Telecom Order

Ottawa, 10 December 1997
Telecom Order CRTC 97-1816
On 10 November 1997, BC TEL filed an ex parte application under Tariff Notice (TN) 3723, amended by TN 3723A dated 18 November 1997, for approval of tariff revisions.
File No.: Tariff Notice 3723
1. As an exception to the ex parte procedure established in Review of Regulatory Framework, Telecom Decision CRTC 94-19, 16 September 1994, BC TEL has requested that the application not be placed on the public record until the effective date of the proposed offering, due to the competitive harm that could result if the information was released prior to that date.
2. Having considered BC TEL's submissions, the Commission is of the view that the specific direct harm to the company outweighs the public interest in disclosure of the filing prior to the date that the proposed tariff revisions would become effective.
3. In light of the foregoing, the Commission orders that:
The proposed tariff revisions are approved on an interim basis. BC TEL is to notify the Commission of the effective date of the tariff revisions within 30 days of this Order. The company is directed to provide a copy of the application for the public record in all relevant public examination rooms on the effective date.
