., Honeymon Drilling Co., Intercontinental Oil, Knox Oil, Pescar Trading, Shepherd Oil, Inc., Sierra Petroleum Co., Thriftway Co., and Western Refining Co. (Robert J. Martin) will be distributed in accordance with the forgoing Decision.
