GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
----------------------------
32.4 OPERATIONAL CONTROL SEQUENCE
In the event KMIP'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, KMIP is empowered
by this Section to take action to alleviate this situation. In
responding to such a situation, KMIP shall first apply the Advisory
Action procedures of Section 32.5. If such measures are not
sufficient to address the situation fully, KMIP shall next employ
Operational Flow Orders as provided in Section 32.6. In the event
Operational Flow Orders alone are not adequate, KMIP may invoke the
Critical Time procedures set out in Section 32.7. Finally, KMIP may
take unilateral action as provided in Section 32.8. 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 tend to alleviate the situation to be
addressed. In issuing Advisory Actions, Operational Flow Orders or
declaring a Critical Time, KMIP shall describe the conditions and
the specific responses required from the affected parties. To the
extent practicable, KMIP shall direct its actions hereunder to
Shippers creating or anticipated to create the situation to be
addressed and shall act consistent with Sections 32.9 and 32.10.
Nothing herein shall preclude KMIP from bypassing any of the above
procedures if, in its judgment, the situation so requires. KMIP will
keep Shippers advised through its Interactive Website on the status
of the situation.
32.5 ADVISORY ACTIONS
In the event KMIP determines that action is required to
avoid a situation in which system pressure is not maintained or in
which the overall operational integrity of the system or any portion
of the system is jeopardized, KMIP may take the Advisory Actions set
out herein to forestall the development of such a situation.
(a) Before taking any other action hereunder, KMIP
will interrupt, curtail or require adjustment to or supply shift in
service to interruptible Shippers to the extent such action will
address the situation creating operational concern.
(b) KMIP may request Shippers or other entities
affecting its System to take any of the following actions, or other
similar actions, to the extent such actions would tend to alleviate
the situation, on a voluntary basis:
