Shippers from obtaining capacity on Colonial in violation of Colonial's 
statutory common carrier duty set forth in section 1(4) of the 
Interstate Commerce Act (ICA). Tricon and Rockbriar assert that 
Colonial's practice violates the ICA's tariff publication requirement 
in section 6(1), as well as the Commission's regulations at 18 CFR 
341.0(b)(1), 341.3(b)(6), and 341.8. Tricon and Rockbriar assert that 
Colonial's New Shipper lockout policy is a facet of its prorationing 
policy, and a restriction on service, that has not been reviewed and 
approved by the Commission to be part of Colonial's Tariff.
    The Complainants certifies that copies of the complaint were served 
on the Respondents.

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.

interventions in lieu of paper using the ``eFiling'' link at http://www.ferc.gov. Persons unable to file electronically should submit an
