Consistent with previous Commission decisions, we order that interest be paid on the award amount (at the rate earned on prime, three-month commercial paper, as reported in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15) commencing the 75th day after Adams filed his compensation request (or, June 6, 2005) and continuing until full payment of the award is made.

This rulemaking proceeding affected a broad array of utilities and others in the telecommunications and electrical fields. As such, payment of the compensation award shall be made from the Commission's intervenor compensation program fund, as described in D.00-01-020.

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. The records should identify specific issues for which compensation was requested, 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.
