GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS (Continued)
14.4 Applicability of OFO: Transporter shall make an OFO as localized
as is reasonably practicable based on Transporter's good faith and
reasonable judgment concerning the situations requiring
remediation such that an OFO will be directed (1) first to
Shippers/Balancing Parties causing the problem necessitating the
OFO or transporting gas in the area of the system in which there
is an operational problem, and (2) second to those
Shippers/Balancing Parties transporting gas in the area of the
system where action is required to correct the problem
necessitating the OFO. Transporter will tailor the OFO to match
the severity of the known or anticipated operational problem
requiring remediation as more fully set forth in subsections 14.6
and 14.7.
14.5 Notice: All OFO's will be issued via telephone to be followed by
a facsimile to the affected Shipper/Balancing Party, with
subsequent posting on LINK®, and notification to the affected
parties through the affected party's choice of Electronic Notice
Delivery mechanism(s). The OFO will set forth (1) the time and
date of issuance, (2) the actions Shipper/Balancing Party is
required to take, (3) the time by which Shipper/Balancing Party
must be in compliance with the OFO, (4) the anticipated duration
of the OFO, and (5) any other terms that Transporter may
reasonably require to ensure the effectiveness of the OFO. Each
Shipper and Balancing Party must designate one or more persons,
but not more than three persons, for Transporter to contact on
operating matters at any time, on a 24-hour a day, 365-day a year
basis. Such contact persons must have adequate authority and
expertise to deal with such operating matters. If Transporter
cannot contact any Shipper/Balancing Party because that
Shipper/Balancing Party has failed to designate a contact person
or Shipper's/Balancing Party's contact person is unavailable,
Transporter shall not be responsible for any consequences that
could have been prevented by communication. Transporter, however,
will make reasonable continuing efforts to notify the affected
Shipper/Balancing Party. In addition to the other information
contemplated by this Section 14.5, such notice shall also include
information about the status of operational variables that
determine when an OFO will begin and end, and Transporter shall
post periodic updates of such information, promptly upon
occurrence of any material change in the information. Transporter
will post a notice on LINK® informing the Shipper/Balancing Party
when any OFO in effect will be cancelled and specifying the
factors that caused the OFO to be issued and then lifted, to the
extent such factors are known.
14.6 Action Alerts: In the event that Transporter determines that due
to (1) an ongoing or anticipated weather event, (2) a known
equipment problem, or (3) the anticipated continuation of a
current system operational problem, action is necessary to avoid a
situation in which the system integrity is jeopardized or
Transporter's ability to render firm service is threatened,
Transporter may issue an Action Alert as set out herein to
forestall the development of the situation.
