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 the 75th day after Intervenors filed this compensation request and continuing until the utility makes full payment.

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