[Docket No. OR11-19-000]
Tesoro Refining and Marketing Company v. SFPP, L.P.; Notice of
Complaint
Take notice that on July 20, 2011, pursuant to Rule 206 of the
Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure of the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission (Commission), 18 CFR 385.206; the Procedural
Rules Applicable to Oil Pipeline Proceedings, 18 CFR 343.2; sections
1(4), 1(5), 8, 9, 13, 15, and 16 of the Interstate Commerce Act (ICA),
49 U.S.C. App. 1(4), 1(5), 8, 9, 13, 15, and 16 (1988); and section
1803 of the Energy Policy Act of 1992 (EPAct), Tesoro Refining and
Marketing Company (Tesoro) filed a formal complaint against SFPP, L.P.
(SFPP).
Tesoro alleges that because SFPP has over-recovered its cost of
service in 2010, and their proposed index-based rate increases exceed
the actual decrease in the pipeline's previous-year costs in such a
manner that substantially exacerbate that over-recovery, SFPP is not
entitled to raise its rates. Tesoro requests that the Commission
determine that the rates established by SFPP, L.P.
[[Page 45247]]

199.1.0, and 200.1.0 are unjust and unreasonable; prescribe new just
and reasonable for the SFPP interstate pipeline system; and order SFPP
to pay refunds, plus interest, to Tesoro for shipments made by Tesoro
under each of the tariffs specified above from July 1, 2011 through the
date on which the Commission resolves the issues presented in this
docket and related proceedings. Tesoro has also requested that the
Commission grant such other, different or additional relief as it may
determine to be appropriate.
Tesoro certifies that copies of the complaint were served on the
contacts for SFPP as listed on the Commission's list of Corporate
Officials.
