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 May 4, 2008, the 75th day after NRDC and TURN filed their compensation requests, and continuing until full payment of the award is made to each.
We direct PG&E, SDG&E, SoCalGas, and SCE to allocate payment responsibility among themselves based upon their California-jurisdictional gas and electric revenues for the 2007 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. TURN's and NRDC's records should identify specific issues for which they 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.
