2012-5540. California Independent System Operator Corporation; Notice of Complaint

Take notice that on February 29, 2012, pursuant to sections 206, 306, and 309 of the Federal Power Act, 16 U.S.C. 824e, 825e, and 825h, and section 206 of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission) Rules of Practice and Procedure, 18 CFR 385.206, California Independent System Operator Corporation (Complainant) filed a formal complaint requesting that the Commission modify sections 22.1 and 22.4 of the Transmission Control Agreement (TCA) to revise the standard for a determination of liability or indemnity from an ordinary negligence standard to a gross negligence standard. The Complainant challenges that the TCA would be unjust, unreasonable, and unduly discriminatory without the revisions.

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 filed on or before the comment date. The Respondent's answer, motions to intervene, and protests must be served on the Complainants.
