GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
(Continued)
(4) In the event that, in Pipeline's judgment, immediate action is required to
alleviate conditions which threaten to impair reliable firm service, to
maintain pipeline operations at the pressures required to provide an
efficient and reliable firm service, to have adequate Gas supplies in the
system to deliver on demand (including injection of Gas into the mainline,
providing line pack, and injecting Gas into storage at the right place and
time), and to maintain the system in balance for the foregoing purposes,
Pipeline may forego the action described in Section 4.3(A)(2) and
immediately issue an OFO. In the event that (1) Customer or point operator
does not respond to an Action Alert, (2) the actions taken thereunder are
insufficient to correct the system problem for which the Action Alert was
issued, or (3) there is insufficient time to carry out the procedures with
respect to Action Alerts, Pipeline may issue OFOs pursuant to Section
4.3(B) through 4.3(M) or take unilateral action, including the curtailment
of firm service, to maintain the operational integrity of Pipeline's system
(or any portion thereof). For purposes of this Section, the operational
integrity of Pipeline's system shall encompass the integrity of the
physical system and the preservation of physical assets and their
performance, the overall operating performance of the entire physical
system as an entity (or any portion thereof), and the maintenance (on a
reliable and operationally sound basis) of total system deliverability and
the quality of Gas delivered. Pipeline shall post a notice on its Web site
specifying the factors that caused the Action Alert or OFO to be issued, to
the extent such factors are known. Pipeline shall also provide such
notification via e-mail communication to those Customers who have submitted
a request, and provided e-mail address information for at least one contact
person, via Pipeline's Web site to receive e-mail notification of critical
notices issued by Pipeline, or in the event of known failure of Internet
notification, Pipeline will notify affected Customers by telefacsimile.
(5) Pipeline shall lift any effective Action Alert or OFO promptly upon the
cessation of operating conditions that caused the relevant system problem.
After Pipeline has lifted the Action Alert or the OFO, Pipeline shall post
a notice on its Web site specifying the factors that caused the Action
Alert or OFO to be issued and then lifted, to the extent such factors are
known. Pipeline shall also provide such notification via e-mail
communication to those Customers who have submitted a request, and provided
e-mail address information for at least one contact person, via Pipeline's
Web site to receive e-mail notification of critical notices issued by
Pipeline, or in the event of known failure of Internet notification,
Pipeline will notify affected Customers by telefacsimile.
