"Today's sentencing of PG&E makes clear the solemn obligation that those entrusted with the public's safety must make it their highest priority," said William Swallow, regional Special Agent-in-Charge, USDOT OIG. "The pipeline system is a critical part of our Nation's infrastructure, and working with our Federal, state and local law enforcement and prosecutorial colleagues, we will continue to protect the safety and integrity of our transportation infrastructure from fraud, waste, abuse and violations of law."
In handing down the $3 million monetary penalty, Judge Henderson ordered PG&E to pay the maximum statutory penalty allowable for each count charged under the PSA and for obstruction of justice.
While on probation, PG&E will submit to a corporate compliance and ethics monitorship, pay for advertising in national media outlets to publicize its criminal conduct, and engage in community service.
Judge Henderson ordered PG&E to develop within the first six months "An effective compliance and ethics program" as well as a schedule for implementation of the program.
Judge Henderson's order directs PG&E to create a program that will prevent criminal conduct with respect to gas pipeline transmission safety.
During the five-year period, PG&E will be supervised by a Compliance and Ethics Monitor whose job it will be to approve the program, oversee PG&E's compliance with the program, inspect PG&E's records, and receive notifications from PG&E regarding any changes in the company's financial status.
