E6-21051. Tesoro Refining and Marketing Company, Complainants v. SFPP, L.P., Respondent; Notice of Complaint

December 4, 2006.

Take notice that on December 1, 2006, Tesoro Refining and Marketing Company (Tesoro) filed a formal complaint against SFPP, L.P. pursuant to Rule 206 of the Rules of Practice and Procedure of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission; the Procedural Rules Applicable to Oil Pipeline Proceedings of the Interstate Commerce Act; and section 1803 of the Energy Policy Act of 1992.

Complainant alleges that SFPP's North Line rates are unjust and unreasonable. Complainant requests that the Commission determine that the rates established by SFPP for the shipment of refined petroleum products are so substantially in excess of SFPP's actual costs as to be unjust and unreasonable; prescribe new rates that are just and reasonable for the shipment of refined petroleum products on SFPP's North line; determine that SFPP overcharged Tesoro for shipments of refined petroleum products on SFPP's North line from at least December 1, 2004 to the present, and is continuing to overcharge Tesoro for such shipments; order SFPP to pay refunds, reparations and damages, plus interest to Tesoro for shipments made by Tesoro on the North Line from December 1, 2004; award Tesoro it costs and attorneys fees in prosecurting this Complaint; and grant Tesoro such other, different or additional relief as the Commission 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 and on SFPPs counsel.
