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 November 25, 2007, the 75th day after TURN filed its compensation request, and continuing until full payment of the award is made.
We direct PG&E, SDG&E, SCG, and SCE to allocate payment responsibility among themselves based upon their California-jurisdictional gas and electric revenues for the 2006 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. TURN's records should identify specific issues for which it requested compensation, the actual time spent by each employee or consultant, the applicable hourly rates, fees paid to consultants, and any other costs for which compensation was claimed.
8 Hourly rates are reduced 50% for preparation of the NOI and compensation request.
