GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
(Continued)
11.2. Applicability of OFO – To the extent practicable, based on Transporter’s good
faith judgment concerning the situations requiring remediation, an OFO will be
directed (1) first to Shippers causing the problem necessary in which there is an
operational problem, and (2) second to those Shippers transporting Gas in the
area of the system where action is required to correct the problem necessitating
the OFO. Transporter will notify affected Shippers of termination of an OFO
promptly after concluding that the OFO can safely be removed.
11.3. Notice of an OFO will be issued via telephone and followed by a facsimile. OFOs
will also be posted on Transporter’s Website. Transporter shall also post, as
soon as available, information about operational parameters, which affect when an
OFO will begin and end (e.g., significant changes in pressure on any pipeline
segment, status of facility repairs, etc.). Transporter shall provide as much
advance warning as practicable of: (i) conditions which may create the need to
issue an OFO; and (ii) the issuance, termination or modification of an OFO.
Transporter will endeavor to post the notice that it will issue an OFO on its
Website before 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time or otherwise will endeavor to notify
Shippers via its Website by 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time that they should check Trans-
porter’s Website again at a specified later time to see whether an OFO will be in
effect for the next day. Additionally, if Shipper has provided to Transporter
the e-mail address as specified in NAESB Standard 5.3.35, such posting will be
provided via e-mail in the format as defined in NAESB Standard 5.3.38 at least
four (4) hours prior to the start of the day before an OFO will be effective as
to a Shipper; provided, however, that Transporter may issue an OFO on as little
as one (1) hour notice where operationally necessary. Such notice shall specify
the anticipated duration of the OFO. An OFO will be effective at the start of a
day and will continue until the end of the day and through the end of the succes-
sive days until Transporter notifies Shippers on its Website that the OFO has
been lifted.
11.4. Shipper Compliance – A Shipper must comply with an OFO within the time period set
forth therein unless the shipper is able to demonstrate that such compliance is
prevented due to a Force Majeure event as defined in Section 27 of the GT&C, pro-
vided however, that the Shipper shall make a good faith effort to comply with any
such OFO.
11.5. Waiving of Penalty/Charges – A shipper shall not incur any charges or penalties
if such charges or penalties resulted from Shipper’s compliance with an OFO, in-
cluding any preliminary action taken by Shipper in response to an OFO watch
issued by Transporter as a precondition to an OFO.
