6. Conclusion
As discussed above, the expenditures incurred by GSMOL in this proceeding are attributable to Hambly, were outside of the scope of the proceeding, or had no impact on the outcome of the proceeding. Additionally, GSMOL does not qualify as a customer. Therefore, none of GSMOL's request is reimbursable under the intervenor compensation program.12 As a result, we will deny the request. If there had been compensable expenditures, there would be no means for paying them because there is no utility to pay them, and this proceeding does not qualify under the requirements of D.00-01-020.
12 Because we find that GSMOL's efforts in this proceeding are either attributable to Hambly, outside the scope, or did not result in a substantial contribution, the general expenditures for June and July 2000 are also not compensable.
