Decision 07-10-014 October 4, 2007

BEFORE THE PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA

Application of Pacific Gas and Electric Company for Approval of Long-term Request for Offer Results and for Adoption of Cost Recovery and Ratemaking Mechanisms.

Application 06-04-012 (Filed April 11, 2006)

ORDER MODIFYING

DECISION (D.) 07-05-043, AND DENYING REHEARING

OF DECISION, AS MODIFIED

I. INTRODUCTION

On June 18, 2007, The Utility Reform Network ("TURN") filed an application for rehearing of Decision (D.) 07-05-043 ("Decision"). D.07-05-043 awards TURN $47,630.83 of the $81,495.81 it requested for its work contributing to the resolution of issues in D.06-11-048 in this proceeding. In its application for rehearing, TURN specifically challenges the Decision's denial of TURN's request for compensation for the travel time and expenses of its consultant, Marcus.

We have carefully considered all the arguments presented by TURN and are of the opinion that legal error has not been shown. However, we are persuaded that it is reasonable to award compensation for Marcus' travel time and expenses in this limited instance. Accordingly, we will modify the Decision to grant the additional compensation, and deny rehearing of the Decision, as modified.
