[Docket No. OR11-20-000]
Tesoro Refining and Marketing Company, SFPP, L.P.; Notice of
Complaint
Take notice that on August 2, 2011, pursuant to Rule 206 of the
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 (1984); and section 1803
of the Energy Policy Act of 1992 (EPAct), Tesoro Refining and Marketing
Company (Complainant) filed a complaint against SFPP, L.P. (SFPP or
Respondent), challenging the justness and reasonableness of rates on
SFPP's North Line.
Complainant alleges that from at least May 1, 2010 to the present,
Respondent has charged unjust and unreasonable rates for transportation
on its North Line from Richmond and Concord, CA to Reno, NV under SFPP
FERC Tariff Nos. 179, 189, and 199.0.0. As a result, Complainant
alleges that Respondent has significantly over-recovered its cost of
service. Complainant requests that the Commission: (i) Convene an
evidentiary hearing with full rights to discovery; (ii) determine that
the rates established by Respondent under the tariffs specified above
are unjust and unreasonable; (iii) prescribe new rates that are just
and reasonable for future shipments of refined petroleum products on
Respondent's North Line; (iv) order SFPP to pay refunds, reparations
and damages, plus interest, to Complainant for shipments made by
Complainant under the tariffs specified above; (v) award Complainant
its costs and attorney's fees in prosecuting this Complaint; and (vi)
grant Complainant such other, different or additional relief as the
Commission may determine to be appropriate.
The Complainant certifies that copies of the complaint were served
on the contacts for the Respondent as listed on the Commission's list
of Corporate officials.
Any person desiring to intervene or to protest this filing must
file in accordance with Rules 211 and 214 of the Commission's Rules of
Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.211, 385.214). Protests will be
considered by the Commission in determining the
[[Page 49469]]
appropriate action to be taken, but will not serve to make protestants
parties to the proceeding. Any person wishing to become a party must
file a notice of intervention or motion to intervene, as appropriate.
The Respondent's answer and all interventions, or protests must be
