Williams Power Company, Inc., Complainant v. California 
Independent System Operator Corp., Respondent; Notice of Complaint

January 18, 2005.
    Take notice that on January 14, 2005, Williams Power Company, Inc. 
(Williams) filed a complaint under section 206 of the Federal Power Act 
16 U.S.C. 824e and section 206 of the Commission's Rules of Practice 
and Procedures 18 CFR 385.206, against the California Independent 
System Operator Corporation (CAISO). Williams charges that the CAISO 
has improperly and unlawfully applied an unapproved tolerance band 
procedure to deprive minimum load cost compensation (MLCC) to 
generating units operating under the must-offer obligation when 
returning from a CAISO dispatch instruction. Williams requests a 
determination that the CAISO's unilateral application of this procedure 
has not been authorized by the Commission and is therefore unlawful. 
Williams requests that the Commission direct the CAISO to reverse the 
application of this procedure in each and every instance that it 
applied the procedure, and that the Commission direct the CAISO to 
immediately pay MLCC, plus interest, in which the CAISO imparoperly 
denied MLCC by virtue of the application in this procedure.
    Williams states that this complaint has been served on the CAISO.
    Any person desiring to intervene or to protest this filing must 
file in accordance with Rules 211 and 214 of the Commission's Rules of 
Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.211 and 385.214). 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 notice of 
intervention or motion to intervene, as appropriate. The Respondent's 
answer and all interventions, or protests must be filed on or before 
the comment date. The Respondent's answer, motions to intervene, and 
protests must be served on the Complainants.
    The Commission encourages electronic submission of protests and 
interventions in lieu of paper using the ``eFiling'' link at http://www.ferc.gov. Persons unable to file electronically should submit an 
original and 14 copies of the protest or intervention to the Federal 
Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 
20426.
    This filing is accessible on-line at http://www.ferc.gov, using the 
``eLibrary'' link and is available for review in the Commission's
