the successful settlement efforts, the Commission should find the requested hours and associated compensation very reasonable. TURN is also seeking compensation for 5.5 hours devoted to compensation-related matters, primarily 5.0 hours associated with the preparation of this request by Mr. Finkelstein. TURN assigned the task to Mr. Finkelstein despite his relatively high hourly rate because the combination of his in-depth familiarity with the rulemaking and his extensive experience with compensation requests ensured that the request could be prepared in a relatively small number of hours and a lower total cost, even at the relatively high hourly rate. TURN submits that our recorded attorney hours in this proceeding are reasonable. As such, TURN requests an award of compensation in the full amount requested. c. Allocation of hours by issue: Noted TURN has allocated all of our attorney and consultant time by issue area or activity, as is evident in our attached timesheets (Attachment 2) and in Attachment 4, which shows the allocation of time by personnel and issue/activity area.
