[Docket No. EL02-25-000]


Intermountain Rural Electric Association, Complainant, v. Public 
Service Company of Colorado, Respondent; Notice of Complaint

November 26, 2001.
    Take notice that on November 23, 2001, the Intermountain Rural 
Electric Association (IREA) tendered for filing a ``Complaint And 
Request For Investigation And Refunds'' against Public Service Company 
of Colorado (PSCO). IREA's Complaint alleges that PSCO has included 
costs in the Fuel Cost Adjustment charge under IREA's Power Purchase 
Agreement with PSCO, on file with the Commission as PSCO Rate Schedule 
FERC No. 51, which costs and charges are unjust, unreasonable, and 
unduly discriminatory, and therefore unlawful under the Federal Power 
Act. IREA seeks refunds, plus interest, of the alleged unlawful charges 
it has paid to PSCO and a Commission order requiring PSCO to revise its 
accounting procedures and power marketing activities or, in the 
alternative, a Commission investigation and hearing, with the outcome 
subject to refund.
    Copies of the Complaint were served, simultaneous with filing with 
the Commission, on PSCO, its parent company Exel Energy, Inc., and the 
Public Utilities Commission of the State of Colorado.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to protest this filing should 
file a motion to intervene or protest with the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 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 or 
protests must be filed on or before December 13, 2001. 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. Answers to the complaint shall also be due on or before 
December 13, 2001. Copies of this filing are on file with the 
Commission and are available for public inspection. This filing may 
also be viewed on the web at http://www.ferc.gov using the ``RIMS'' 
link, select ``Docket#'' and follow the instructions (call 202-208-2222

385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions on the Commission's web site
