North American Natural Resources, Inc. Complainant v. PJM 
Interconnection, L.L.C, American Electric Power Service Corporation, 
Indiana Michigan Power Company, Respondents; Notice of Complaint

    Take notice that on October 2, 2012, pursuant to section 206 of the 
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission) Rules of Practice 
and Procedure, 18 CFR 385.206 and sections 206 of the Federal Power Act 
(FPA), 16 U.S.C. 824(e), North American Natural Resource, Inc. (NSANR) 
filed a formal complaint against PJM Interconnection, L.L.C, (PJM), 
American Electric Power Service Corporation (AEP), and AEP's wholly 
owned subsidiary Indiana Michigan Power Company (I & M) alleging, that 
contrary to sections 1.7A.02, 1.3A, 1.17A, 1.26, 212.4, 217.3, 205, 206 
and 217 of PJM's Open Access Transmission Tariff (OATT), the 
Interconnection Construction Service Agreement (ICSA) between AEP and 
NANR, the Interconnection Service Agreement (ISA) between AEP and NANR, 
the Commission's Order No. 2003 \1\ and other applicable FERC 
decisions, and the FPA, AEP and PJM have refused to properly categorize 
$2,269,012 of the interconnection costs as Network Upgrades and 
allocate those costs to AEP and its customers, failed to update AEP's 
Regional Transmission System Expansion (RTEP) and wrongfully foisted 
the costs of the Network Upgrades onto NANR by mischaracterizing them 
as Attachment Facilities, and wrongfully utilized the interconnection 
of Project T-111 as a means of upgrading its inadequate 69 kV line, 
which had previously not included adequate re-closing or breaker 
failure protection, and replacing obsolete relays and other equipment.
