Shared Facilities

 

Pursuant to the 18 CFR Part Section 358.4(b)(2).
Order 690

 

Building and Building Services - Seller does not share any building or building services with Seller's Marketing Affiliates.  A card key is required to access the office space that Seller's personnel occupy in its main facilities in Houston. The card key access system prohibits access by Marketing Affiliate personnel to seller’s Houston facilities. Marketing Affiliate personnel, as with non-affiliated visitors, may enter Seller's office space after registering with a receptionist and providing identification, but no card key is provided and they must be escorted by Seller's personnel.

 

Computer Systems - Seller and its Marketing Affiliates share a Wide Area Network, and share access to servers on which corporate support-related systems, such as the human resources system, and the financial enterprise resource planning system (which supports finance, accounting, planning and forecasting, and reporting functions) are maintained. Access to any transmission system information and non-affiliated shipper information on those shared resources is restricted by organizational roles and the use of access control mechanisms (such as user ids, passwords, data view) to ensure that employees of Seller's Marketing Affiliates do not have access to that information. The remaining servers where transmission system information and non-affiliated shipper information is maintained are not shared with Seller's Marketing Affiliates. Access to those servers is restricted by the use of network segmentation and access control mechanisms (such as user ids, passwords, data view) to ensure that employees of Seller's Marketing Affiliates do not have access, except that Seller's Marketing Affiliates have access to transmission-related information through Seller's 1Line System in the same manner, and under the same terms and conditions, as Seller's non-affiliated shippers.
