GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SERVICE
(Continued)
18. OPERATIONAL FLOW ORDERS ("OFO")
18.1 NBP, in its discretion, will have the right to issue OFOs when in
its judgment it is necessary to maintain or restore the
operational integrity of its system.
18.2 Whenever possible, NBP will identify those Shipper(s) whose
action(s) require NBP to issue an OFO and will limit the
applicability of the OFO to such Shipper(s). If NBP is unable to
identify those Shipper(s) whose action(s) require issuance of an
OFO, or if issuance of an OFO to discrete Shipper(s) is
insufficient to alleviate the conditions requiring the issuance of
such OFO, NBP may issue an additional OFO applicable to all
Shippers on a nondiscriminatory basis.
18.3 All OFOs will be posted on NBP's website, to be followed by a
facsimile, written notice or other mutually agreeable means of
electronic communication to affected Shippers that will set forth
the causes or conditions necessitating the OFO. NBP will issue an
OFO as expeditiously as is reasonable and practicable in the
circumstances. When practicable, NBP will provide sufficient
notice to customers to accommodate scheduling requirements on
upstream pipelines. Each OFO will contain the following
provisions:
(a) time and date of issuance;
(b) time that OFO is considered to be effective (if no time is
specified, the OFO will be effective immediately);
(c) duration of the OFO (if not specified, the OFO will be
effective until further notice);
(d) the party or parties receiving the OFO;
(e) the quantity of gas required to remedy the operational
condition requiring the issuance of the OFO; and
(f) any other term NBP may reasonably require to ensure the
effectiveness of the OFO.
