GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
(continued)
3. Operational Flow Orders
(a) Transporter may issue an Operational Flow Order when,
subject to maximum hourly quantities permitted by service
agreements and/or Section 6, (i) an individual Shipper's
actual receipts or deliveries on an hourly basis deviate
from scheduled receipts or deliveries in a manner that
threatens scheduled services, or (ii) the pipeline is
experiencing a high or low line pack operating condition
which can be ameliorated with a Shipper action that will not
otherwise impact such Shipper's ability to receive scheduled
service for the gas day or (iii) a Transporting Pipeline
issues an OFO to Transporter (in which event, Transporter
may issue an OFO to those Shippers being served on such
Transporting Pipeline which are impacted by such
Transporting Pipeline's OFO). In addition, Shippers are
subject to OFOs issued directly to Shippers, or to
Transporter on behalf of Shippers, by a third party
operator.
This tool will be used by Transporter when Pack/Draft
Notices and other tools are reasonably perceived to be
inappropriate to resolve the operating situation. In the
event that the provisions of an OFO conflict with the
provisions of other operational orders issued by
Transporter, the provisions of the OFO, including penalties
for noncompliance, shall supersede the provisions of the
other orders. Operational Flow Orders shall identify the
situation to be addressed and shall indicate the specific
action(s) to be taken by the recipient of the Operational
Flow Order stated in terms of an hourly or daily gas flow
level and specify a discrete length of time the Operational
Flow Order will be in effect. Unless otherwise specified in
the Operational Flow Order, compliance with an hourly OFO
must be achieved within four (4) hours. Daily OFOs will be
issued no later than eight (8) hours prior to the end of a
gas day and compliance must be achieved by the end of the
gas day; provided however, when the hourly OFO is issued to
prevent another Shipper's delivery pressure from falling
below such Shipper's contractual delivery pressure,
compliance with an hourly OFO must be achieved within one
(1) hour. To the extent Transporter has denied a Shipper a
within gas day decrease, Transporter shall not issue a daily
underage OFO for either the subject gas day or the
succeeding gas day. Such Operational Flow Order may require
a Shipper, its designee(s) or other entity(ies) selected by
Shipper to undertake any of the following:
