4. 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. D.01-11-07, the decision in response to Sawaya's appeal, was adopted by the Commission on November 8, 2001, but was not mailed until November 9, 2001. Sixty days thereafter is January 8, 2002, and Sawaya filed his request on December 24, 2001. Sawaya's request for an award of compensation is timely.

MCI timely filed its opposition to the request on January 22, 2002.
