GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS

13. OPERATING CONDITIONS (Continued)
(c) Whenever possible, Transporter shall identify those Shipper(s)
whose action(s) require Transporter to issue an OFO and shall
limit the applicability of the OFO to such Shipper(s). If
Transporter is unable to identify those Shipper(s) whose action(s)
require issuance of an OFO, or if issuance of an OFO to discrete
Shipper(s) is insufficient to alleviate the conditions requiring the
issuance of such OFO, Transporter may issue an additional OFO
applicable to all Shippers on a nondiscriminatory basis.
(d) On the day prior to commencement of the gas day, no later than 5:00
p.m. Central Clock Time (3:00 p.m. Pacific Clock Time), during the
scheduling and confirmation procedure, the OFOs will be posted on
Transporter's webpage, to be followed by a facsimile, written notice,
or other mutually agreeable means of electronic communications to
affected Shippers that will set forth the causes or conditions
necessitating the OFO. Transporter shall issue an OFO as
expeditiously as is reasonable and practicable in the circumstances.
Each Shipper shall designate an operational contact for Transporter to
notify on a 24 hour a day, 365 days a year basis. If Transporter is
unable to notify any Shipper because that Shipper's contact is
unavailable, such Shipper shall be solely responsible for any
consequences arising from such failure of communication. When
practicable, Transporter shall provide sufficient notice to customers
to accommodate scheduling requirements on upstream pipelines. Each OFO
will contain the following provisions:
(i) time and date of issuance
(ii) time that OFO is considered to be effective (if no time is
specified, the OFO will be effective immediately);
(iii) duration of the OFO (if not specified, the OFO will be
effective until further notice);
(iv) the party or parties receiving the OFO;
(v) causes or conditions requiring the issuance of an OFO;
(vi) specific action necessary to remedy the condition identified
in (v) above; and
(vii) any other term Portland General may reasonably require to
ensure the effectiveness of the OFO.
Unless otherwise specified in the OFO, compliance must commence at the
Beginning of the applicable gas day.
(e) Failure to Comply with OFO. If Shipper (or Shipper's designee or
successor) fails to comply with the terms of an OFO for reasons other
than force majeure such Shipper, its designee or successor
shall be liable for a penalty equal to the greater of twenty-five dollars
