19. OPERATING PROVISIONS FOR INTERRUPTIBLE TRANSPORTATION SERVICE
Interruptible transportation service under this FERC Gas
Tariff shall be provided when, and to the extent that, El Paso
determines that capacity is available in El Paso's existing
facilities, which capacity is not subject to a prior claim by
another customer or another class of service under a pre-existing
contract, service agreement or certificate. Available
interruptible capacity shall be allocated by El Paso on a first
come/first served basis, as determined by El Paso, and
interruptible transportation service hereunder shall be provided in
accordance with such allocation.
The provisions of this Section 19 shall also be applicable to
interruptible service under special rate schedules contained in
El Paso's Volume No. 2 Tariff.
19.1 A valid request for interruptible transportation service under
this FERC Gas Tariff made after the effectiveness of Section
23 hereof shall be in accordance with, and contain the data
required by the provisions contained in such Section 23.
19.2 With respect to all requests for interruptible service by a
Shipper who had not contracted for service prior to October 9,
1985, the provisions of Sections 19.3 through 19.6 and Section
23.6 shall govern.
19.3 On any day that sufficient capacity is not available in
El Paso's system to provide transportation for all gas
tendered under executed Transportation Service Agreements with
Shippers referred to in Section 19.2 above, El Paso shall
allocate its available capacity among such Shippers on a first
come/first served basis. For purposes of allocating such
capacity, any Shipper holding an effective Transportation
Service Agreement or any Shipper who has furnished El Paso
with a valid request complying with the requirements contained
in Section 19.4 and in Section 23, when accepted by El Paso in
an executed Transportation Service Agreement, will be entitled
to priority over any Shipper furnishing El Paso with a valid
request on a later date and shall be unaffected by and shall
have priority over subsequent requests for service under Rate
Schedule T-1.
