Ultramar Inc. v. SFPP, L.P.; Notice of Complaint

October 25, 1996.
    Take notice that on October 21, 1996, pursuant to sections 9, 
13(1), and 15(1) of the Interstate Commerce Act of 1887 (49 U.S.C. 
Secs. 9, 13(1), 15(1), Rule 206 of the Commission's Rules of Practice 
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.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
