GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
(continued)
(d) If an Alert Mode Notice indicates that an
OFO may be imminent, Pipeline will advise
what action is requested and what future
actions may be mandated if voluntary steps
are not taken. Under such circumstances,
Shippers are asked to comply as quickly as
possible with the Alert Mode Notice to
reduce the need for further action by
Pipeline. Shippers should be prepared to
act on short notice. The Alert Mode
Notice may be directed to all Shippers or
to specific Shippers on a not unduly
discriminatory basis. By issuing an Alert
Mode Notice, Pipeline shall not be
precluded from issuing further OFO notices
if circumstances ultimately require. The
Alert Mode Notice is intended to provide
Shippers the opportunity for voluntary
compliance, rather than requiring
mandatory action under the OFO provisions
of the Pipeline's Tariff. If voluntary
compliance does not resolve the
circumstances causing the Alert Mode
Notice, Pipeline has the discretion to
implement a Critical Mode Notice on those
Shipper(s) or to curtail Shipper(s)
causing or contributing to the condition.
9.3 OFO Penalties. To the extent Pipeline issues
an OFO (other than an Alert Mode Notice) and
Shipper(s) does not comply with such order,
Pipeline will assess and Shipper will be
obligated to pay Pipeline a fee of $20.00 per
Dt. Such fee will be assessed on each Dt of gas
received into or delivered out of Pipeline's
system when such receipts and/or deliveries are
not in compliance with any OFO in effect. If
the OFO penalty is imposed, no curtailment
penalty, no unauthorized daily overdelivery
penalty under GT&Cs Section 7.7, no
unauthorized daily underdelivery penalty under
GT&Cs Section 7.8, and no scheduling penalty
under GT&Cs Section 7.9, will also be imposed
for the same infraction. Also, multiple OFO
penalties will not be assessed for the same
infraction. All OFO penalties collected by
Pipeline shall be accounted for as part of
Pipeline's penalty revenue sharing pursuant to
GT&Cs Section 25. The payment of a penalty
under this Section 9 shall under no
circumstances be considered as giving the
Shipper the right to violate OFOs nor shall
such payment be considered as a substitute for
any other remedy available to Pipeline or any
other Shipper against the offending Shipper for
failure to comply with an OFO.
