Not exactly, and not exactly.
I won't touch on the first points as everyone nowadays has access to Google.
To answer your question, the AER shut down frac-ing around Fox until it could be determined if there were imminent risks of setting off another sizable quake. Once it was determined that the odds were slim, activity was allowed to commence. Albeit much more closely watched for the first 30 days or so.
