VI. Award

As set forth in the table below, we award NRDC $64,918.78.

Representative	Time (hours)	Rate ($/hour)	Labor	Expenses	Compensation
Devra Wang - expert	215.25	$120.00	$25,830.00	$3,474.08	$29,304.08
Audrey Chang - expert	274.50	$110.00	$30,195.00	$657.20	$30,852.20
Peter Miller - consultant	31.75	$150.00	$4,762.50	$0.00	$4,762.50
TOTAL			$60,787.50	$4,131.28	$64,918.78

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 on January 31, 2006, the 75^th day after NRDC filed its compensation request, and continuing until full payment of the award is made.

We direct PG&E, SDG&E, SoCalGas, and SCE to allocate payment responsibility among themselves based upon their California-jurisdictional gas and electric revenues for the 2005 calendar year, to reflect the year in which the proceeding was primarily litigated.

We remind NRDC that Commission staff may audit its records related to this award and that NRDC must make and retain adequate accounting and other documentation to support all claims for intervenor compensation. NRDC's records should identify specific issues for which it 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.

Finally, we note that NRDC continues to participate as a PAG and PRG member during the compliance and implementation phases of this proceeding throughout the three-year program cycle. Consistent with the direction given by the ALJ, NRDC may submit future requests for compensation related to its ongoing advisory group participation in our generic rulemaking, R.01-08-028, or its successor proceeding.¹⁴
