This constitutes notice, in accordance
with 18 CFR 385.2201(b), of the receipt
of prohibited and exempt off-the-record

Order No. 607 (64 FR 51222,

Commission decisional employees, who
make or receive a prohibited or exempt

communication, if written, or a
summary of the substance of any oral
communication.
Prohibited communications are

of the decisional record, the prohibited
off-the-record communication will not

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
