30. OPERATIONAL FLOW ORDER (OFO) PROCEDURES (Continued)
30.4 Except in cases where the curtailment of interruptible services
would not alleviate the causes and conditions necessitating the
issuance of an OFO, GTN will, where practicable, curtail
interruptible services prior to issuing an OFO. GTN shall not be
required to curtail interruptible services to individual Shippers
when curtailment of service to those Shippers would not affect the
OFO.
30.5 Upon the issuance of an OFO by GTN, it shall be incumbent upon
Shipper/OBA Operator to adjust Gas supplies as directed within the
time frame specified in the OFO. Failure to comply in a timely
fashion with an OFO may result in an immediate interruption of all
or a portion of Shipper's service or service at a point covered by
an OBA and cause Shipper/OBA Operator to incur a penalty based on
the higher of $25/Dth or a price per Dth equal to three times the
midpoint price reported for Malin, Oregon as published in the daily
price survey by Platts Gas Daily for all quantities in excess of
that allowed under the OFO for the day on which the penalty is
incurred. The payment of unauthorized overrun penalties does not
create the right to exceed the levels established by an OFO.
30.6 In the event Shipper/OBA Operator does not respond to the OFO and
GTN believes it is necessary to take actions such as buying or
selling gas to maintain system integrity or to prevent interrupting
service to another Shipper, GTN shall have the right, but not the
obligation, to take such remedial actions as it deems necessary.
If GTN takes these actions, it shall be made whole by the non-
responding Shipper/OBA Operator for all costs that GTN incurs
either through retention of penalty revenues or by direct
reimbursement by Shipper/OBA Operator. GTN shall not be liable for
any costs incurred by any Shipper/OBA Operator in complying with an
OFO.
