4. Contributions of Other Parties

Section 1801.3(f) requires an intervenor to avoid participation that duplicates that of similar interests otherwise adequately represented by another party, or participation unnecessary for a fair determination of the proceeding. Section 1802.5, however, allows an intervenor to be eligible for full compensation where its participation materially supplements, complements, or contributes to the presentation of another party if that participation makes a substantial contribution to the Commission order.

As discussed in Section 3, Greenlining was one of three parties that addressed adjustment of SCE's executive compensation proposal. Although the adopted decision did not specifically identify which of or to what extent Greenlining's recommendations were key to the outcome adopted, for purposes of evaluating Greenlining's request, we conclude that its participation was in addition to but not duplicative of the presentations of other parties.
