Gaviota Terminal Co.; Complaint

March 11, 1994.
    Take notice that on February 28, 1994, The Producer Group filed a 
complaint with the Commission concerning the February 4, 1994 tariff 
filing made by Gaviota Terminal Co. (Gaviota), with a proposed 
effective date of February 14, 1994. The Producer Group complains that 
the failure of Gaviota to file a tariff prior to February 4, 1994 was 
in violation of the Interstate Commerce Act for which appropriate 
sanctions should be provided.
    The Producer Group states that Gaviota has been operating since 
June 1991, and had not submitted a tariff to the Commission until it 
made its February 4, 1994 filing, notwithstanding that it is an 
interstate oil transportation company subject to the terms of the 
Interstate Commerce Act. The Producer Group states that oil pipelines, 
such as Gaviota, are obligated to file their jurisdictional rates for 
the Commission's examination, and that Gaviota, for almost three years, 
provided oil transportation service without a tariff being on file.
    The Producer Group requests the Commission to establish a 
reasonable rate for the period during which Gaviota operated without a 
tariff and to order refunds for any past payments in excess of that 
rate.
    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, 825 North Capitol 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 April 11, 1994. 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 April 11, 1994.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
