GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Section 18
(Cont'd)
(h) Texas Gas may issue an OFO in the event a NNS, NNL, SGT, or SGL customer's
summer season daily storage withdrawal rate exceeds 10 percent of his
winter contract demand for three consecutive gas days. Texas Gas may also
issue an OFO to an NNS, NNL, SGT, or SGL customer who makes summer season
withdrawals within the same 10% limit for five consecutive days. The
customer will have 24 hours to either restrict deliveries or increase
pipeline receipts, or enter the penalty situation.
(i) Texas Gas shall notify the Customer, and may issue an OFO, in the event a
NNS, NNL, SGT, or SGL customer utilizes its allocated shoulder month
flexibility for thirteen (13) days during the month. The customer will
then have two additional days of flexibility during the month. Beyond
these two days, the customer will either have to increase pipeline
receipts or decrease deliveries, or enter the penalty situation if an OFO
has been issued.
(j) In the event receipts in segments of a Supply Lateral exceed scheduled
receipts and the capacity of the segment, so that high system pressures
back off scheduled receipt quantities, Texas Gas may issue an OFO to all
Point(s) of Receipt and operators in the affected segment of the Supply
Lateral stating that a high pressure condition exists. All such operators
will be required to check their tenders into receipt points on the
affected portion of the system. Those operators who are tendering more
than their scheduled volumes will have 4 hours to make needed adjustments,
or enter the penalty situation. An OFO issued pursuant to this Section
18(k) will be canceled by Texas Gas when the high pressure condition
described above has been corrected.
(k) In the event there is a need for Texas Gas to engage in routine and normal
maintenance of the system, to undertake repairs and replacements of lines
of pipe, to schedule DOT compliance activities, to install taps, to make
pig runs, to test storage fields, to test equipment, to check or change
compressor internals, or to engage in other similar actions affecting the
capacity of any portions of the system of Texas Gas, Texas Gas may issue
OFO's pursuant to this Section of the General Terms and Conditions to
inform all customers under all of Texas Gas' applicable rate schedules of
such planned maintenance or other activities that will affect the capacity
of any portions of the system, explaining in detail the action which
affects the portion of the system and the portion of the system affected.
An order issued pursuant to this Section 18(k) will contain an estimate of
the time, duration, and impact of the activity. This provision is in
addition to, but not coextensive with, the force majeure provision
contained in Section 25.5 of the General Terms and Conditions of Texas
Gas' FERC Gas Tariff. An event of force majeure may affect deliveries,
but not trigger the need for an operational flow order pursuant to this
Section 18(k). An order issued pursuant to this Section 18(k) shall be
canceled when such planned maintenance or other activities have been
completed. Texas Gas will post on its Internet Website each month a
schedule of anticipated routine maintenance which may affect service for
the upcoming month.
