IX. Direct Expenses

A. 280 Citizens

The itemized direct expenses submitted by 280 Citizens include costs for LEXIS, photocopying, postage, and a legal filing fee and total $663.68. The cost breakdown included with the request shows the miscellaneous expenses to be commensurate with the work performed. We find these costs reasonable.

B. Kheifets

The itemized direct expenses submitted by Kheifets include costs for travel, photocopying, postage and telephone, and total $630.00. Kheifets' reported expenses are commensurate with the work performed and we accept them as reasonable. We note that Kheifets submits her travel request as a total amount, rather than explaining each item of travel, such as automobile or airline travel. Although we will allow the total travel in this instance, we instruct Kheifets that any future intervenor compensation request should provide a more detailed breakdown of travel costs.

C. CCAE

CCAE requests compensation for expenses totaling $77.28, including photocopies, postage, and travel (vehicle mileage, tolls, parking, and meals). We do not provide compensation for meals. Therefore, we have deducted $10.00 from CCAE's direct expenses. We find the remaining costs of $67.28 reasonable.
