KENNEDY FEDERAL BUILDING , GOVERNMENT CENTER BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS 02203 July 30, 1974 Mr. Hugh Saussy, Jr. Regional Administrator, Region I Federal Energy Administration 150 Causeway Street Boston, Massachusetts 02114 Dear Mr. Saussy: As you know, our office has been reviewing the activities of the Federal Energy Administration. To date, we have focused our attention on the motor gasoline allocation program. Since the Petroleun Allocation and Price Regulations (10 CFR, Chapter II) places a great deal of responsibility on suppliers for administering the allocation program, we set out to determine whether the suppliers were comlying with the regulations; specifically, whether deliveries were in accordance with the established base year volumes in Section 211.102 and whether adjustments were being made in accordance with Section 211.13. We visited the local offices of Sunoco, Texaco, Exxon, Mobil, and the coroorate headquarters of Sunoco in Philadelphia, We dis- cussed allocation program policy and company procedures with officials and reviewed motor gasoline delivery records for randomly selected retail outlets for the months of January through April 1974, FTNDTIGS Three of the four major suppliers reviewed were generally comply- 0-n Tmih the reg'ulations relating to both deliveries and adjutments. Sunoco, however, was delivering more gasoline to stations than regulations permitted, Based on a review of deliveries to twenty- two randomly selected stations, we found that eighteen had received over one-half million gallons or about one-third more than allowed during the period January through April 1974, In one instance, for example, during this period Sunoco delivered 73,401 gallons to a station which was authorized only 26,581 gallons. Details on this and similar cases are attached to this letter. BEST DOC? ENT '!AltABLE 7o i~i 0-01 aLM istilllli
