[Docket No. OR05-10-000]


BP Pipelines (Alaska) Inc., ConocoPhillips Transportation Alaska, 
Inc., ExxonMobil Pipeline Company, Koch Alaska Pipeline Company, 
L.L.C., Unocal Pipeline Company; Notice of Petition

July 29, 2005.
    Take notice that on July 20, 2005, BP Pipelines (Alaska) Inc., 
ConocoPhillips Transportation Alaska, Inc., ExxonMobil Pipeline, Koch 
Alaska Pipeline Company LLC, and Unocal Pipeline Company (The TAPS 
Carriers) tendered for filing a petition pursuant to sections 13(3) and 
13(4) of the Interstate Commerce Act, 49 U.S.C. App. 13(3), 13(4) 
(1995).
    The TAPS Carriers allege that the 2005 rates set by the Regulatory 
Commission of Alaska (RCA) for intrastate transportation on the Trans 
Alaska Pipeline System (TAPS) are unlawful because they create an undue 
preference in favor of intrastate shippers and are unjustly 
discriminatory against and an undue burden on interstate commerce. The 
TAPS Carriers ask that the Commission investigate the RCA-set TAPS 
intrastate rates, find those rates to be unduly preferential and 
unjustly discriminatory against and an undue burden on interstate 
commerce, and set new TAPS intrastate rates equal to (in the case of 
deliveries to Valdez) or comparable to (in the case of deliveries to 
intermediate points) the TAPS interstate rates. In addition, The TAPS 
Carriers seek to have the consideration of their petition consolidated 
with the on-going proceedings in Docket Nos. IS05-82-000, et al. 
(consolidated).
    The TAPS Carriers state that copies of the petition were served on 
all parties listed on the official service list for the consolidated 
proceedings in docket Nos. IS05-82-000, et al.
    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. Such notices, 
motions, or protests must be filed on or before the date as indicated

that document on the Applicant. Anyone filing an intervention or 
protest on or before the intervention or protest date need not serve 
motions to intervene or protests on persons other than the Applicant.
