GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR SERVICES - continued
29.2 FACILITY CONTROL
Transporter shall maintain actual physical and operational control
of all storage, transmission and other facilities on its system.
29.3 OPERATIONAL CONTROL SEQUENCE
In the event Transporter's observations or projections indicate
that a situation is or may be developing in which adequate
pressures may not be maintained or the overall operational
integrity of its system (or any portion thereof) could be
threatened, or in the event that such a situation actually occurs,
Transporter is authorized by this Section to take action to
alleviate this situation. In responding to the projected
development of such a situation, Transporter shall first apply the
Advisory Action procedures of Section 29.4. If such measures are
not sufficient, and the situation continues to deteriorate,
Transporter shall next employ Directional Notices as provided in
Section 29.5. In the event Directional Notices alone are not
adequate, and the situation becomes worse, Transporter may invoke
the Critical Time Operational Flow Order procedures set out in
Section 29.6. Finally, Transporter may take unilateral action as
provided in Section 29.7. The procedures set out in such
provisions, and their sequencing, are intended to be applied only
to the extent any of the specific actions indicated, or such
sequencing, would be anticipated to alleviate the situation to be
addressed. In issuing Advisory Actions, Directional Notices or
Critical Time Operational Flow Orders, Transporter shall describe
the specific system conditions, including providing available
information that led Transporter to conclude that the particular
action requested of Shipper(s) is appropriate, and the specific
responses required from the affected parties.
To the extent that specific actions can be reasonably
identifiable, Transporter shall direct its actions hereunder to
Shippers creating or anticipated to create the situation to be
addressed and shall act consistent with Section 29.8. Nothing
herein shall preclude Transporter from bypassing any of the above
procedures if, in its judgment, the situation so requires.
Transporter will keep Shippers advised on the status of the
situation through the informational postings portion of
Transporter's Interactive Website.
