4. Procedural Requirements

The first four of the above requirements are procedural and we address them below. The PHC in this matter was held on June 14, 2007. Aglet-TURN filed their joint NOI timely on July 16, 2007. In their joint NOI, Aglet-TURN asserted financial hardship. On July 26, 2007, the assigned Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) ruled that Aglet-TURN are Category 3 customers, pursuant to § 1802(b)(1)(C), and satisfied the significant financial hardship condition through a rebuttable presumption of eligibility, pursuant to § 1804(b)(1).

Aglet-TURN filed their joint request for compensation on February 19, 2008, within the required 60 days of D.07-12-049 being issued. On March 20, 2008, SCE filed a response to the request, claiming Aglet/TURN's contribution was not substantial and there was a duplication of the work of other parties. On April 4, 2008, Aglet filed a reply to SCE's response. The reply also amended the request by including additional expenses.

We affirm the ALJ's ruling and find that Aglet-TURN has satisfied all the procedural requirements necessary to make their joint request for compensation.
