1. Summary
This decision grants the November 19, 1999 Application of Pacific Pipeline System LLC (PPS) pursuant to Public Utilities Code Section 851 for approval to grant third-party access to fiber optic cable located in PPS' crude oil pipelines. It approves the construction required to facilitate such access subject to certain conditions designed to protect the environment. However, because PPS completed this construction without Commission approval, we reserve for a second phase of this proceeding the determination of whether PPS should be penalized or sanctioned for violation of law or Commission rules.
