Dynegy Power Marketing, Inc., Mirant Americas Energy Marketing, 
LP, Mirant California, LLC, and Williams Energy Marketing & Trade, 
Complainants, v. California Independent System Operator Corporation, 
Respondent; Notice of Complaint

December 19, 2001.
    Take notice that on December 18, 2001, Dynegy Power Marketing, 
Inc., Mirant Americas Energy Marketing, LP, Mirant California, LLC, and 
Williams Energy Marketing & Trading Company (Complainants) submitted a 
complaint against the California Independent System Operator 
Corporation (CAISO) alleging that the CAISO is acting unlawfully by 
implementing changes to its operating procedures related to Intra-Zonal 
Congestion Management and implementing market rule modifications for 
importers without first seeking authorization under section 205 of the 
Federal Power Act. Complainants further allege that certain operating 
procedures violate the terms of the Commission-approved reliability 
must-run contracts.
    Accordingly, Complainants request that the Commission issue an 
immediate order directing the CAISO to operate under its prior 
operating procedures until such time as the CAISO has received all 
Commission authorizations to make these changes. Complainants also 
request that Commission Staff hold a technical conference to develop a 
60-minute market.
    Copies of this filing were served upon the CAISO and other 
interested parties.
    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 January 7, 2002. 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 
January 7, 2002. Copies of this filing are on file with the Commission
