6. Action Alerts and Operational Flow Orders
6.1 Issuance and Notices
(a) Circumstances Warranting Issuance: As specified in this
Section 6, Saltville shall have the right to issue Action
Alerts or Operational Flow Orders ("OFO") that require
actions by Customers in order to (1) alleviate conditions
that threaten to impair reliable service, (2) maintain
operations at the pressures required to provide efficient
and reliable services, (3) have adequate Gas supplies in the
system to deliver on demand, (4) maintain service to all
firm shippers and for all firm services, and (5) maintain
the system in balance for the foregoing purposes. Saltville
shall lift any effective Action Alert or OFO, promptly upon
the cessation of operating conditions that caused the
relevant system problem.
(b) Actions to be Taken to Avoid Issuance: Saltville shall, to
the extent reasonably practicable, take all reasonable
actions necessary to avoid issuing an Action Alert or OFO.
Such actions shall include, in order of priority, (1)
working with point operators to temporarily adjust receipts
and/or deliveries at relevant Point(s) of Receipt or
Point(s) of Delivery, (2) working with Customers and point
operators to adjust scheduled flows on the system, or (3)
taking any other reasonable action designed to mitigate the
system problem. After taking all such reasonable actions to
avoid issuing an Action Alert or OFO, Saltville will have
the right to issue Action Alerts or OFOs, if necessary, in
the circumstances described in Section 6.1(a) above.
(c) Preliminary Notifications/Follow-up Reports: Saltville
shall provide, via posting on the Internet Web site and to
affected parties through the affected party's choice of
Electronic Notice Delivery mechanism(s), prior notice to all
Customers and point operators of upcoming system events such
as anticipated weather patterns and operational problems
that may necessitate the issuance of an Action Alert or OFO.
(d) Applicability of Action Alert or OFO: Saltville shall make
an Action Alert or OFO as localized as is reasonably
practicable based on Saltville's good faith and reasonable
judgment concerning the situations requiring remediation
such that an Action Alert or OFO will be directed first to
Customers and point operators causing the problem
necessitating the Action Alert or OFO and second, if
necessary, to all Customers and point operators. Saltville
will tailor the Action Alert or OFO to match the severity of
the known or anticipated operational problem requiring
remediation as more fully set forth in Sections 6.2 and 6.3
below. The declaration to the affected parties of
Operational Flow Orders, critical periods and/or Critical
Notices shall describe the conditions and the specific
responses required from the affected parties.
