Complainants v. SFPP, L.P., Respondent; Notice of Complaint

    Take notice that on August 17, 2000, pursuant to Rule 206 of the 
Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.206) and the 
Procedural Rules Applicable to Oil Pipeline Procedures (18 CFR 
343.1(a)), Ultramar Diamond Shamrock Corporation and Ultramar Inc. 
(collectively referred to herein as Ultramar), tendered for filing a 
Complaint in the captioned proceeding. Ultramar alleges that SFPP, L.P. 
(SFPP) has violated and continues to violate the Interstate Commerce 
Act, 49 U.S.C. App 1 et seq. by charging unjust and unreasonable rates 
as it respects all of SFPP's jurisdictional interstate services 
associated with its East, West, North, and Oregon Lines as more fully 
set forth in the complaint.
    Ultramar respectfully requests that the Commission: (1) Examine 
SFPP's challenged rates and charges for all its jurisdictional 
interstate services and declare that such rates and charges are unjust 
and unreasonable; (2) order refunds and/or reparations to Ultramar, 
including appropriate interest thereon, for the applicable refund and/
or reparation periods to the extent the Commission finds that such 
rates and charges are unlawful; (3) determine just, reasonable, and 
nondiscriminatory rates for all of SFPP's jurisdictional interstate 
services; (4) award Ultramar reasonable attorney's fees and costs; and 
(5) order such other relief as may be appropriate.
    Ultramar states that it has served the Complaint on SFPP. Pursuant 
to Rule 343.4 of the Commission's Procedural Rules Applicable to Oil 
Pipeline Proceedings, SFPP's response to this Complaint is due within 
30 days of the filing of the Complaint.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to protest such filing should

Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20426, 
in accordance with Rules 211 and 214 of the Commission's Rules of 
Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.211 and 385.214). All such motions 
and protests should be filed on or before September 7, 2000. Protests
