GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
(b) Requested Actions: Upon issuance of an Action Alert, Transporter
may request that a Shipper take any of the following actions, or similar
actions, to the extent they will alleviate the situation:
(i) increase, up to Shipper's MDRQ, or decrease deliveries of
gas into the system at specified Receipt Points; or
(ii) bring the nominations across all Delivery Points or, if
necessary, at specified Delivery Points within designated
balancing tolerances.
15.7 Balancing Alerts:
If in Transporter's judgment the Action Alerts under Section 15.6 are not
sufficient to address the situation fully, or under circumstances in which
the operational integrity of the system is more severely threatened,
Transporter may issue Balancing Alerts.
(a) Issuance of Alerts: Balancing Alerts will be noticed in accord
with the procedures stated in Section 15.5 and will be issued a minimum of
eight hours prior to the required action by the Shipper.
(b) Required Actions: Balancing Alerts may be issued through any of
the following, or similar actions:
(i) curtailment of interruptible services;
(ii) adjustments of transportation volumes such that their
receipt and/or delivery flow equals their scheduled quantities.
15.8 Shipper Compliance: A Shipper must comply with an Action Alert
and a Balancing Alert (each of which is an OFO) within the period stated,
including seeking waivers of any contractual limits with third parties or
modifications of operating conditions on third party systems.
15.9 Penalties: If a Shipper fails to comply with an Action Alert, it
shall be subject to a penalty of $10.00 per Dth for any volume of gas by
which it deviated from the requirements of the Action Alert. If a Shipper
fails to comply with a Balancing Alert, it will be subject to a penalty of
$25.00 for each Dth of gas by which it deviated from the requirements of the
Balancing Alert. A Shipper shall not incur any penalties, including an
Imbalance Penalty, if the penalties would not have been incurred but for
Shipper's compliance with an Action Alert or Balancing Alert, including any
preliminary action taken by Shipper in response to a warning issued by
Transporter in advance of an Action Alert. A Shipper shall not incur any
penalties if the Action or Balancing Alert was necessitated exclusively by
Transporter's negligence or willful misconduct.
