WESLEY E. BROWN, Judge.
This case arises under Section 209 of the Economic Stabilization Act of 1970.1 Lea Exploration (Lea) brought an action for declaratory relief in United States District Court, seeking a judgment stating that Lea did not violate the Department of Energy’s (DOE) Mandatory Petroleum Price Regulations.2 The DOE counterclaimed, alleging that Lea improperly classified oil from two of its wells as “newly discovered crude oil,” and overcharged customers on sales of oil from those two wells. The Government sought restitution for the overcharges under Sec. 209.
