GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS (continued)
4.6 Penalties: If a customer fails to comply with a Critical Day One, it shall be
subject to a charge equal to $5.00 plus the applicable Regional Daily Spot Price
for each dekatherm of gas by which it deviates from the requirements of the
Critical Day. Regional Spot Price means the highest spot price published in Gas
Daily for the day(s) on which, and for the region(s) in which, the Critical Day is
in effect; provided that if the Critical Day is in effect on days on which no Gas
Daily is published, the applicable price(s) reflected in the most recently
published Gas Daily shall be used in assessing the charge. If a customer fails to
comply with a Critical Day Two, it shall be subject to a charge equal to $10.00
plus the applicable Regional Daily Spot Price for each dekatherm of gas by which it
deviates from the requirements of the Critical Day. A customer will not incur any
Critical Day charges if (a) such charges would not have been incurred but for its
compliance with a Critical Day notice, (b) it can demonstrate to Transporter's
satisfaction that its noncompliance with the Critical Day notice resulted in a
benefit to the system, or (c) the volumes subject to the Critical Day charges were
traded with an offsetting imbalance pursuant to the provisions of Rate Schedules
LMS-MA and LMS-PA and the customer can demonstrate to Transporter's satisfaction
that such trade resulted in a benefit to the system and that such trade did not
result in the customer transporting gas through the Critical Day area.
5. Balancing Alerts: In the event that, in Transporter's judgement, the Action Alerts under
Section 3 and Critical Days under Section 4 are not sufficient to address the situation
fully or under circumstances in which the operational integrity of the system is more
severely threatened, Transporter may issue Balancing Alerts.
5.1 Issuance of Alert: Balancing Alerts will be noticed in accord with the procedures
set forth in Section 2.3 and will be issued a minimum of eight hours prior to the
required action.
5.2 Required Actions: Balancing Alerts can be issued to effect any of the following:
(a) adjustments of transportation nominations such that their receipt and/or
delivery flow equals their scheduled quantities;
(b) restrictions on Balancing Agreements such that balancing parties will be
required to assure that their scheduled quantities equal their flows or that
receipts and deliveries fall within the tolerance level designated in the
Alert ("OFO daily tolerance");
(c) restrictions of deliveries to a specific point or points covered by a
balancing agreement to the aggregate Transportation Quantity under the firm
transportation agreements with primary delivery points at the effected
locations ("OFO daily tolerance");
(d) adjustments of hourly quantities such that the OFO Recipient must deliver and
receive gas in uniform hourly quantities.
