Subject: Part VII Application in the matter of Decision 2002-14

In a letter dated 30 April 2002, AT&T Canada Corp. (AT&T) requested the Commission order the Incumbent Local Exchange Carriers (ILECs) to comply in full with Incumbent local exchange carrier service intervals for unbundled local loop orders, Telecom Decision CRTC 2002-14 (Decision 2002-14).

AT&T proposed that, pursuant to section 28 of the CRTC Telecommunication Rules of Procedure ("the Rules") as an exception to the Part VII process, the Commission should deal with this application on an ex parte basis.

As indicated in its covering letter, and confirmed with the company by telephone, although it requested that this application be treated on an ex parte basis, AT&T copied interested parties with its application as a courtesy.

AT&T's application raises serious issues with respect to compliance with

Decision 2002-14. In order to assist the Commission to dispose of these issues, it is considered that it would be more efficient and fair to allow parties to comment on the application. Accordingly, the application will not be disposed of on an ex parte basis. Rather, in the circumstances, an expedited process would be more appropriate.

Accordingly, interested parties may file comments with the Commission, serving copies on all other parties by 9 May 2002. AT&T may file reply comments, serving copies on all parties, by 14 May 2002.

Where a document is to be filed or served by a specific date, it is requested that the document be actually received, and not merely sent, by that date.

Yours sincerely,
