GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Section 10
(Continued)
Gulf South will provide as much advance notice as possible prior
to issuing an OFO, but in no event will an OFO be issued without
at least eight (8) hours notice prior to the action required by
the OFO unless a shorter time is required to protect the
operational integrity of the pipeline. No Shipper will be subject
to a penalty under this provision during the time period beginning
when Gulf South first issues a notice declaring an OFO and for a
period ending eight hours after the issuance of such notice. When
Gulf South declares an OFO, it shall post a timely notice on its
Internet Web Site followed by a telephone call to affected
Customer's dispatch number unless Customer has designated another
preferred format for notification. The Customer's telephone
numbers shall be provided pursuant to Section 11.3 of these
General Terms and Conditions. Notice of all OFOs together with
the explanation for its issuance will be sent to the Commission
and all affected shippers within 48 hours of issuance. The
Commission shall be notified by over-night mail or facsimile and
affected shippers shall be notified by a posting on Gulf South's
Internet Web Site or via e-mail.
(a) Except in cases where the operational integrity of Gulf
South's facilities would be in jeopardy if Gulf South did
not take immediate action under Section 10.4, an OFO will
not be issued unless Gulf South has first issued a Critical
Period Notice. Once Gulf South issues an OFO, the OFO
shall replace the Critical Period Notice for the specific
area or Shippers covered by the OFO. Nothing herein shall
limit Gulf South's ability to issue a Critical Period
Notice for one portion of its system while issuing an OFO
for another portion of the system.
(b) The circumstances under which Gulf South may issue an OFO
include but are not limited to:
(i) Any operating condition identified in Section 10.3
when such condition threatens safe operations or
system integrity such that issuance of a Critical
Period notice is inadequate to correct the condition.
An OFO issued pursuant to this section shall be
terminated once the event giving rise to the OFO no
longer threatens the operational integrity of Gulf
South's system.
