Tesoro Refining and Marketing Company, SFPP, L.P.; Notice of 
Complaint

    Take notice that on August 2, 2011, pursuant to Rule 206 of the 
Rules of Practice and Procedure of the Federal Energy Regulatory 
Commission (Commission), 18 CFR 385.206, the Procedural Rules 
Applicable to Oil Pipeline Proceedings, 18 CFR 343.2, sections 1(4), 
1(5), 8, 9, 13, 15, and 16 of the Interstate Commerce Act (ICA), 49 
U.S.C. App. 1(4), 1(5), 8, 9, 13, 15, and 16 (1984); and section 1803 
of the Energy Policy Act of 1992 (EPAct), Tesoro Refining and Marketing 
Company (Complainant) filed a complaint against SFPP, L.P. (SFPP or 
Respondent), challenging the justness and reasonableness of rates on 
SFPP's North Line.
    Complainant alleges that from at least May 1, 2010 to the present, 
Respondent has charged unjust and unreasonable rates for transportation 
on its North Line from Richmond and Concord, CA to Reno, NV under SFPP 
FERC Tariff Nos. 179, 189, and 199.0.0. As a result, Complainant 
alleges that Respondent has significantly over-recovered its cost of 
service. Complainant requests that the Commission: (i) Convene an 
evidentiary hearing with full rights to discovery; (ii) determine that 
the rates established by Respondent under the tariffs specified above 
are unjust and unreasonable; (iii) prescribe new rates that are just 
and reasonable for future shipments of refined petroleum products on 
Respondent's North Line; (iv) order SFPP to pay refunds, reparations 
and damages, plus interest, to Complainant for shipments made by 
Complainant under the tariffs specified above; (v) award Complainant 
its costs and attorney's fees in prosecuting this Complaint; and (vi) 
grant Complainant such other, different or additional relief as the 
Commission may determine to be appropriate.
    The Complainant certifies that copies of the complaint were served 
on the contacts for the Respondent as listed on the Commission's list 
of Corporate officials.
    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.
