By petition for certiorari, we have for review Order No. 13885 of the Public Service Commission, which authorized Silco Petroleum Carrier, Inc., to transport certain petroleum products within Duval County including the suburban territory of that county. We find that the record in this cause does not demonstrate such a departure from the essential requirements of law that we should set aside the subject order entered in these proceedings. The petition for certiorari is denied.

It is so ordered.

dissenting.

Contrary to my colleagues, I find the order here under review to be the result of an unwarranted expansion of the declaratory statement procedure prescribed by section 120.565, Florida Statutes (1977),1 and, consequently, a departure from the essential requirements of law.

Under protest from Florida Rock & Tank Lines, Inc. and others, a Public Service Commission hearing examiner granted Silco Petroleum Carriers, Inc. the authority to transport bulk petroleum products within a particular territory in and around Duval County. The protestants petitioned for reconsideration of the order and, subsequently, the Commission issued a modified order — Order 13509. This order granted Silco the authority to transport only “gasoline, diesel, kerosene, No. 2 fuel oil and home heating oil between all points in Duval County.” Neither Silco nor the protestants sought review of Order 13509 by this Court.

In a subsequent proceeding allegedly under section 120.565, Silco petitioned the Commission for a declaratory statement regarding two aspects of Order 13509: (1) whether “No. 2 fuel oil” included heavier oils, such as Bunker C oil,2 and (2) whether “Duval County” included the suburban territory of Duval County.3 Silco further requested that if the Commission construed Silco’s authority to exclude the transport of Bunker C oil to and from Duval County’s suburban areas, Order 13509 be modified to include authority for that product and to and from that expanded territory. The Commission responded to Silco’s petition with Order 13885, which stated “that the authority issued to Silco Petroleum Carriers, Inc. be . modified and clarified so as to authorize the transportation of gasoline, diesel, gasoline [sic], fuel oil, No. 2 fuel oil and home heating oil between all points within Duval County and its suburban territory.” (Emphasis supplied.)

The Commission now asserts that Order 13885 was merely a “clarification” of Order 13509. It is abundantly clear to me, however, that Silco emerged from the declaratory statement proceeding with the right to transport more commodities within a larger territory than had been authorized under Order 13509.

Both the transportation of heavier oils and the scope of territorial boundaries had been the subject of express concern by the protestants in the original proceedings. In effect, the Commission has utilized the declaratory statement procedure to redetermine rights once fully resolved and, in so doing, has denied protestants’ procedural due process rights guaranteed in Florida’s Administrative Procedure Act. I would hold that the Commission’s modification of its final agency order in this case is wholly inconsistent with the purposes of section 120.565, Florida Statutes (1977), and that it represents an egregious departure from the essential requirements of law.
