TOTAL AWARD

$17,880.91

Consistent with previous Commission decisions, we order that interest be paid on the award amount (at the rate earned on prime, three-month commercial paper, as reported in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15) commencing on the 75th day after SFCP filed its compensation request, and continuing until full payment of the award is made.

We direct PG&E, SDG&E, and SCE to allocate payment responsibility among themselves based upon their California-jurisdictional gas and electric revenues for the 2009 calendar year, to reflect the year in which the proceeding was primarily litigated.

We remind all intervenors that Commission staff may audit their records related to the award and that intervenors must make and retain adequate accounting and other documentation to support all claims for intervenor compensation. SFCP's records should identify specific issues for which it requested compensation, the actual time spent by each employee or consultant, the applicable hourly rates, fees paid to consultants, and any other costs for which compensation was claimed. The records pertaining to an award of compensation shall be retained for at least three years from the date of the final decision making the award.

18 The hours shown reflect the reduction of 75 percent.

19 Poole's hours reflect the reduction of 75 percent and other calculation errors and are calculated as follows: Total requested hours 129.75 minus 8 hours properly allocated to C.08-10-015 minus 3.5 hours allocated to preparation of claim for intervenor compensation is 118.25 hours total. 75% of 118.25 is 88.69. 118.25 minus 88.69 is 29.56, which was rounded to the next quarter hour.

20 Fleisher's hours reflect the reduction of 75 percent, resulting in 4.5 hours of time properly allocated to this proceeding. However, because Fleisher provided both research (reimbursable) and clerical support which the Commission does not compensate for, her time is again reduced by half to remove compensation for clerical work.
