interruptible sales in accordance with the provisions of this section.

transportation service. On the effective date of the pipeline's blanket 
certificate for unbundled sales services under paragraph (a) of this 
section, firm sales entitlements under any firm sales service agreement 
for a bundled sales service are converted to an equivalent amount of 
unbundled firm sales service and an equivalent amount of unbundled firm 
transportation service.
    (c) Conversion to unbundled interruptible sales service and 
interruptible transportation service. On the effective date of the 
pipeline's blanket certificate for unbundled sales services under 
paragraph (a) of this section, interruptible sales volumes under any 
interruptible sales service agreement for a bundled sales service are 
converted to an equivalent amount of unbundled sales service and an 
equivalent amount of unbundled interruptible transportation service.
    (d) A pipeline that provides unbundled sales service under this 
section may serve as an agent of the sales customer to arrange for any 
pipeline-provided service necessary to deliver gas to the customer.
    (e) Small customer cost-based rate. A pipeline that provided bundled 
sales service to a small customer before the effective date of the 
blanket certificate granted in paragraph (a) of this section is required 
to offer a sales service to that customer at a cost-based rate for one 
year from the effective date of the certificate. The obligation to sell 
at the cost-based rate expires one year after the effective date of the 
certificate.
