Findings of Fact

1. TURN has satisfied all the procedural requirements necessary to claim compensation in this proceeding.

2. TURN made a substantial contribution to D.06-06-014, D.07-03-044 and D.07-05-058 as described herein.

3. TURN's time spent analyzing the late payment fee portion of the uncollectibles factor did not substantially contribute to the resolution of issues in D.07-03-044.

4. TURN's time spent addressing the normalized net salvage depreciation proposal is excessive, since the proposal had been previously presented in another proceeding and is no longer novel.

5. TURN requested hourly rates for its representatives that are reasonable when compared to the market rates for persons with similar training and experience.

6. TURN requested related expenses that are reasonable, as adjusted herein, and commensurate with the work performed.

7. The total of the reasonable compensation for D.06-06-014 and, D.07-03-044 is $436,920.55 and for D.07-05-058 is $27,883.10.
