Pursuant to 18 CFR
Section 358.7(e)(2) Posted 3/17/2022 Building and Building
Services – Pursuant
to §358.7(e)(2) of the Commission’s Regulations, the following is a complete
list of the employee-staffed facilities (excluding facilities where individuals
do not typically transact business) shared by any Transmission Function
Employees (TFEs) for Discovery Gas Transmission (DGT) and Marketing Function
Employees. The following
employee-staffed facilities are shared by certain Transmission Function
Employees for DGT and Marketing Function Employees: One Williams Center Tulsa, Oklahoma The Marketing Function
Employees reside in an office space that is separated from the locations of the
Transmission Function Employees for DGT. DGT’s main office facility is located at 2800
Post Oak Blvd., Houston, Texas. No Marketing Function Employees share this
facility. A card key is required to access the office space that DGT’s TFEs
occupy in its main facilities in Houston. The card key access system prohibits
access by a Marketing Function Employee to DGT’s Houston facilities. Marketing
Function Employees, as with non-affiliated visitors, may enter DGT’s office
space after registering with a receptionist and providing identification, but
no card key is provided and they must be escorted by DGT personnel. Williams employees who have access to DGT’s non-public
Transmission Function Information are responsible for securing such information
from unauthorized disclosure using properly secured information/processing
systems and for similarly securing hard copy information. Computer Systems - Transmission Function Employees of DGT and Marketing Function
Employees share telephone systems, electronic mail systems, SharePoint and
related servers, cloud based applications such as Office 365, and the wide area
network which connects Williams various locations, as well as access to servers
on which corporate support-related systems reside, such as the human resources
system, and the financial enterprise resource planning system (which supports
finance, accounting, planning and forecasting, and reporting functions). Access
to the systems that contain Transmission Function Information (including
non-affiliated shipper information) is subject to strict access controls such
as user ids and passwords or other appropriate information security
requirements as necessary to maintain compliance with the Standards of Conduct. SharePoint sites that may include Transmission Function
Information are identified and labeled as potentially having non-public
regulated data. These sites will contain a prominent warning regarding
information sharing and no-conduit rules. Overall security access for MFEs is
regularly reviewed by the Williams FERC Compliance Officer or their designee. The remaining servers where Transmission Function Information is
maintained are not shared with Marketing Function Employees. Access to those
servers is restricted by access control mechanisms (such as user ids,
passwords, FERC deny flag for Windows servers, visibility restriction of FERC
IT components in the access control system). Additionally, a firewall
restricts MFE computer, internet and printer access and will deny-by-default
access to any area not approved. IT procedures require Williams FERC
Regulatory Compliance approval for firewall access changes. DGT follows the Williams Access Control process under which DGT
ensures that Marketing Function Employees do not have preferential computer
access to non-public Transmission Function Information. Marketing Function
Employee system access is regularly reviewed by the Williams FERC Compliance
Officer. Any transfer by a Transmission Function Employee to a Marketing
Function position is treated as a termination for access purposes, where old
access is revoked prior to granting any new access. |
