GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS - continued
29. OPERATIONAL FLOW ORDERS
a. Transporter shall have the right to issue operational flow
orders (OFO) as specified in this Section if action is
required in order to alleviate conditions which threaten the
integrity of Transporter's system, to maintain pipeline
operations at the pressures required to provide an efficient
and reliable transportation service, to have adequate gas
supplies in the system to deliver on demand (including
injection of gas into the mainline, providing line pack, and
injecting gas into storage in the right quantity at the right
place and time), to maintain service to all Shippers and for
all services, and/or to maintain the system in balance for the
foregoing purposes. Before issuing an OFO, Transporter will
attempt to identify specific customers causing a problem and
attempt to remedy those problems. Upon issuing an OFO,
Transporter shall notify all affected Shippers by telephone
and facsimile as well as by posting the information on the
EBB. Where operationally feasible, service to interruptible
Shippers will be suspended prior to issuing an OFO
interrupting service to firm Shippers.
If an OFO is issued, Transporter will direct one or more
Shippers to adjust receipts and/or deliveries at specific
point(s) on Transporter's system.
All quantities tendered to Transporter and/or taken by Shipper
on a daily basis in violation of Transporter's operational
flow orders shall constitute unauthorized receipts or
deliveries for which a charge of $15 per MMBtu shall be
assessed. Shippers will be exempt from penalties on
imbalances that result from complying with an OFO. A
reasonable make-up period treated as monthly imbalance carried
forward in Section 5.2(d)(4) FT Rate Schedule will be allowed
to correct OFO created imbalances. Upon an operational flow
order becoming effective, as specified in the operational flow
order or as provided in this Section 29 of the General Terms
and Conditions, Shipper, OFO party, or operator of the
facilities connecting with Transporter's facilities shall be
permitted the time stated in the OFO, or such lesser time as
is required to protect the integrity of Transporter's system,
to make adjustments in compliance with the operational flow
orders. If Shipper, or operator of such interconnect, adjusts
its tenders or takes within such notice period, then no
charge, as provided for herein, shall be assessed.
