3. OPERATING PROVISIONS FOR INTERRUPTIBLE SERVICE
3.1 Availability of Interruptible Service
Interruptible service under this FERC Gas Tariff shall
be provided when, and to the extent that, Sabine
determines that capacity is available in Sabine's
existing System, which capacity is not subject to a
prior claim by another Shipper or another class of
service under a pre-existing agreement or certificate.
Available interruptible capacity shall be allocated by
Sabine on a first-come, first-served basis, and
interruptible service priority shall be determined in
accordance with Subsection 3.2. In the event new
capacity becomes available due to the construction or
acquisition of facilities, pursuant to authorization
under Section 7 of the Natural Gas Act and FERC
regulations, Sabine shall post such capacity on its
Internet web site (web site) and shall provide an open
season, with a minimum duration of ten (10) days,
during which potential Shippers may submit initial
requests for interruptible service. In the event an
expansion of capacity creates new capacity at points
where a queue exists, new requests for IT service made
during the open season will be accorded queue positions
inferior to existing valid requests for IT service,
unless the expansion is deemed incremental for
ratemaking purposes.
3.2 Priority of Service
Interruptible transportation services shall be subject
to and subordinate to firm transportation services
provided by Sabine. Priority in allocation of
available interruptible capacity shall be determined by
the time and date Sabine receives a complete request
for interruptible service under this FERC Gas Tariff,
which conforms to Section 4 of the General Terms and
Conditions, provided Shipper executes an Interruptible
Service Agreement in the form contained in this FERC
Gas Tariff within thirty (30) days from the date Sabine
tenders an Interruptible Service Agreement for
execution. If a Shipper fails to execute an
Interruptible Service Agreement within thirty (30)
