18. OPERATIONAL FLOW ORDERS
18.1 General
Transporter may issue OFOs to preserve the integrity of
Transporter's Pipeline Facilities, to ensure adequate
operating pressures, to have adequate supplies in the
Pipeline Facilities, to assure adequate Transporter's Use
Gas, to maintain firm services, and to optimize the
operation of the system. Transporter may also issue OFOs
on a not unduly discriminatory basis to respond to other
unforeseen circumstances. To the extent possible,
Transporter will identify discrete Shipper(s) whose
action(s) require Transporter to issue an OFO(s) and
Transporter will limit the applicability of the OFO(s) to
such Shipper(s). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if
Transporter is unable to identify discrete Shipper(s) whose
action(s) require issuance of an OFO, any OFO will be
applicable to all Shippers on the affected pipeline
facilities.
18.2 Circumstances Under Which an OFO May be Issued
Transporter may issue an OFO in any circumstance which
would, in Transporter's reasonable judgment, impair
Transporter's ability to receive or deliver Quantities of
Gas in accordance with its service obligations including,
but not limited to, when:
(a) operating pressures on the affected portion of the
system are significantly less than or greater than
normal system operating pressures despite
Transporter's efforts to maintain normal pressures and
a further decline or increase in operating pressures
would impair Transporter's ability to receive or
deliver Scheduled Quantities of Gas;
(b) a Shipper fails to maintain receipts or deliveries as
required in this tariff;
(c) unscheduled pipeline maintenance and repairs affect
capacity;
