3. Timeliness of Request

Section 1804(c) requires an eligible customer to file a request for an award within 60 days of issuance of a final order or decision by the Commission in the proceeding. The Commission approved D.02-01-063 at its scheduled public meeting on January 23, 2002 and mailed it to parties of record the next day. The Commission rejected the SDG&E settlement proposal during executive session immediately following the public portion of the January 23 meeting. The sixtieth day after the January 23 meeting was Sunday, March 24. The Joint Intervenors' request for compensation was timely filed on March 25, 2002, the first working day thereafter.
