16.4 Shipper Emergency Situation. If a firm Shipper seeks relief from
a proposed curtailment for a Shipper Emergency Situation,
Pipeline may adjust the curtailment and any applicable OFO as
necessary.
(a) While Pipeline may make adjustments in curtailment promptly
on notification by Shipper, Shipper must provide Pipeline,
within 24 hours of Shipper’s relief request, a sworn
statement including:
(1) a detailed explanation of, and an estimated duration
of, the emergency;
(2) affirmation that all sources of gas supply available
to Shipper, including peak-shaving and storage, were
and are being used to the maximum extent possible to
resolve the emergency during the time period for
which the emergency exception to the curtailment
provisions of this Section 16 is in effect;
(3) affirmation that all interruptible loads served by
Shipper were and are being discontinued to resolve
the emergency during the time period for which the
emergency exception to the curtailment provisions of
this Section 16 is in effect;
(4) affirmation that no alternate fuel could be used or
is available to be used to prevent the necessity for
an emergency exception to the curtailment provisions
of this Section 16; and
(5) affirmation that Shipper has made and continues to
make all feasible efforts to resolve the emergency,
including requests for waiver, exemption, exception,
and other relief from any regulation, directive,
order, or other requirement of a governmental body.
(b) Shipper shall provide Pipeline immediate notice of the
cessation of the Shipper Emergency Situation.
Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 16.4,
however, Shipper shall not be entitled to relief under this
Section 16.4: (i) to the extent that a Shipper Emergency
Situation is due to Shipper’s failure to have adequate
transportation service arrangements in effect for the
delivery of Shipper’s gas at the Receipt Points or Delivery
Points during the relevant period; or (ii) to the extent
that the quantity of gas required to meet a Shipper
Emergency Situation exceeds Shipper’s firm contractual
rights.
