At least 4 hours prior to the start of the delivery gas day, or upon at least 12 hours
notice within a delivery gas day, Transporter shall post a notice on its electronic
bulletin board and notify by E-Mail to all affected Shippers or the Shippers' contact
person that the Alert Day provisions of this section are in effect, indicating whether
previously scheduled Market Area service under Rate Schedule ITS-1 has been
interrupted, indicating the applicable Alert Day Tolerance Percentage and indicating

posted in daily intervals that coincide with the delivery gas day.
Transportation Service Providers should provide affected parties with notification of
intraday bumps, operational flow orders and other critical notices through the
affected party's choice of Electronic Notice Delivery mechanism(s).
Unless the affected party and the Transportation Service Provider (TSP) have agreed to
exclusive notification via EDI/EDM, the affected party should provide the TSP with at
least one Internet E-mail address to be used for Electronic Notice Delivery of
intraday bumps, operational flow orders and other critical notices. The obligation of
the TSP to provide notification is waived until the above requirement has been met.
Transportation Service Providers should support the concurrent sending of electronic
notification of intraday bumps, operationally flow orders and other critical notices
to two Internet E-mail addresses for each affected party.
2. Conditions for Invoking Alert Day
Alert Day notices may be issued by Transporter when in its sole discretion, reasonably
exercised, Transporter determines that the pipeline is experiencing or may experience
in the next gas day high or low line pack operating conditions which threaten the
ability to render firm services. Alert Days will be used when Pack/Draft Notices and
other tools are reasonably perceived to be inappropriate to resolve the operating
situation. Alert Day notices may be issued in addition to other actions taken by
Transporter with regard to individual shippers, including issuance of Operational Flow
Orders and Pack/Draft Notices; however, such other actions are not required prior to
the issuance of an Alert Day notice. Transporter shall indicate in the Alert Day
Notice whether the notice applies system-wide or to an Affected Area. In addition,
Transporter shall post an Alert Day notice for any periods in which systemwide
curtailment orders are in effect pursuant to Section 17A. The Alert Day notice shall
indicate whether the alert condition applies to overages (Overage Alert Day) or
underages (Underage Alert Day) from Scheduled Deliveries.
Transporter may issue an Overage Alert Day notice herein for any days in which
Transporter has scheduled Market Area deliveries under Rate Schedule ITS-1 however,
Transporter shall interrupt previously scheduled Market Area service under Rate
Schedule ITS-1 prior to or simultaneously with invoking the Alert Day provisions under
this section when, in its sole discretion, reasonably exercised, Transporter
determines that restricting such service will assist in ameliorating the operating
condition.
