Estimate of Planned Participation
and Compensation
Although this ruling finds Group Petitioners ineligible for intervenor compensation, their description in the NOI of planned participation and estimated compensation request invite comment. Group Petitioners have previously raised issues and arguments that focus on what they believe are errors by other agencies in granting permits for the RCEC facility to be built. However, the permits to site and construct the RCEC power plant are neither within the scope of this proceeding nor the jurisdiction of the Commission. Thus, as stated in my ruling granting Group Petitioners party status, such arguments are misplaced in this proceeding.
Nonetheless, Group Petitioners' participation description refers to other agency proceedings and the compensation estimate includes unspecified fees for expert witnesses from the Federal Aviation Administration and the Department of Aeronautics. It is unclear how these items are likely to be relevant to the limited issues within the scope of this proceeding. The inclusion of such language suggests Group Petitioners may not be following my December 16, 2008, ruling granting party status which directed them to confine their activities in this proceeding to matters within the scope set forth in assigned Commissioner Peevey's Scoping Memo and Ruling issued November 17, 2008. Group Petitioners are reminded that they received party status for the purpose of participating in this proceeding within the parameters of the Scoping Memo. Party status may be withdrawn if Group Petitioners do not follow the terms of my prior ruling.
IT IS RULED that:
1. Group Petitioners' Notice of Intent to Claim Intervenor Compensation may be accepted for filing.
2. Group Petitioners are not a "customer" as defined by Public Utilities Code Section 1802(b).
3. Group Petitioners do not meet the "significant financial hardship" test as defined by Public Utilities Code Section 1802(g).
4. Group Petitioners are not eligible to claim intervenor compensation in this proceeding.
