Total Compensation Awarded to CCAE $37,067.28
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 (1) June 10, 2006, the 75th day after 280 Citizens and Kheifets filed their compensation requests, and continuing until full payment of the awards are made, and (2) June 23, 2006, the 75th day after CCAE filed its compensation request, and continuing until full payment of the award is made.
We direct PG&E, SCE, and San Diego Gas & Electric Company to allocate payment responsibility among themselves based upon their California-jurisdictional electric revenues for the 2005 calendar year, to reflect the year in which the proceeding was primarily litigated.
We remind all intervenors that Commission staff may audit their records related to the award and that intervenors must make and retain adequate accounting and other documentation to support all claims for intervenor compensation. 280 Citizens', Kheifets', and CCAE's records should identify specific issues for which each 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.
20 One-half of normal rate for travel and intervenor compensation work.
