GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
----------------------------
40.8 UNILATERAL ACTION
In the event that the actions under Sections 40.4 through
40.7 are inadequate or there is insufficient time to carry out such
procedures, Trailblazer may periodically have to take unilateral action
to maintain system pressure and preserve the overall operational
integrity of Trailblazer's system (or any portion thereof). Trailblazer
is authorized to use all the resources of its system to such ends, and
supply received into Trailblazer's system, even though gas may be owned
by a person other than the entity receiving delivery. Trailblazer shall
not, however, be responsible as a supplier of gas to any Shipper.
40.9 APPLICABILITY OF ACTIONS
(a) In exercising its authority pursuant to Sections 40.4
through 40.8, Trailblazer shall generally direct its actions to
Shippers in the following sequence, to the extent such actions and/or
sequencing will tend to alleviate the situation to be addressed:
(1) First, to any Shipper which is causing disruption
due to its failure to maintain receipts and deliveries in balance or to
match physical flows with nominated receipts or deliveries;
(2) Second, to any Shipper which has failed or is
failing to take action to anticipate a change in demand;
(3) Third, to any Shipper which is operating in a
manner which conflicts with sound operational practices in relation to
Trailblazer's system; and
(4) Lastly, to all other Shippers.
(b) Notwithstanding subsection (a), any Shipper which has
taken voluntary action to alleviate a situation shall be exempted from
further action hereunder to the extent of its voluntary action until
Trailblazer has applied equivalent measures to other Shippers.
(c) Operational Flow Orders shall require action within any
Shipper class proportionate to appropriate and relevant parameters,
such as applicable contract quantities or current or recent flowing gas
volumes.
