In Regulatory framework for the small incumbent telephone companies, Decision CRTC 2001-756, 14 December 2001 (Decision 2001-756), the Commission assigned the services in question to the fourth service basket. In that decision, the Commission determined that the fourth service basket comprises all other services (not in baskets 1, 2 and 3) offered by the small incumbent local exchange carriers, such as optional services, multi-element service categories, special facilities tariffs and competitor access tariffs. The Commission also determined that: (a) rates for these services would be permitted to increase up to an already approved rate for the same service; (b) tariff applications may be submitted at any time and should reference when and where the Commission approved the rate; and (c) for rate increases that go beyond an already approved rate, an economic study must accompany the application.

4.

The Commission notes that the proposed rates are equal to or less than rates already approved for similar services provided by other companies.

5.

The Commission approves North Frontenac's application. The revisions take effect as of the date of this Order.

6.

North Frontenac is to issue revised tariff pages forthwith to reflect these changes.
