Take notice that on October 21, 1996, pursuant to sections 9,

and Procedure (18 CFR 385.206), and the Commission's Procedural Rules
Applicable to Oil Pipeline Proceedings (18 CFR 343.1(c)), Ultramar Inc.
(Ultramar) tendered for filing a complaint against charges collected by
SFPP, L.P. (SFPP) for the pipeline transportation of petroleum
products.
Ultramar complains against charges collected under Tariffs Nos. 15,
16, 17, and 18 (and their successor tariffs) for transportation over
SFPP's West Line system from Watson Station in California to
destination points in Arizona and to an intermediate point in
California.
Ultramar complains that as a result of changed economic
circumstances, the foregoing charges have been and are unjust,
unreasonable, and unduly discriminatory and preferential in violation
of sections 1(5), 8, and 15(1) of the Act. 49 U.S.C. Secs. 1(5), (8),
15(1). Ultramar seeks the refund of all such unlawful charges collected
by SFPP and the establishment of rates that are just, reasonable, and
non-discriminatory.
Ultramar requests that the Commission (1) investigate the rates
collected by SFPP for transportation through the West Line, (2) order
refunds to Ultramar to the extent that the Commission finds that the
rates are unlawful, (3) determine and prescribe just, reasonable, and
non-discriminatory rates for the West Line, and (4) award Ultramar
reasonable attorney's fees and costs.
Any person desiring to be heard or to protest said complaint should
file a motion to intervene or a protest with the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426, in
accordance with Rules 214 and 211 of the Commission's Rules of Practice
and Procedure 18 CFR 385.214, 385.211. All such motions or protests
should be filed on or before November 25, 1996. Protests will be
considered by the Commission in determining the 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 motion to
intervene. Copies of this filing are on file with the Commission and
are available for public inspection. Answers to this complaint shall be
due on or before November 25, 1996.
