Consistent with previous Commission decisions, we order that interest be paid on the award amounts (at the rate earned on prime, three-month commercial paper, as reported in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15) commencing the 75th day after each intervenor filed its compensation request and continuing until full payment of the award is made.45
This is a quasi-legislative rulemaking proceeding affecting the entire regulated telecommunications industry. As such, we find it appropriate to authorize payment of the compensation awards from the intervenor compensation program fund, as described in D.00-01-020. To obtain their awards, intervenors that have never received payment of an award from the Commission must provide their taxpayer identification number, and a completed STD 204 Payee Data Record form, available at http://www.documents.dgs.ca.gov/osp/pdf/std204.pdf, to the address below. For assistance completing Section 1 of STD 204, call the phone number below.

We remind all intervenors that Commission staff may audit their records related to these awards and that intervenors must make and retain adequate accounting and other documentation to support all claims for intervenor compensation. Those 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.
