GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
(c) 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 2(e) and 2(f).
(d) Notice: As stated in GISB Standard 5.3.34 (Version 1.4), Transportation
Service Providers should provide affected parties with notification of
intraday bumps, operational flow orders and other critical notices through
the affected party's choice of Electronic Notice Delivery mechanism(s).
As stated in GISB Standard 5.2.2 (Version 1.4), "Electronic Notice
Delivery" is the term used to describe the delivery of notices via
Internet, E-mail and/or EDI/EDM. Pursuant to GISB Standards 5.3.34 and
5.2.2, Transporter shall issue notice of all OFOs to the affected
Shipper/Balancing Party via PASSKEY, e-mail or EDI/EDM, at the
Shipper/Balancing Party's election. In addition, Transporter shall notify
the Shipper/Balancing Party of issuance of an OFO via telephone.
Concurrent with notice to the Shipper/Balancing Party, all OFOs shall be
posted on PASSKEY. 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.
(e) 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.
