Decision List No. 97 Week of August 3 Through August 7, 1998 Refund Application ENRON CORP./MAPCO, INC., 8/3/98, RF340-149 DOE granted a refund to MAPCO, Inc. (MAPCO) in the Enron Corporation (Enron) special refund proceeding. DOE concluded that MAPCO's NGL purchases were not discretionary in nature, and were dictated by the firm's need to supply its regular customers and maintain the flow of product in its pipeline system. However, DOE excluded purchases of ethane because they were insufficiently documented. DOE also excluded certain quantities of natural gasoline that appear to have been purchased pursuant to a fixed price contract. DOE then found that MAPCO had shown that it was injured by its purchases of propane from Enron to some extent, but limited the firm's refund to approximately 85.5% of its full volumetric refund for that product. Refund Applications The Office of Hearings and Appeals issued the following Decisions and Orders concerning refund applications, which are not summarized. Copies of the full texts of the Decisions and Orders are available in the Public Reference Room of the Office of Hearings and Appeals. Army & Air Force Exch Svc................................
