Energy Services Inc., (Complainant), on behalf of itself and 
Southwestern Public Service Company (SPS) filed a formal complaint 
against Southwest Power Pool, Inc. (Respondent) requesting the 
Commission to interpret the Respondent's Open Access Transmission 
Tariff and relevant business practices and find that the Respondent 
does not have the authority to unilaterally register assets to SPS 
without SPS's consent. The Complainant also requests an Order from the 
Commission directing the Respondent to remove the assets from the list 
of generation facilities for which SPS is registered in the Respondents 
EIS Market, until such time as SPS agrees to register these facilities 
itself.
    The Complainant requests fast track processing of its complaint due 
to the Respondents EIS Market schedule which commences operations on 
February 1, 2007.

be taken, but will not serve to make protestants parties to the
