Sec. 284.9  Interruptible transportation service.

    (a) Interruptible transportation availability. (1) An interstate 
pipeline that provides firm transportation service under subpart B or G 
of this part must also offer transportation service on an interruptible 
basis under that subpart or subparts and separately from any sales 
service.
    (2) An intrastate pipeline that provides transportation service 
under Subpart C may offer such transportation service on an 
interruptible basis.
    (3) Service on an interruptible basis means that the capacity used 
to provide the service is subject to a prior claim by another customer 
or another class of service and receives a lower priority than such 
other classes of service.
    (b) The provisions regarding non-discriminatory access, reasonable 
operational conditions, and limitations contained in Sec. 284.7 (b), 
(c), and (f) apply to pipelines providing interruptible service under 
this section.
    (c) Reservation fee. No reservation fee may be imposed for 
interruptible service. A pipeline's rate for any transportation service 
provided under this section may not include any minimum bill provision, 
minimum take provision, or any other provision that has the effect of 
guaranteeing revenue.
