SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In this Notice, we announce the final procedures for the distribution of Subpart V crude oil refunds, and order payments required under a May 1, 2007 settlement agreement between the Department of Energy and certain claimants in the present proceeding (the May 1, 2007 Settlement Agreement). The Office of Hearings and Appeals (OHA) published a Notice of final procedures for final crude oil refunds in the Federal Register on May 21, 2004. 69 FR 29300. In the May 21 notice, we explained that we would be sending notice to all claimants (or their representatives of record) who purchased more than 280,000 gallons of eligible petroleum products during the relevant period. We also stated that claimants would be required, no later than December 31, 2004, to submit verification of the information in our database. Shortly after issuing the May 21 Notice, we sent notice to claimants and received 30,873 timely submissions. In the May 21 notice, we set forth a plan to make one final round of refund payments, with the intent ‘‘to distribute all of the reserved funds to claimants ‘insofar as practicable.’ ’’ 69 FR at 29302.

Presenter or requester FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: PO 00000 46461 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 litigation affecting the windup of this proceeding precluded the Department from proceeding with the calculation of the per-gallon ‘‘volumetric’’ refund amount that was 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, the ongoing litigation had the potential to affect both the numerator and the denominator of the volumetric calculation. As a result, in a January 13, 2006 Federal Register notice, 71 FR 2195, we announced procedures for an interim round of refunds 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 was then the subject of pending litigation. Finally, we stated that, in view of the uncertainties posed by the outstanding litigation, we were not in a position to commit ourselves to additional refunds until all pending litigation was resolved. The prudence of this approach was confirmed when on January 26, 2005 the E:\FR\FM\20AUN1.SGM 20AUN1
