We will assess responsibility for payment among Edison, PG&E, and SDG&E according to their respective share of the California jurisdictional revenues filed with the Commission for each utility for 2001. These revenues include combining the gas and electric revenues for PG&E and SDG&E. We adopt this methodology to reflect the nature of the combined electric and gas issues in this proceeding. This methodology results in the following allocation of award payment responsibility.
PG&E 55.5%
Edison 34.4
SDG&E 10.1
100.0%
Consistent with previous Commission decisions, we will order that interest be paid on the award amount (calculated at the three-month commercial paper rate), commencing May 29, 2002 (the 75th day after TURN filed its compensation request) and continuing until the utility makes its full payment.
As in all intervenor compensation decisions, we put TURN on notice that the Commission Staff may audit TURN's records related to this award. Thus, TURN must make and retain adequate accounting and other documentation to support all claims for intervenor compensation. TURN's records should identify specific issues for which it requests compensation, the actual time spent by each employee, the applicable hourly rate, fees paid to consultants, and any other costs for which compensation may be claimed.
