03-23390. Tesoro Refining and Marketing Company v. Frontier Pipeline Company; Notice of Complaint

September 9, 2003.

Take notice that on September 5, 2003, Tesoro Refining and Marketing Company (Tesoro) tendered for filing a Complaint against Frontier Pipeline Company (Frontier).

Tesoro states that it is an interstate shipper of crude oil on a pipeline that Frontier owns and operates between Casper, Wyoming and Ranch Station, Utah. Tesoro states that Frontier has been charging unjust and unreasonable rates for the shipment of crude oil on that pipeline as evidenced by the FERC Form 6 that Frontier filed with the Commission for 2001 and 2002. Tesoro further maintains that the additional analysis of Frontier's revenues and costs as contained in the Complaint further evidences Frontier's overcharges on its crude oil pipeline.
