GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
36. OPERATIONAL PARAMETERS (Contd.)
36.7 UNILATERAL ACTION
In the event that the requested or required actions under Sections
36.3 through 36.6 (the Advisory Actions, Directional Notices or
Critical Time Operational Flow Orders) are inadequate, or there is
insufficient time to carry out such procedures, Transporter may
periodically have to take unilateral action to maintain System
pressure and preserve the overall operational integrity of
Transporter's System (or any portion thereof). Transporter is
authorized to use all the resources of its System to such ends,
including, but not limited to adjusting line pack and supply
received into and deliveries from Transporter's System.
Transporter shall not, however, be responsible as a supplier of
Gas to any Shipper.
36.8 APPLICABILITY OF ACTIONS
In exercising its authority pursuant to Sections 36.3 through
36.7, Transporter shall generally direct its actions to Shippers
in the following sequence, to the extent such actions and/or
sequencing will tend to alleviate the situation to be addressed:
A. First, to any Shipper which has been identified to take
action and is causing disruption due to its failure to
maintain receipts and deliveries in Balance or to match
physical flows with nominated receipts or deliveries;
B. Second, to any Shipper which has been identified to take
action and has failed or is failing to take action to
anticipate a change in demand (i.e., a temperature sensitive
LDC or end user failing to respond to changes in weather);
C. Third, to any Shipper which has been identified to take
action and is operating in a manner which conflicts with
sound operational practices in relation to Transporter's
System; and
D. Lastly, to all other Shippers.
