# §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 § [284.7 (b)](/cfr/18/284.7.md?p=b), [(c)](/cfr/18/284.7.md?p=c), and [(f)](/cfr/18/284.7.md?p=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.
