Alaska Company v. TAPS Carriers, BP Pipelines (Alaska) Inc., 
ConocoPhillips, Transportation Alaska, Inc., ExxonMobil Pipeline 
Company, Koch Alaska Pipeline Company LLC, Unocal Pipeline Company; 
Notice of Complaint

December 19, 2005.
    Take notice that on December 14, 2005, Anadarko Petroleum 
Corporation, Tesoro Corporation, and Tesoro Alaska Company 
(collectively, Anadarko/Tesoro) filed a protest, complaint, motion to 
intervene, motion to consolidate, and request for hearing and other 
relief, against BP Pipelines (Alaska) Inc., ConocoPhillips 
Transportation Alaska, Inc., ExxonMobil Pipeline Company, Koch Alaska 
Pipeline Company LLC, and Unocal Pipeline Company (collectively, TAPS 
Carriers), pursuant to Rules 206, 211, 212, and 214 of the Commission's 
Rules of Practice and Procedures and sections 8, 9, 13, 15, and 16 of 
the Interstate Commerce Act , and the Commission's oil pipeline 
regulations at 18 CFR 343. Anadarko/Tesoro allege that the rates filed 
by TAPS Carriers for oil transportation on the TAPS are unjust, 
unreasonable, and unduly discriminatory under the ICA, and the 
Commission should suspend those rates, declare those rates subject to 
refund, initiate hearing procedures, establish just and reasonable 
rates as required by the ICA, and grant Anadarko/Tesoro refunds, 
reparations, damages (with interest), and other appropriate relief. 
Anadarko/Tesoro request that the Commission consolidate this protest 
and complaint with the ongoing proceedings concerning the TAPS 
Carriers' rates in Docket Nos. IS05-82 et al.
    Anadaro/Tesoro states that copies of the complaint were served on 
the designated contacts for BP Pipelines (Alaska), Inc. ConocoPhillips 
Transportation Alaska, Inc., ExxonMobile Pipeline Compnay, Koch Alaska 
Pipeline Company LLC., and Unocal Pipeline Company as listed in the 
individual company tariff filings, as well as on all persons on the 
official Commission service list.

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
