      The  Intervenor, John Cummings,   filed an application for attorney fees on
December   20, 1991.   The application attaches the affidavit of counsel for the
Intervenor and a Statement  of Time and  Charges.   Respondent   filed an
Opposition to Intervenor's Application on January 8, 1992, and a Memorandum in
Support  of its Opposition on April 7, 1992. On April 10, 1992, the Intervenor filed a
Revised Application. Respondent  filed a Supplemental Opposition to the Revised
Application on April 22, 1992 together with a revised affidavit and Revised Statement of
Time and Charges.2  The  Intervenor seeks $8,745 in attorney fees based on a total of
58.3 hours spent working on the case at an hourly rate of $150 per hour, and $17 in
costs.3 While not disputing the Intervenor's entitlement to attorney fees and costs,

    'On December 16, 1991, the Initial Decision and Order became final except for that part of the Initial
Decision and Order which declined to award a civil penalty. This issue was remanded by the Secretary on
December 13, 1991. The Initial Decision on Remand and Order became final on March 5, 1992.
    2Counsel for the Intervenor conducted this litigation together with counsel for HUD. In his revised
affidavit counsel for the Intervenor states that there were no duplicative pleadings, and that he coordinated
with HUD counsel to avoid duplication. He further states that he did the vast majority of pre-trial
preparation.


3Respondent does not dispute the claim for $17 in costs.
