Any person, electric utility, State, municipality, or State
commission complaining of anything done or omitted to be done by
any licensee, transmitting utility, or public utility in
contravention of the provisions of this chapter may apply to the
Commission by petition which shall briefly state the facts,
whereupon a statement of the complaint thus made shall be forwarded
by the Commission to such licensee, transmitting utility, or public
utility, who shall be called upon to satisfy the complaint or to
answer the same in writing within a reasonable time to be specified
by the Commission. If such licensee, transmitting utility, or
public utility shall not satisfy the complaint within the time
specified or there shall appear to be any reasonable ground for
investigating such complaint, it shall be the duty of the
Commission to investigate the matters complained of in such manner
and by such means as it shall find proper.
