GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
(Continued)
Pipeline, or in the event of known failure of Internet notification,
Pipeline will notify affected Customers by telefacsimile. Pipeline shall,
to the extent reasonably practicable, take all reasonable actions necessary
to avoid issuing an OFO. Such actions shall include, in order of priority,
(1) working with point operators to temporarily adjust, by mutual
agreement, receipts and/or deliveries at relevant Point(s) of Receipt or
Point(s) of Delivery, (2) working with Customers and point operators to
adjust, by mutual agreement, scheduled flows on Pipeline's system, or (3)
issuing an Action Alert designed to mitigate the conditions, which if
continued, would require the issuance of an OFO. Prior to issuing an OFO
pursuant to this Section 4.3 of the General Terms and Conditions, all
tariff remedies will be sought against those at fault for disruptions, and
the provisions of Sections 4.1 "Scheduling of Storage and Transportation
Services" and 4.2 "Capacity Curtailment and Interruption Procedures for
Storage and Transportation Services" of the General Terms and Conditions
will be applied to all services in the affected area for the purpose of
insuring that firm service rights and firm entitlements are not adversely
affected by any lower priority service.
(a) Action Alerts will be noticed in accord with the procedures set
forth in this Section 4.3(A)(2) and Pipeline will endeavor to
provide a minimum of four hours notice.
(b) Action Alerts can be issued to effect any of the following:
(i) restriction of interruptible services;
(ii) restrictions of deliveries to specific Point(s) of Receipt
or Point(s) of Delivery covered by an Operational Balancing
Agreement to the aggregate MDQ under the firm Service
Agreements whose Primary Point(s) of Delivery, which are
specified in the Service Agreement, are at the affected
locations; and/or
(iii) forced balancing such that point operators will be required
to assure that nominations equal flows or that receipts and
deliveries fall within the tolerance level designated in the
Action Alert.
(3) Pipeline shall make an Action Alert or OFO as localized as is reasonably
practicable based on Pipeline'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 or transporting Gas in the
area of Pipeline's system in which there is an operational problem, and
second to those Customers and point operators transporting Gas in the area
of Pipeline's system where action is required to correct the problem
necessitating the Action Alert or OFO. Pipeline 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 4.3(A)(4)
and 4.3(A)(5) below.
