(1) first to Shippers causing the problem necessitating
the OFO or transporting gas in the area of the system
in which there is an operational problem, and
(2) second to those Shippers transporting gas in the
area of the system where action is required to correct
the problem necessitating the OFO. Transporter will
notify affected Shippers of termination of an OFO
promptly after concluding that the OFO can safely be
removed.
14.3 Notice: All OFOs will be issued via telephone to be
followed by a facsimile to the affected Shipper. The
OFO will set forth (1) the time and date of issuance,
(2) the actions Shipper/operator is required to take,
(3) the time by which Shipper must be in compliance
with the OFO, (4) the anticipated duration of the OFO,
and (5) any other terms that Transporter may
reasonably require to ensure the effectiveness of the
OFO. Each Shipper 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
Shipper because that Shipper has failed to designate a
contact person or Shipper's contact person is
unavailable, Transporter shall not be responsible for
any consequences that could have been prevented by
communication. Transporter, however, will make
reasonable continuing efforts to notify the affected
Shipper. Notwithstanding the foregoing, notification
by the Delivering Pipeline of an OFO affecting Shippers
that use Transporter's system shall not be responsible
for any consequences that could have been prevented by
communication. Transporter, however, will make
reasonable continuing efforts to notify the affected
Shipper. Notwithstanding the foregoing, notifications
by the Delivering Pipeline of an OFO affecting Shippers
that use Transporter's system shall automatically be
deemed to be an OFO on Transporter's system without
further notice by Transporter. To the extent
practicable, Transporter shall provide an advance
warning of a possible OFO.
14.4 Shipper Compliance: A Shipper must comply with an OFO
within the time period set forth therein unless the
shipper is able to demonstrate that such compliance is
prevented due to a force majeure event as defined in
Article 16 of Transporter's General Terms and
Conditions, provided however, that the Shipper shall
make a good faith effort to comply with any such OFO,
including seeking waivers of any contractual limits
with third parties or modifications of operating
conditions on third party systems. Shipper shall
notify Transporter immediately if it believes that it
is excused from compliance with the OFO for any of the
above stated reasons, and shall provide Transporter
with documentation sufficient to support its basis for
non-compliance.
14.5 Penalties: If a Shipper fails to comply with an OFO,
it shall be subject to (1) a penalty of $10.00 per dth
for any volume of gas by which it deviated from the
requirements of the OFO and (2) an Unauthorized Overrun
Charge of $25.00 per Dth for quantities taken by
Shipper in excess of its MDQ. A Shipper shall not
incur any
