agencies to file modified mandatory

terms and conditions. Staff will take

into consideration all comments and

terms and conditions received on the

EA before final action is taken on the

license application. Revisions to the

schedule may be made as appropriate.

Communications; Public Notice

August 10, 2007.

This constitutes notice, in accordance

with 18 CFR 385.2201(b), of the receipt

of prohibited and exempt off-the-record

communications.

Order No. 607 (64 FR 51222,

Commission decisional employees, who

make or receive a prohibited or exempt

off-the-record communication relevant

to the merits of a contested proceeding,

to deliver to the Secretary of the

Commission, a copy of the

communication, if written, or a

summary of the substance of any oral

communication.

Prohibited communications are

included in a public, non-decisional file

associated with, but not a part of, the

decisional record of the proceeding.

Unless the Commission determines that

the prohibited communication and any

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.

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
