Related Actions and Proceedings On September 13, 2010, the Commission’s Executive Director ordered PG&E to reduce operating pressure in Line 132 to a 20% below the pressure at the time of the explosion. On September 23, 2010 the Commission issued Resolution L-403, ordering PG&E to the classification of its natural gas “review transmission pipelines and determine if those classifications have changed since the initial designation.” Resolution L-403 also created the IRP to gather and review facts, and make recommendations to the Commission for the improvement of the safe management of PG&E’s natural gas transmission lines. The NTSB issued Urgent Safety Recommendations P-10-2 and P-10-3 on January 3, 2011.
