Consistent with previous Commission decisions, we order that interest be paid on the award amounts (at the rate earned on prime, three-month commercial paper as reported in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15) commencing the 75th day after each intervenor filed its compensation request and continuing until full payment of the award is made.35
This is a quasi-legislative rulemaking proceeding affecting the entire regulated telecommunications industry. As such, we find it appropriate to authorize payment of these compensation awards from the intervenor compensation program fund, as described in D.00-01-020.
We remind all intervenors that Commission staff may audit their records related to these awards and that intervenors must make and retain adequate accounting and other documentation to support all claims for intervenor compensation. Those records should identify specific issues for which they 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. 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.
35 The filing dates to be used are September 25, 2007, for CFC and LIF; and August 20, 2007, for Greenlining.
