[Docket No. OR11-8-000]


Flint Hills Resources Alaska, LLC; Notice of Petition for 
Declaratory Order

    Take notice that on May 3, 2011, in accordance with Rule 207(a)(2) 
of the Rules of Practice and Procedure of the Federal Energy Regulatory 
Commission (18 CFR 385.207(a)(2)(2010)), Flint Hills Resources Alaska, 
LLC (Flint Hills) filed a petition for an order declaring that an as-
yet unfiled, but anticipated, revision to the tariffs and documents 
governing transportation of crude oil on the Trans Alaskan Pipeline 
System (TAPS) is unjust, unreasonable and unduly discriminatory and 
therefore, unlawful.
    Flint Hills states that the anticipated revision would impose a 
minimum temperature requirement of 105 degrees F for residual crude oil 
that Flint Hills returns to TAPS after the oil has been shipped 300 
miles from Prudhoe Bay to Flint Hills' North Pole Refinery, where the 
crude oil is received at 40 degrees F, refined into products, with the 
residual stream returned to TAPS for resumption of its transportation 
to Valdez, Alaska.
    Any person desiring to intervene or to protest in this proceeding 
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) on or 
before 5 p.m. Eastern time on the specified comment date. It is not 
necessary to separately intervene again in a subdocket related to a 
compliance filing if you have previously intervened in the same docket. 
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. Anyone filing a motion to intervene or 
protest must serve a copy of that document on the Applicant. In 
reference to filings initiating a new proceeding, interventions or 
protests submitted on or before the comment deadline need not be served 
on persons other than the Applicant.
    The Commission encourages electronic submission of protests and 
interventions in lieu of paper, using the FERC Online links at http://www.ferc.gov. To facilitate electronic service, persons with Internet 
access who will eFile a document and/or be listed as a contact for an

    Persons unable to file electronically should submit an original and
