GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS (Continued)
16. OPERATIONAL FLOW ORDERS
16.1 Generally
An operational flow order is an order issued to alleviate
conditions, inter alia, which threaten or could threaten
the safe operations or system integrity, of the Pipeline's system
or to maintain operations required to provide efficient and
reliable firm service. Whenever the Pipeline experiences these
conditions, any pertinent order shall be referred to as an
Operational Flow Order ("OFO"). In the event that Pipeline
determines, in its sole discretion, that in order to permit the
continued operation of all or part of its system a quantity of gas
must be received or delivered at any point or location on its
system, and that such operating requirement cannot be accomplished
using the facilities and gas supply under Pipeline's control in the
time period necessary, Pipeline may issue OFOs which shall require
specified action on the part of Customers, and which shall be
applied on a nondiscriminatory basis to all quantities flowing
at the designated points on Pipeline's system at which action is
required.
16.2 Operational Flow Order Condition in Customer Service Agreements
All firm and interruptible transportation and/or gathering Service
Agreements will contain a provision guaranteeing Pipeline's right
to issue an OFO directly to any supplier, operator, transporter or
owner of Customer's gas. Customer may take direct responsibility
for ensuring compliance with an OFO, or at its option, may use an
agent, which may be Pipeline, for ensuring compliance. Such
election must be made prior to executing the Service Agreement, and
may be changed upon reasonable notice to the Pipeline.
16.3 Notice
Each Customer shall designate one or more persons for Pipeline
to contact on a 24-hour per day, 365 days a year basis. If
Pipeline invokes its rights under this section, it will
provide actual notice of OFOs to the affected Customers by
telephone or facsimile transmission, containing the following
information:
(i) The point(s) or location(s) on Pipeline's system at which
Pipeline requires action in order to maintain system
operations;
(ii) The conditions which necessitate the issuance of the OFO
and specific responses required from the affected parties.
