6. OPERATIONAL FLOW ORDERS (OFOs)
6.1 Trunkline will have the right to issue an OFO to any Shipper, OBA
Party or TABS-1 Party when, in Trunkline's sole judgment, it is
required to alleviate conditions which threaten system integrity,
safety or service or to ensure compliance with the provisions
contained in this Tariff. During conditions which threaten system
integrity, safety or service, an OFO will not be issued to protect
interruptible service.
Examples of conditions which may cause OFOs to be issued
include, but are not limited to:
(A) Actual receipts exceeding scheduled receipts causing high
pressure to back off scheduled receipts;
(B) Unscheduled pipeline maintenance and repairs affecting
capacity;
(C) Non-compliance with the balancing requirements of any
service where such non-compliance threatens Trunkline's
system integrity; and
(D) When the applicable Tolerance Level has not been exceeded by
an individual Shipper, OBA Party or TABS-1 Party, but on a
system-wide basis pipeline operations require tighter
Tolerance Levels.
6.2 An OFO may be issued on a contract basis or on all or a portion of
the system. Ordinarily, an OFO issued by 10:00 a.m. on a Gas Day
will be effective at 8:00 a.m. the following Gas Day. When
extreme conditions exist, three hours notice, or lesser notice if
necessary, may be given. An OFO may be issued for a specific
period of time or until further notice is given.
6.3 (A) Any Shipper, OBA Party or TABS-1 Party subject to an OFO
will be deemed to be in compliance with the OFO if its
actual Quantities do not vary from the Quantities specified
in the OFO by more than the tolerance level stated in the
OFO, which shall not be less than two percent (2%). If the
actual Quantities vary from the Quantities specified in the
OFO by more than the tolerance level, the excess variance
shall be subject to a $25 per Dt penalty; provided, however,
in no event will this penalty apply until Shipper, OBA
Party, or
