of Termination of Proceeding

standards applicable to residential water
heaters (exception application).
On September 15, 2015, the
Administrative Law Judge designated to
serve as the presiding officer in this
proceeding submitted a report to the
Commission, stating that, on September
2, 2015, the parties had filed a
unanimous Stipulation and Notice of
Withdrawal of Pleadings (Stipulation
and Notice). The Stipulation and Notice
obligated Vaughn to withdraw its
Petition on the condition that DOE
vacate the OHA order under review. The
judge stated that, on September 11,
2015, Vaughn and DOE filed a joint
notice that they had satisfied the
conditions in the Stipulation and
Notice. Accordingly, the judge deemed
the Petition, the underlying OHA order
denying Vaughn’s exception application
and the pending DOE motion to dismiss
the Petition to be withdrawn in
accordance with the Stipulation and
Notice.
Take notice that the proceeding in
Docket No. RA15–1–000 is, as a
consequence, deemed terminated.

On May 11, 2015, Vaughn Thermal
Corporation (Vaughn) filed a Petition for
Review of Denial of Adjustment Request
(Petition) under Subpart J of the
Commission’s Rules of Practice and
Procedure.1 Vaughn’s petition asserted
that the Department of Energy (DOE)
Office of Hearings and Appeals (OHA)
had improperly denied a November 21,
2014 application by Vaughn for an
exception from DOE efficiency

SUMMARY:

5 The estimates for cost per response are derived
using the following formula: Average Burden Hours
per Response * $72.00 per Hour = Average Cost per
Response. The hourly cost figure comes from the
FERC Full-Time Equivalent (FTE) average salary
plus benefits ($149,489/year). The Commission
believes the FERC FTE average salary plus benefits
to be representative of wages for industry
respondents.
