Xcel Energy Services Inc., Northern States Power Company v. 
American Transmission Company, LLC; Notice of Complaint

    Take notice that on February 14, 2012, pursuant to section 206 of 
the Federal Power Act and Rule 206 of the Rules of Practice and 
Procedure of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission), 
Xcel Energy Services Inc. (XES) and Northern States Power Company 
(NSPW) collectively filed a formal complaint against American 
Transmission Company, LLC (ATC) regarding the construction and 
ownership of a proposed 145 mile, 345 kV electric transmission line 
connecting NSPW's facilities near La Crosse, Wisconsin, with ATC's 
facilities near Madison, Wisconsin. XES and NSPW request that the 
Commission (1) find that ATC has not compiled with express terms and 
conditions of the Transmission Owners Agreement and the Midwest ISO 
Tariff and (2) direct ATC to enter into negotiations with XES and NSPW 
to develop final terms and conditions for the shared ownership and 
construction of the La Cross-Madison Line.
    XES and NSPW certify that copies of the complaint were served on 
the contacts for ATC as listed on the Commission's list of Corporate 
Officials.
