SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with 10 CFR 205.282(b), notice is hereby given of the issuance of the Decision and Order set out below. The Decision sets forth the procedures that the DOE has formulated to distribute to eligible claimants $1,585,576.76, plus accrued interest, obtained by the DOE from BPM Ltd., SUMMARY: VerDate jul<14>2003 16:09 Aug 19, 2005 Jkt 205001 Honeymon Drilling Co., Intercontinental Oil, Knox Oil, Pescar Trading, Shepherd Oil, Inc., Sierra Petroleum Co., Thriftway Co., and Western Refining Co. (Robert J. Martin). The OHA will distribute these funds in the currently-existing crude oil refund proceeding described in the Decision and Order. Because the deadline for filing crude oil refund applications has passed, no new applications for refund for the alleged (or established) crude oil pricing violations of the listed firms will be accepted for these funds. Dated: August 16, 2005. George B. Breznay, Director, Office of Hearings and Appeals. Decision and Order Department of Energy Implementation of Special Refund Procedures Names of Firms: BPM Ltd., Honeymon Drilling Co., Intercontinental Oil, Knox Oil, Pescar Trading, Shepherd Oil, Inc., Sierra Petroleum Co., Thriftway Co., Western Refining Co. (Robert J. Martin). Date of Filing: June 21, 2005. Case Numbers: TEF–0001, TEF–0002, TEF–0003, TEF–0004, TEF–0005, TEF– 0007, TEF–0008, TEF–0010, TEF–0011. I. Background The Office of General Counsel (OGC) of the Department of Energy (DOE) filed a Petition requesting that the Office of Hearings and Appeals (OHA) formulate and implement Subpart V special refund proceedings. Under the procedural regulations of the DOE, special refund proceedings may be implemented to refund monies to persons injured by violations of the DOE petroleum price regulations, provided DOE is unable to readily identify such persons or to ascertain the amount of any refund. 10 CFR 205.280. We have considered OGC’s request to formulate refund procedures for the disbursement of monies remitted by the following firms pursuant to administrative or judicial decisions or in settlement of the DOE allegations that the firms had violated the DOE petroleum price control and allocation regulations: BPM Ltd., Honeymon Drilling Co., Intercontinental Oil, Knox Oil, Pescar Trading, Shepherd Oil, Inc., Sierra Petroleum Co., Thriftway Co., Western Refining Co. (Robert J. Martin). In its Petition, OGC states that is has been unable to reasonably identify persons harmed as a result of these firms’ alleged violations, or to reasonably ascertain the amount of the PO 00000 Frm 00016 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 48947 refund to any person that might have been harmed. We therefore have determined that the refund procedures requested by OGC are appropriate. A total of $1,585,576.76 has been remitted to DOE by these firms to remedy violations that occurred during the relevant audit periods. These funds are being held in an escrow account established with the United States Treasury pending a determination of their proper distribution. This Decision sets forth OHA’s plan to distribute those funds. II. Jurisdiction and Authority The general guidelines that govern OHA’s ability to formulate and implement a plan to distribute refunds are set forth at 10 CFR part 205, subpart V. These procedures apply in situations where the DOE cannot readily identify the persons who were injured as a result of actual or alleged violations of the regulations or ascertain the amount of the refund each person should receive. For a more detailed discussion of subpart V and the authority of the OHA to fashion procedures to distribute refunds, see Office of Enforcement, 9 DOE ¶ 82,508 (1981) and Office of Enforcement, 8 DOE ¶ 82,597 (1981). On June 28, 2005, the OHA issued a Proposed Decision and Order (PD&O) establishing tentative procedures to distribute the funds remitted. That PD&O was published in the Federal Register, and a 30-day period was provided for the submission of comments regarding our proposed refund plan. See 70 FR 38901 (July 6, 2005). More than 30 days have elapsed and OHA has received no comments concerning these proposed refund procedures. Consequently, the procedures will be adopted as proposed. III. Refund Procedures A. Allocation of Remitted Funds The alleged violations by the abovenamed firms all concerned the sale of crude oil. Under these circumstances, all of the funds remitted will be allocated for restitution for parties injured by the firms’ alleged violations of the crude oil regulations. B. Refund Procedures for Crude Oil Violations The funds will be distributed in accordance with the DOE’s Modified Statement of Restitutionary Policy in Crude Oil Cases, (MSRP), see 51 FR 27899 (August 4, 1986). Pursuant to the MSRP, OHA may reserve up to 20 percent of those funds for direct refunds to applicants who claim that they were injured by the crude oil violations. The E:\FR\FM\22AUN1.SGM 22AUN1
