GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
34. OPERATIONAL FLOW ORDER (OFO) PROCEDURES
34.1 Transporter, in its sole discretion, will have the right to issue
OFOs when in its judgment it is necessary to maintain or restore the
operational integrity of its system.
34.2 Whenever possible, Transporter will identify the party(ies) [including
but not limited to Shippers or OBA Operators] whose actions require
Transporter to issue an OFO and will limit the applicability of the OFO
to such party(ies). If Transporter is unable to identify the specific
parties whose actions require issuance of an OFO, or if issuance of an
OFO to discrete parties is insufficient to alleviate the conditions
requiring the issuance of such OFO, Transporter may issue an additional
OFO applicable to all parties on a nondiscriminatory basis.
34.3 All OFOs will be posted on Transporter's Internet website, to be
followed by notification of affected parties that will set forth the
causes or conditions necessitating the OFO. Notification will be
through an affected party's choice of Electronic Delivery mechanism(s)
set forth in Section 22.2 of these General Terms & Conditions.
Transporter will issue an OFO as expeditiously as is reasonable and
practicable under the circumstances. When practicable, Transporter will
provide sufficient notice to affected parties in order to accommodate
scheduling requirements on upstream pipelines. Each OFO will contain the
following provisions:
(a) time and date of issuance;
(b) the nature of the operational situation necessitating the OFO (high
inventory, low inventory, etc.);
(c) time that the OFO is considered to be effective (if no time is
specified, the OFO will be effective immediately);
(d) duration of the OFO (if not specified, the OFO will be effective
until further notice);
(e) the quantity of gas required to remedy the operational condition
requiring the issuance of the OFO; and
(f) any other term Transporter may reasonably require to ensure the
effectiveness of the OFO.
