7. Hours Claimed

All intervenors have submitted time logs to support the hours claimed by their professionals. The logs include a daily breakdown of hours by activity. We find that all intervenors have adequately supported the hours for which they claim compensation but, as noted above, this is not equivalent to a finding that hours charged were reasonable in number.

The following tables set forth the hours claimed, rates requested, total fees requested, and other costs claimed by the various professionals in this proceeding for each year of such professional's participation. Unless otherwise indicated, hours claimed equal hours billed less a 50% reduction in hours related to preparation of fee requests and any additional voluntary reductions taken by the professionals involved.

4 Rates for Schilberg were adjusted as of each July 1 during the proceeding, which is the beginning of the fiscal year for her employer. The dollar figures shown for years 2000 and 2001 represent the product of the hours shown times rates in effect when each hour was recorded. 5 Frech has reduced his hourly rate for travel and fee-related work by 50% rather than reducing the hours claimed for such work. Frech's method for making this adjustment is actually our preferred method, as this method makes the adjustment more obvious (and thus easier to check) than halving the claimed hours. 6 Represents intervenor's proposed equal division of time between itself and its representative UDI, which has an independent interest in the outcome of this proceeding.
