We order that Pacific and PBIS pay this award. Consistent with previous Commission decisions, we order that interest be paid on the award amount (calculated at the three-month commercial paper rate), commencing the 75th day after GLIF filed their compensation requests and continuing until defendants make full payment.
As in all intervenor compensation decisions, we put GLIF on notice that the Commission Staff may audit GLIF's records related to this award. Thus, GLIF must make and retain adequate accounting and other documentation to support all claims for intervenor compensation. GLIF's records should identify specific issues for which it requests compensation, the actual time spent by each employee, the applicable hourly rate, fees paid to consultants, and any other costs for which compensation may be claimed.
