DOE Issues Order Denying Requests for Rehearing.
The Department of Energy has completed its consideration of the issues raised in the rehearing applications, as well as in the requests for stay, and has concluded that they are without merit. Therefore, the rehearing applications and requests for stay in both dockets are denied.
