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 July 21, 2008, the 75th day after GPI filed its compensation request, and continuing until full payment of the award is made.

This rulemaking proceeding affected a broad array of utilities and other load-serving entities in energy field. As such, we find it appropriate to authorize payment of today's awards from the Commission's intervenor compensation program fund, as described in D.00-01-020.

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. GPI's records should identify specific issues for which it requested compensation, the actual time spent by each employee or consultant, the applicable hourly rate, fees paid to consultants, and any other costs for which compensation was claimed.
