channel. Bolsa Bay includes the Bolsa
Chica Lowlands and Ecological Reserve,
and is a major environmental resource
in southern California. The Bay has
been designated as an area of national
significance, and is host to a wide
assemblage of resident and migratory
waterfowl and marine species including
over 30 Federal and/or State listed
sensitive species that utilize the
wetlands during all or part of their
annual cycle.
The Bolsa Chica Flood Control
Channel (BCFC), with its principal
tributaries, the Anaheim-Barber City
Channel and Westminster Channel,
drains to Huntington Harbour. The
BCFC Channel drains the western
portion of the study area, with a
significant portion of property adjacent
to the Seal Beach Naval Weapons
Station of the U.S. Navy and 1.5 miles
runs through and adjacent to the Los
Alamitos Armed Forces Training Base.
Aside from the military facilities, this
portion of the watershed is almost
entirely urbanized. Agriculture is still
practiced under leases granted by the
Navy on portions of their property. The
BCFC Channel outlets into Huntington
Harbour, but unlike EGGW, does not
outlet into Bolsa Bay. The sole ocean
outlet for both Bolsa Bay and
Huntington Harbour is to the north at
Anaheim Bay and the Seal Beach
National Wildlife Refuge. Tidal
influence in the lowermost portion of
the BCFC and East Garden GroveWintersburg Channels extended
approximately 2 miles inland.

Authorization. The proposed study is
authorized in response to a House
Resolution dated May 8, 1964, which
reads as follows:
hsrobinson on PROD1PC70 with NOTICES
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
‘‘Resolved by the Committee on Public
Works of the House of Representatives,
United States, that the Board of Engineers for
Rivers and Harbors is hereby requested to
review the reports on (a) San Gabriel River
and Tributaries, published as House
Document No. 838, 76th Congress, 3d
Session; (b) Santa Ana River and Tributaries,
published as House Document No. 135, 81st
Congress, 1st Session; and (c) the project
authorized by the Flood Control Act of 1936
for the protection of the metropolitan area in
Orange County, with a view to determining

authorized projects in the interest of flood
control and related purposes.’’
2. Background. Before development,
the watershed was largely comprised of
grasses and trees, such as oaks,
cottonwoods and sycamore. Early
development was primarily agricultural
with some residential. As of the early
1990s, 85 percent of the Westminster
watershed was urbanized. Land use
consists primarily of residential,
commercial, military, light industrial,
schools and parks, and transportation
facilities. It is expected that in the next
50 years full development of the
remaining agricultural and vacant land
will occur. This future potential
development is not expected to
significantly affect the current flood
conditions.
3. Scoping Process. A scoping meeting
is scheduled for January 25, 2006, 6:30–
8 p.m., at Garden Grove Civic Center,
Community Meeting Center,
Constitution Room, 11300 Stanford
Ave., Garden Grove, CA 92840.
Additional public meetings will be
scheduled throughout the study. For
specific dates, times and locations
please contact Mary Anne Skorpanich,
Orange County, at 714–834–5311 or email at MaryAnne.Skorpanich
@rdmd.ocgov.com. Potential impacts
associated with the proposed action will
be evaluated. Resource categories that
will be analyzed are: physical
environment, geology, biological
resources, air quality, water quality,
recreational usage, aesthetics, cultural
resources, transportation, noise,
hazardous waste, socioeconomics and
safety.
b. Participation of affected Federal,
State and local resource agencies, Native
American groups and concerned interest
groups/individuals is encouraged in the
scoping process. Time and location of
the Public Scoping meeting will also be
announced by means of a letter, public
announcements and news releases.
Public participation will be especially
important in defining the scope of
analysis in the EIS/EIR, identifying
significant environmental issues and
impact analysis in the EIS/EIR and
providing useful information such as
published and unpublished data,
personal knowledge of relevant issues
and recommending mitigative measures
associated with the proposed action.
c. Those interested in providing
information or data relevant to the
environmental or social impacts that
should be included or considered in the
environmental analysis can furnish this
information by writing to the points of
contact indicated above or by attending
the public scoping meeting. A mailing

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Final Procedures for Distribution of
Remaining Crude Oil Overcharge
Refunds

Notice of final procedures for
distribution of remaining crude oil
overcharge refunds.
ACTION:
SUMMARY: In a May 21, 2004 Notice, the
Department of Energy (DOE) Office of
Hearings and Appeals (OHA)
announced procedures for making one
final round of refund payments in this
proceeding. However, there is ongoing
litigation that could affect the amount of
crude oil monies available for
distribution, thus making it unworkable
at this point to have a single, last round
of payments that would exhaust the
remaining crude oil refund monies. We
instead announce here that we will
issue refunds amounting to
approximately 90% of the money due
each eligible claimant.
ADDRESSES: Inquiries should be
addressed to: Crude Oil Refund
Proceeding, Office of Hearings and
Appeals, Department of Energy,
Washington, DC 20585–1615, and
submitted electronically to
crudeoilrefunds@hq.doe.gov.

Steven Goering, Staff Attorney, or

Office of Hearings and Appeals,
Department of Energy; telephone: 202–
287–1449, e-mail:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Introduction
OHA published a notice of proposed
procedures for the distribution of
remaining crude oil overcharge refunds
in the Federal Register on September
30, 2005 (‘‘the September 30 notice’’),
and requested comments from
interested parties. 70 FR 57274. The
September 30 notice explained that
events and proliferating litigation
affecting the windup of this crude oil
refund proceeding have precluded the
Department from proceeding with the
calculation of the per-gallon
‘‘volumetric’’ refund amount that is
necessary to make a single, final
payment of refunds to all qualified
applicants. Calculating the volumetric
amount requires two fixed numbers: (1)
The amount of funds available for
distribution (‘‘the numerator’’), which is
divided by (2) the number of gallons of
eligible petroleum products purchased
during the controls period by eligible
claimants (‘‘the denominator’’).
However, as explained in the September
30 notice, the increasing litigation that
has been brought to bear on the
proceeding may affect both the
numerator and the denominator of the
volumetric calculation. As a result, the
PO 00000
Frm 00018
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

plan to make a single, final round of
refunds to eligible persons is
unworkable and cannot be achieved.
We therefore announced a provisional
volumetric refund amount and defined
that portion of the crude oil monies that
would be reserved pending the
resolution of the litigation. Specifically,
we proposed to make refunds to
claimants based upon a volumetric
calculated using as a numerator
approximately 90% of all available
funds, and as a denominator the number
of gallons of eligible petroleum products
purchased during the controls period by
eligible claimants plus the number of
gallons claimed in an application
denied by OHA that is currently the
subject of pending litigation.
We also proposed in the September 30
notice that we not distribute funds to 73
claimants, listed in the notice, whose
refunds are currently being challenged
by third parties in pending litigation.
We proposed that, upon the conclusion
of litigation and a final upholding of our
refund awards, we would promptly
release the funds to the affected
claimants.
II. Summary and Response to
Comments on Proposed Procedures
In response to the September 30
notice DOE received seven comments
submitted by a State government, a
member of the public, and law firms
and filing services that represent eligible
claimants. This section of the
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
summarizes the issues raised in the
comments, and gives DOE’s response, as
follows:
Comment: Two commenters disagree
with our proposal not to disburse at this
time funds that are currently the subject
of litigation in which a U.S. District
Court awarded plaintiffs attorney’s fees
in the ‘‘amount of thirty percent (30%)
of the fund derived from the amount of
the increase in the per million-gallon
distribution over the $670 [per million
gallons] initially proposed by DOE.’’
Consolidated Edison v. Abraham, Civil
Action No. 03–1991, slip op. at 12
(January 26, 2005). The Department has
filed Notices of Appeal regarding this
decision, and plaintiffs have filed
appeals of the order insofar as it denied
the full amount of attorney’s fees they
sought, which would have amounted to
10% of the entire ‘‘Subpart V’’ crude oil
fund, i.e., about $28 million. See DC Cir.
Docket Nos. 05–5089, 05–5090, 05–
5223, and Fed. Cir. Docket Nos. 05–
1309, 05–1310, 05–1450.
Neither commenter disagreed with the
withholding of the amount of the
attorney’s fee already awarded by the
District Court, approximately 4% of the
