Point(s) of Delivery and the minimum pressure shall be 100 pounds per square
inch gauge.
2. Operational Flow Orders
(a) Circumstances Warranting Issuance: Transporter shall have the right
to issue Operational Flow Orders (OFOs) as specified in this Section

an OFO. On a quarterly basis, Transporter will provide every Shipper
and Balancing Party that was affected by an OFO during the previous
quarter a written report that details the underlying causes that
warranted the issuance of the OFO during the quarter and explains why
the actions required by the OFO were necessary to alleviate the
identified problems.
