Within 30 days of the effective date of this decision, Pacific Gas and Electric Company, San Diego Gas & Electric Company, and Southern California Edison Company shall pay Community Environmental Council their respective shares of the award. We direct Pacific Gas and Electric Company, San Diego Gas & Electric Company, and Southern California Edison to allocate payment responsibility based on their California-jurisdictional gas and electric revenues for the 2006 calendar year, to reflect the year in which most of CEC's costs were incurred. 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 March 12, 2007, the 75th day after CEC filed its compensation request, and continuing until full payment of the award is made.
3. Rulemaking 03-10-003 is closed.
This order is effective today.
