Final Consent Order With Murphy Oil Corporation, Murphy Oil USA, Inc. and Murphy Exploration & Production Company

概要

The Department of Energy (DOE) has determined that a proposed Consent Order between DOE and Murphy Oil Corporation, Murphy Oil USA, Inc. and Murphy Exploration & Production Company (Murphy), which was published for public comment in 59 FR 38169 (July 27, 1994), shall be made final. The Consent Order resolves matters relating to Murphy's compliance with the federal petroleum price and allocation regulations for the period January 1, 1973 through January 28, 1981. To resolve these matters, Murphy will pay to DOE $10,700,000. Following receipt of the settlement monies, the Economic Regulatory Administration (ERA) will petition DOE's Office of Hearings and Appeals (OHA) to implement Special Refund Procedures pursuant to 10 CFR Part 205, Subpart V. Those procedures provide persons who claim to have suffered injury from the alleged overcharges with the opportunity to submit claims for payment.
