GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Electronic Bulletin Board
D. System Alerts. Pipeline may issue a "System
Alert" to notify Customers of operating conditions on
its system, changes in operating conditions and other
system developments that may affect scheduling. A
System Alert is an informal notice of possible future
conditions or developing conditions on the system; by
itself, a System Alert does not change any Customer's
penalty position. To the extent that reliable
information relevant to possible issuance of an OFO or
other status of the system is available, DTI will
publish it on the EBB. Pipeline shall also e-mail
notice of the System Alert to affected Customers if
they have designated an e-mail address for a contact
person pursuant to section 11B.4.F of the General
Terms and Conditions. If a System Alert indicates
that an OFO or OFO advisory may be imminent, Pipeline
will advise what action is requested and what future
actions may be mandated if voluntary steps are not
taken. Under such circumstances, Customers are asked
to comply as quickly as possible with the System
Alert, to reduce the need for further action by
Pipeline. Customers should be prepared to act on
short notice. System Alerts may be directed to all
Customers, or to specific Customers on a not unduly
discriminatory basis. By issuing a System Alert,
Pipeline shall not be precluded from issuing an OFO
advisory or an OFO, if circumstances ultimately
require. The System Alert is intended to give
Customers the opportunity for voluntary compliance,
rather than requiring mandatory action under the OFO
provisions of this tariff.
E. Operational Flow Orders. Pipeline shall post each
operational flow order ("OFO") issued by Pipeline, as
more fully described in Section 11B.1, above,
regardless of the duration or scope of its
effectiveness; provided, however, that certain OFOs
applicable on a customer-specific basis shall be
directly communicated to the Affected Customer by e-
mail or fax. System-wide notices should have a
separate category for notices that are not critical.
F. Curtailment.
1. Pipeline may issue OFO's to curtail, interrupt or
discontinue deliveries within three hours, or upon
shorter notice if Pipeline determines that action
is required to protect the integrity of its system
and operations.
2. Customers who seek to negotiate voluntary
relinquishments of gas or capacity during curtailment
may post notices on Pipeline's EBB to facilitate
such transactions.
G. Operations Notices. Pipeline shall also post notice of
various operating circumstances and events on its EBB.
1. From time to time, Pipeline may post information on various
facilities, including outages scheduled for maintenance.
2. Notice of operating constraints preventing winter
injections.
3. Notice of Receipt Points where Winter Period injection may
be made.
