Southwest Power Pool, Inc. v. Midcontinent Independent System 
Operator, Inc.; Notice of Complaint

    Take notice that on January 28, 2014, pursuant to sections 206 and 
306 of the Federal Power Act, 16 U.S.C. 824(e) and 825(e) and Rule 206 
of the Rules of Practice and Procedure of the Federal Energy Regulatory 
Commission (Commission), 18 CFR 385.206, Southwest Power Pool, Inc. 
(Complainant) filed a formal complaint against Midcontinent Independent 
System Operator, Inc. (Respondent) alleging that, the Respondent is 
violating (1) the Joint Operating Agreement (JOA) between the 
Complainant and Respondent and (2) Complainant's Open Access 
Transmission Tariff (Tariff), requiring the Respondent to compensate 
the Complainant for use of the Complainant's transmission system in 
accordance with the Complainant's tariff. Alternatively, Complainant 
requests that the Commission find that the JOA is no longer just, 
reasonable, and not unduly discriminatory to the extent it does not 
provide a mechanism by which the Complaint may assess charges for 
Respondent's use of the Complainant transmission system.
    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. 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
