GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS (continued)
2.1 Preliminary Notifications/Follow-up Reports: Transporter shall provide,
via posting on PASSKEY, prior notice to all OFO Recipients of upcoming
system events such as anticipated weather patterns and operational
problems which may necessitate the issuance of an OFO. On a quarterly
basis, Transporter will provide every OFO Recipient that was affected by
an OFO during the previous quarter, and will file with the FERC, a
written report which details the underlying causes which warranted the
issuance of the OFOs during the quarter and explains why the actions
required by the OFO were necessary to alleviate the identified problems.
2.2 Applicability of OFO: Transporter shall make an OFO as localized as is
reasonably practicable based on Transporter's good faith and reasonable
judgement concerning the situations requiring remediation such that an
OFO will be directed (a) first to OFO Recipients causing the problem
necessitating the OFO or transporting gas in the area of the system in
which there is an operational problem, and (b) second to those OFO
Recipients transporting gas in the area of the system where action is
required to correct the problem necessitating the OFO. Prior to the
issuance of an OFO, Transporter will attempt, if sufficient time exists,
to alleviate the situation necessitating the OFO through the application
of the scheduling and curtailment provisions in Article III of these
General Terms and Conditions. Transporter will tailor the OFO to match
the severity of the known or anticipated operational problem requiring
remediation as more fully set forth in Sections 3, 4 and 5.
2.3 Notice: As stated in NAESB Standard 5.3.34 (Version 1.8),
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 NAESB Standard 5.2.2
(Version 1.8), "Electronic Notice Delivery" is the term used to
describe the delivery of notices via Internet, E-mail and/or EDI/EDM.
Pursuant to NAESB Standards 5.3.34 and 5.2.2, Transporter shall issue
notice of all OFOs to the affected OFO Recipient via PASSKEY, e-mail or
EDI/EDM, at the OFO Recipient's election. In addition, Transporter
shall notify the OFO Recipient of issuance of an OFO via telephone.
Concurrent with notice to the OFO Recipient, all OFOs shall be posted
on PASSKEY. The OFO will set forth (a) the time and date of issuance,
(b) the actions the OFO Recipient, is required to take, (c) the time by
which the OFO Recipient must be in compliance with the OFO, (d) the
anticipated duration of the OFO, and (e) any other terms which
Transporter may reasonably require to ensure the effectiveness of the
OFO. Each OFO Recipient 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 OFO
Recipient due to its failure to designate a contact person or because
such contact person is unavailable, such OFO Recipient shall be solely
responsible for any consequences which could have been prevented by
communication.
