All gas and electric utilities under our jurisdiction were named respondents to this rulemaking. Mountain Utilities, a small electric utility serving approximately 125 customers, filed a response to DRA's request for compensation seeking to be exempted from paying a proportional share of any award made to DRA. Mountain Utilities argues that its proportional share is so small that the administrative burden associated with payment of its share of the award would outweigh the cost of payment. We agree and will not require Mountain Utilities to contribute towards payment of the award. We will assess responsibility for payment in accordance with the respective 2001 California jurisdictional gas and electric revenues of Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E), Southern California Edison Company, San Diego Gas & Electric Company, Southern California Gas Company, Southwest Gas Company, Sierra Pacific Power Company, Pacificorp, and Bear Valley Electric Company. PG&E has agreed to coordinate the allocation of the award to ensure that each utility's share is allocated correctly.
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 DRA filed its compensation request and continuing until each utility makes full payment of its share of the award.
