11. SYSTEM OPERATIONAL PARAMETERS
11.1 Operating Plan. An Operating Plan affecting all firm Shippers will
be developed to coordinate the requirements and system operations
for each Month. The Operating Plan, which includes all scheduled
maintenance for each Month, will be the basis for Transporter's
operations during such Month to assure system integrity and
efficient operation of Transporter's transmission system. All
affected Parties will be required to conform their transportation
services to the Operating Plan, including responding to any Strained
Operating Condition ("SOC") or Critical Operating Condition issued
by Transporter. The Operating Plan for the year shall be posted on
Transporter's electronic bulletin board at least one Month prior to
the beginning of the year and will be updated at least Monthly
thereafter.
11.2 Critical Condition Procedures
(a) A Strained Operating Condition ("SOC") may be issued using the
notification procedures of Section 6.2(c)(iv) of this Tariff
in situations where in Transporter's reasonable judgment
general system flexibility, normally available Day to Day,
cannot be afforded to Shippers to accommodate minor variations
in receipt and delivery quantities from nominated levels.
Examples of such operating conditions include (1) when a
system outage occurs; (2) when extreme weather conditions
develop; (3) when line pack exceeds (above or below)
operational tolerances; or (4) when takes on a Shipper's
behalf deviate from its scheduled quantities by 5% or more.
The issuance of an SOC requests Shippers' voluntary support in
correcting over-performance or under-performance. An SOC does
not constitute a critical condition for purposes of the
Unauthorized Overrun Charge.
(b) If the SOC does not improve, Transporter, using its reasonable
judgment, may declare a Critical Operating Condition after the
SOC has been in effect for at least one intraday scheduling
cycle. The Critical Operating Condition will be issued using
the notification procedures of Section 6.2(c)(iv) of this
Tariff. The Critical Condition will be limited to the
smallest area of the system possible so that the fewest number
of Shippers are affected.
(c) During a Critical Operating Condition period, the Shipper
shall adjust receipts or deliveries to a level that varies
less than 3% from the scheduled volume for such Day or 100
dth, whichever is larger. If, the Shipper continues to under-
perform by failing to deliver or take the quantities it
scheduled for that flow Day, a Critical Condition Unauthorized
Overrun Charge shall be levied by Transporter to the Shipper
in the amount shown on the Statement of Rates sheet.
