OPERATIONAL FLOW ORDERS
VERSION 3.0.0
GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS7.11. OPERATIONAL FLOW ORDERS 7.11.1. Circumstances Warranting Issuance – Transporter shall have the right to issue Operational Flow Orders ("OFO") as specified in this section that require actions by Shippers in order (1) to alleviate conditions that threaten or could threaten the safe operations or integrity of Transporter's system, (2) to maintain pipeline operations at the pressures required to provide efficient and reliable firm transportation services, and (3) to maintain the system in balance for the foregoing purposes. 7.11.2. 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. 7.11.3. 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 Transporter'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 successive days until Transporter notifies Shippers on its Website that the OFO has been lifted. 7.11.4. 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 7.27 of the GT&C, provided however, that the Shipper shall make a good faith effort to comply with any such OFO.
