Pursuant to § 1807, we order Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E), San Diego Gas & Electric Company (SDG&E), and Southern California Edison Company (SCE) to pay the total amount of the award. Consistent with previous Commission decisions, we order that interest be paid on the award amount of $89,323.64 (at the rate earned on prime, three-month commercial paper, as reported in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15) commencing on July 31, 2010, the 75th day after UCS filed its compensation request of May 17, 2010, and continuing until full payment of the award is made. The interest on the award amount of $8,835.75 should be paid (at the rate earned on prime, three-month commercial paper, as reported in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15) commencing on May 28, 2011, the 75th day after UCS filed its compensation request of March 14, 2011.
We direct PG&E, SDG&E, and SCE to allocate payment responsibility among themselves based upon their California-jurisdictional electric revenues for the 2008 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. UCS'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.
