GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
36. OPERATIONAL PARAMETERS (Contd.)
36.3 OPERATIONAL CONTROL SEQUENCE
A. In the event Transporter's observations or projections
indicate that a situation is or may be developing in which
adequate pressures may not be maintained or the overall
operational integrity of its System (or any portion thereof)
could be threatened, or in the event that such a situation
actually occurs, Transporter is authorized by this section to
take action to alleviate this situation. In responding to
the projected development of such a situation, Transporter
shall first apply the Advisory Action procedures of Section
36.4. If such measures are not sufficient and the situation
continues to deteriorate, Transporter shall next employ
Directional Notices as provided in Section 36.5. In the
event Directional Notices alone are not adequate, and the
situation becomes worse, Transporter may invoke the Critical
Time Operational Flow Order procedures set out in Section
36.6. Finally, Transporter may take unilateral action as
provided in Section 36.7. The procedures set out in such
provisions, and their sequencing, are intended to be applied
only to the extent any of the specific actions indicated, or
such sequencing, would be anticipated to alleviate the
situation to be addressed. In issuing Advisory Actions,
Directional Notices or Critical Time Operational Flow Orders,
Transporter shall describe the specific System conditions,
including providing available information that led
Transporter to conclude that the particular action requested
of Shipper(s) is appropriate, and the specific responses
required from the affected parties.
B. To the extent that specific actions can be reasonably
identifiable, Transporter shall direct its actions hereunder
to Shippers creating or anticipated to create the situation
to be addressed and shall act consistent with Section 36.8.
Nothing herein shall preclude Transporter from bypassing any
of the above procedures if, in its judgment, the situation
so requires. Transporter will keep Shippers advised on the
status of the situation through the Informational Postings
portion of Transporter's Interactive Website.
