already found that Rafferty made no substantial contribution on safety issues, i.e., the testimony that served as the basis for Rafferty’s participation in the settlement discussions. Because we find no substantial contribution by Rafferty on that core substantive issue, we also find that Rafferty made no substantial contribution to the settlement. In the absence of a substantial contribution, Rafferty’s claim for intervenor compensation related to the settlement in this proceeding must be denied. Rafferty claims 419 hours for settlement-related activities (37% of total hours claimed, over $200,000 in compensation at Rafferty’s requested hourly rate). Therefore, the 419 hours claimed by Rafferty for substantial contribution to D.17-05-013 regarding the settlement in this proceeding are disallowed. Compensation Metrics Contribution Intervenor’s Claimed Rafferty asserts that he avoided duplication with NAAC/NDC’s advocacy for linking executive compensation to safety performance, but contributed to the discussion and resolution of this issue in the course of the settlement. CAUSE asserts that he also supported this effort by promoting specific safety metrics. Rafferty also asserts that “while the majority of [my] specific contributions to the settlement are privileged, PGE-43 does reflect an agreed statement on the future evaluation of how metrics are used in setting executive compensation that is specifically attributed to CAUSE.” Specific References to Intervenor’s Claimed Contribution Rafferty provides the following references to support his claims of substantial contribution to D.17-05-013 on “compensation metrics”.
