 Notice of Complaint; Louisiana Public Service Commission v. 
Entergy Corporation, Entergy Services, Inc., Entergy Louisiana, LLC, 
Entergy Arkansas, Inc., Entergy Mississippi, Inc., Entergy New Orleans, 
Inc., Entergy Gulf States Louisiana, LLC, Entergy Texas, Inc.

    Take notice that on September 14, 2011, the Louisiana Public 
Service Commission (Complainant) filed a formal complaint against 
Entergy Corporation., Entergy Services, Inc., Entergy Louisiana, LLC, 
Entergy Arkansas, Inc., Entergy Mississippi, Inc., Entergy New Orleans, 
Inc., Entergy Gulf States Louisiana, L.L.C., and Entergy Texas, Inc. 
pursuant to sections 205, 206 and 306 of the Federal Power Act, 16 USC 
824e and 825(e) and 18 CFR 386.206 of the Commission's Rules of 
Practice and Procedures, seeking a determination that the allocation by 
Entergy Corporation of the costs for required transmission upgrades 
associated with the Ouachita power plant to Entergy Louisiana, LLC, 
violates the Federal Power Act, Entergy's Open Access Transmission 
Tariff and constitutes affiliate abuse. In addition, the Complainant 
claims that the failure to recognize post-2012 benefits flowing from 
the Settlement Agreement between Entergy Arkansas, Inc. and Union 
Pacific Corporation of a contractual dispute over the delivery of coal 
supplies in the MSS-3 rough equalization calculation or some other 
remedy is unjust, unreasonable and unduly discriminatory.
    The Complainant certifies that copies of the complaint were served 
on the contacts for Entergy Corporation, Entergy Services, Inc., 
Entergy Louisiana, LLC, Entergy Arkansas, Inc., Entergy Mississippi 
Inc., Entergy New Orleans, Inc., Entergy Gulf States Louisiana, Inc., 
and Entergy Texas, Inc. as listed on the Commission's list of Corporate 
Officials.

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
