Then he, commission President Michael Peevey and Commissioner Timothy Simon adopted the proposal, which would become final after a 45-day public comment period and another vote. In fact, however, the proposal the commission approved - which the agency's staff did not make available to the public until after the meeting - would require utilities to file immediate reports only for spikes in which pressure soars more than 10 percent above legal limits. That applies both to accidental and intentional incidents...Florio said he was shocked when he realized that the new language relaxed the proposed rules.
