    (a) Blanket certificate. A blanket certificate shall issue under 
this section to any intrastate pipeline that receives natural gas 
produced in adjacent Federal waters or onshore or offshore in an 
adjacent state, provided that:
    (1) The gas must be received by the intrastate pipeline from a

    (2) The intrastate pipeline delivers the gas in the intrastate 
pipeline's state of operation to an end user or another intrastate 
pipeline; and
    (3) The gas ultimately used by an end user in the same state.
    (b) Effective date. If an intrastate pipeline is providing a 
transportation service described in paragraph (a) of this section as of 
February 1, 1992, and the service is not a qualifying service under 
Sec. 284.122 of subpart C of this part, a blanket certificate shall 
issue under paragraph (a) of this section and become effective as of 
February 1, 1992. If an intrastate pipeline is not providing a 
transportation service described in paragraph (a) of this section as of 
February 1, 1992 the blanket certificate shall issue and become 
effective on the date that the intrastate pipeline commences such a 
service that is not a qualifying service under Sec. 284.122 of subpart 
C of this part.
    (c) Acceptance of certificate. An intrastate pipeline shall be 
deemed to have accepted a blanket certificate under this section if it 
continues after February 1, 1992, a service described in paragraph (a) 
of this section that is not a qualifying service under Sec. 284.122 of 
subpart C or commences such a service after November 4, 1991.
    (d) Terms and conditions. An intrastate pipeline's blanket 
certificate transportation authority under this section is subject to 
its compliance with all terms and conditions of subpart C of this part, 
except that service under this section does not have to be on behalf of 
an interstate pipeline or local distribution company served by an 
interstate pipeline.
    (e) Pregrant of abandonment. Abandonment of transportation services, 
pursuant to section 7(b) of the Natural

each individual arrangement authorized by a blanket certificate under 
this section.
    (f) Effect of certificate. Acceptance of a certificate issued under 
this section or conduct of activity authorized under this section will 
not subject the certificate holder to the Natural Gas Act jurisdiction 
of the Commission except to the extent necessary to enforce the terms 
and conditions of the certificate.
