GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS (continued)
6. Hydrocarbon Dewpoint Operational Flow Orders (HDP OFO):
6.1 Transporter shall impose a Hydrocarbon Dewpoint limitation below the
Hydrocarbon Dewpoint Safe Harbor (by issuing an HDP OFO) at a receipt point
or Monitoring Point if Transporter determines that such HDP OFO is necessary
to avoid an event that threatens the operational integrity of Transporter's
System.
6.2 Issuance of an HDP OFO: An HDP OFO will be noticed in accord with the
procedures set forth in this Article VIII, Section 2.3 and will be issued a
minimum of eight hours prior to the required action.
6.3 Notwithstanding the above, an HDP OFO that reduces Transporter's Hydrocarbon
Dewpoint Safe Harbor shall be applied in a manner consistent with the
procedures set forth in Article II, Section 3.1(a).
6.4 With respect to an HDP OFO that sets a Hydrocarbon Dewpoint limit below
Transporter's Hydrocarbon Dewpoint Safe Harbor, Transporter shall post on
PASSKEY within three Business Days a notice identifying the operational
event giving rise to the HDP OFO with specificity, identifying the point(s)
where the operational event threatened Transporter's operational integrity,
identifying specific points upstream of the operational event and HDP
Segments of Transporter's System affected by the HDP OFO. Transporter shall
update this information as updates become available.
6.5 Failure to comply with an HDP OFO: An OFO Recipient must comply with an HDP
OFO within the time period set forth in the HDP OFO Notice. An OFO Recipient
shall notify Transporter immediately if it believes that it is excused from
compliance with the HDP OFO, and shall provide Transporter with
documentation sufficient to support its basis for non-compliance. Failure of
an OFO Recipient to comply with an HDP OFO or provide Transporter with
support for non-compliance may subject an OFO Recipient to a charge equal to
$15.00 plus the applicable Regional Daily Spot Price for each dekatherm of
gas it delivers to Transporter that deviates from the requirements of an HDP
OFO.
6.6 Unilateral Action: In the event (a) of non-response to an HDP OFO, or (b)
the actions taken thereunder are insufficient to correct the HDP Problem for
which it was issued, or (c) there is insufficient time to carry out the
procedures with respect to an HDP OFO, Transporter may take unilateral
action, including curtailment of pipeline services in accordance with these
General Terms and Conditions, to maintain the operational integrity of
Transporter's system (or any portion thereof). For purposes of this
section, the operational integrity of Transporter's system shall encompass
the preservation of physical assets and their performance and the ability to
provide services at contracted levels.
