PacifiCorp shall pay the award to the Mackintoshes within 30 days of issuance of this decision. Consistent with previous Commission decisions, PacifiCorp should also pay interest on the award amount (at the rate earned on prime, three-month commercial paper, as reported in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15) commencing on November 24, 2007, the 75th day after the Mackintoshes filed their compensation request, and continuing until full payment of the award is made.
We remind all intervenors that Commission staff may audit their records related to the award and that intervenors must make and retain adequate accounting and other documentation to support all claims for intervenor compensation. The Mackintoshes' records should identify specific issues for which they requested compensation, the actual time spent by each employee or consultant, the applicable hourly rate, fees paid to consultants, and any other costs for which compensation was claimed.
10 Each of these disallowances is reflected in the Amendment to Comments of Don and Judy Mackintosh on the Proposed Decision Granting Intervenor Compensation filed on May 23, 2008. We initially disallowed 20% across the board, but were persuaded by the Mackintoshes' comments to only disallow for those professionals who worked only for a brief period on the case.
