5. Award

We award TURN $573,335.70. Our calculation is based on the hourly rates described above.

We will assess responsibility for payment equally among PG&E and Edison. Consistent with previous Commission decisions, we will order that interest be paid on the award amount (calculated at the three-month commercial paper rate), commencing August 11, 2001 (the 75th day after TURN filed its compensation request) and continuing until each utility makes its full payment of award.

As in all intervenor compensation decisions, we put TURN on notice that the Commission Staff may audit TURN's records related to this award. Thus, TURN must make and retain adequate accounting and other documentation to support all claims for intervenor compensation. TURN'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.
