(a) Operator shall have the right to issue Operational Flow Orders
("OFO") that require actions by Customers in order to (i)

(ii) maintain operations at the pressure required to provide
efficient and reliable services; (iii) have adequate gas supplies
in the system to deliver on demand; (iv) maintain service to all

actions necessary to avoid issuing an OFO. Such actions shall

temporarily adjust receipts and/or deliveries at relevant Point(s)
of Receipt or Delivery, (ii) working with Customers and point
operators to adjust scheduled flows on the system, or (iii) taking
any other reasonable action designed to mitigate the system
problem. After taking all reasonable actions to avoid issuing an
OFO, Operator shall have the right to issue an OFO, if necessary,
in the circumstances described in Section 7.4(a) above.
(c) Preliminary Notice. Operator shall provide, by way of posting on
its Web Site and directly to affected parties, prior notice to all
Customers and point operators of upcoming system events, such as
anticipated weather patterns and operational problems that may

Customers may take to avoid issuance of an OFO.
