Consistent with previous Commission decisions, we order that interest be paid on the awarded 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 Aglet, Greenlining, and TURN filed their respective compensation requests and continuing until full payment of the award is made. The awards are to be paid by SCE as the regulated entity in this proceeding.
We remind all intervenors that Commission staff may audit their records related to this award and that intervenors must make and retain adequate accounting and other documentation to support all claims for intervenor compensation.
