Commission Decision. The Commission will determine the amount, if any, of Issue Fund Grants that will be made available for each Eligible Proceeding. The Commission may make this determination based upon the following factors: (a) the breadth and complexity of the issues; (b) the significance of any policy issues; (c) the procedural schedule; (d) the dollar magnitude of the issues at stake; (e) the participation of other parties that adequately represent the interests of customers; (f) the amount of funds being provided by CUB; (g) CUB’s qualifications and experience before the Commission; (h) the level of available funds in the Fund account or accounts involved; and (i) other Eligible Proceedings in which CUB may seek additional Issue Fund Grants from the same Fund account. The Commission shall condition Issue Fund Grants on CUB’s providing evidence that CUB has used in-house resources or outside funding to account for or pay at least 20% of the Eligible Expenses for the work to be performed in the proceeding for which CUB is seeking an Issue Fund Grant. The Commission may deny, in whole or in part, a request for an Issue Fund Grant based on the above criteria and requirements. The Commission may place reasonable conditions on Issue Fund Grants, including but not limited to requiring that CUB use in-house resources or outside funding to account for or pay more than 20% of the Eligible Expenses for the work to be performed in the proceeding for which CUB is seeking an Issue Fund Grant. Except as provided in this Section, an Issue Fund Grant shall constitute a binding obligation on the Commission to order reimbursement of Eligible Expenses subject to satisfaction of any conditions imposed on the Issue Fund Grant and the requirements set forth in Article 7 and Article 8 below. The Commission may amend an Issue Fund Grant if it finds that there has been a material change in the breadth and complexity of the issues, the significance of the policy issues, or the dollar magnitude at stake, such that the initial Issue Fund Grant is no longer warranted. If the Commission amends an Issue Fund Grant, it will provide notice to CUB and afford an opportunity to comment and provide a revised budget. A Commission amendment of an Issue Fund Grant shall take effect on a prospective basis only. Eligible Expenses incurred or accrued before the Commission amendment will be reimbursed according to the terms set forth in Article 7 below notwithstanding the Commission amendment of the Issue Fund Grant.
