GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
15. OPERATIONAL FLOW ORDERS
15.1 General
Transporter shall have the right to issue operational flow orders
(OFO) as specified in this Section 15 which require actions by the
Shippers in order to alleviate conditions which threaten the
integrity of Transporter's Facility, to maintain pipeline
operations at the pressures required to provide an efficient and
reliable transportation service to all Shippers, and to maintain
Transporter's Facility in balance for the foregoing purposes.
Before issuing an OFO, Transporter will attempt to identify
specific Shippers causing a problem and attempt to remedy those
problems with those Shippers. If an OFO is issued by Transporter
pursuant to this Section 15, Transporter shall not be required to
curtail or suspend service to a Shipper(s) whose current use of
Transporter's Facility mitigates the operating conditions on which
the OFO is based regardless of the class of service utilized by
that Shipper(s). Shipper's response to any specified gas
quantities provision contained in an OFO shall be subject to the
provisions of Section 15.2 to the extent that the actual
quantities of gas involved in Shipper's response to the OFO are
greater than one hundred and five (105) percent or less than
ninety-five (95) percent of the specified gas quantities provision
contained in the OFO.
15.2 Penalty
(a) All quantities tendered to Transporter and/or taken by
Shipper(s) on a daily basis in violation of Transporter's
OFO shall constitute unauthorized receipts or deliveries for
which a charge of $25 per Dth shall be assessed and paid by
Shipper(s).
(b) Penalty Crediting: Net penalties shall be credited back to
shippers that complied with the OFO (compliant shippers).
Transporter's out-of-pocket expenses incurred or revenues
foregone as a direct result of the OFO violation(s) shall
reduce any penalties collected to determine the net penalty
amount to be credited. The net penalty amount shall be
credited to the second month's invoice from the month of
collection and shall be credited based on the pro rata share
of transportation revenue reflected on each compliant
shipper's invoice for the month of the OFO violation. If
direct expenses or foregone revenues are greater than the
penalty collected no crediting shall occur.
