- 4. Production Allocation
- 5. Agency Reporting and Fees
The Task Force made 27 recommendations for amendments or process improvements to these sections of the General Order which were accepted by the Commission. For the Task Force report and other materials on the proposed changes to the General Order please see the Resources links on this page.
