Nexen Marketing U.S.A., Inc. Complainant, v. Belle Fourche 
Pipeline Company, Respondent; Notice of Complaint

July 9, 2007.
    Take notice that on July 5, 2007, Nexen Marketing U.S.A., Inc. 
(Nexen) filed a formal complaint against Belle Fourche Pipeline Company 
(Belle Fourche) pursuant to Rule 206 of the Rules of Practice and 
Procedure of the Commission's regulations, 18 CFR 343.2; 385.206, the 
Procedural Rules Applicable to Oil Pipeline Proceedings, 18 CFR 343.2, 
sections 1(4), 1(5), 1(6), 2, 3(1), 15(1), and 16 of the Interstate 
Commerce Act , 49 U.S.C. App. 1(4), 1(5), 2, 3(1), 8, 9, 13, 15, and 16 
(1984); and section 1803 of the Energy Policy Act of 1992 (EPAct).
    Nexen alleges that the Transportation Services Agreement (TSA) that 
Belle Fourche transmitted to prospective shippers on June 27, 2007, 
violates the Interstate Commerce Act, is discriminatory, unjust and 
unreasonable and unlawfully abrogates shipper rights. Nexen requests 
that the Commission order Belle Fourche to desist from shipping any 
crude oil on its Expansion Pipeline from Baker, MT to Alexander, ND on 
the basis of the terms and conditions of the TSA that Belle Fourche 
transmitted to shippers for signature on June 27, 2007; determine that 
sections 4.01, 5.05, 6.02, 8.01(a) and 8.02, Article VII, VIII(a) and 
XIX and Attachment D of the Belle Fourche TSA are unlawful and 
unenforceable; order Belle Fourche to pay Nexen any refunds, 
reparations, or damages, plus interest, that the Commission determines 
are appropriate; resolve this complaint on an expedited basis; and 
grant Nexen such other, different or additional relief as the 
Commission may determine to be appropriate.
    Nexen certifies that copies of the complaint were served on the 
Belle Fourche contact as listed on its TSA.
    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, 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
