GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
8. OPERATIONAL FLOW ORDERS (OFO) (Continued)
8.7 Shipper/Balancing Party Compliance
A Shipper/Balancing Party must comply with an OFO within the time period set
forth therein unless the Shipper/Balancing Party is able to demonstrate that
such compliance (i) is not within the Shipper's/Balancing Party's physical
control or capability; (ii) is prevented by operating conditions on a third
party system that are beyond the Shipper's/Balancing Party's control; (iii) is
precluded by contractual restrictions or the lack of any contract at all with
persons other than Company; and/or (iv) is prevented due to a force majeure
event as defined in Section 10 of Company's General Terms and Conditions. The
Shipper/Balancing Party shall make a good faith effort to comply with any such
OFO, including seeking waivers of any contractual limits with third parties or
modifications of operating conditions on third party systems.
Shipper/Balancing Party shall notify Company immediately if it believes that it
is excused from compliance with the OFO for any of the above stated reasons and
shall provide Company with documentation sufficient to support its basis for
non-compliance.
8.8 Treatment of Shipper Imbalances
At the time an OFO is issued, affected Shippers will be notified of any
imbalances that require immediate resolution pursuant to one of Company's
imbalance resolution methods as detailed in Subsection 3.9 of the General Terms
and Conditions of Company's FERC Gas Tariff.
Quantities parked and loaned under Rate Schedule PAL may be utilized by Shipper
to net or trade against Shipper Imbalances to facilitate the immediate
elimination of such imbalances.
8.9 Failure to Respond to OFO
8.9.1 Unilateral Action
In the event that Shipper/Balancing Party does not respond to an OFO,
or the actions taken thereunder are insufficient to correct the System
problem for which the OFO was issued, or there is insufficient time to
carry out the procedures with respect to OFO's, Company may
periodically take unilateral action, including the curtailment of firm
service, to maintain the operational integrity of Company's system (or
any portion thereof).
