a scientist at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. The amounts claimed are further conservative for the following reasons: (1) No time is claimed for internal coordination, only for substantive policy development; (2) we do not claim time for substantive review by NRDC staff other than the active staff noted above, even though their expertise was critical to ensuring productive recommendations; and (3) we claim no time for travel. In addition, the rates requested by NRDC are purposefully conservative and low on the ranges approved by the Commission, even though the levels of expertise would justify higher rates. NRDC maintained detailed time records indicating the number of hours that were devoted to proceeding activities. All hours represent substantive work related to this proceeding. In sum, NRDC made numerous and significant contributions on behalf of environmental and customer interests, required research and analysis. We took every effort to coordinate with other stakeholders to reduce duplication and increase the overall efficiency of the proceeding. Since our work was efficient, hours extremely conservative, and billing rates low, for compensation should be granted in full. NRDC’s request c.
