VII. Comments on Draft Decision

Pursuant to Rule 77.7(f)(6) of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure, the otherwise applicable 30-day period for public review and comment could be waived. However, we are allowing 30-days comment on the decision because it does not award the requested compensation in full and because SDG&E has contested the request. SSRC filed comments on January 15, 2004. It objects to our reduction in its fees by 30%, but provides no new evidence that it was reasonable for it to incur seven weeks of attorneys' fees on two post-decision motions. We make no change in the draft decision.
