Dear Mr. Connolly:

Re:   TCC Tariff Notice 254 and 254A

On 11 April and 13 April 2007, the Commission received applications by TELUS Communications Company (TCC), under cover of Tariff Notices 254 and 254/A proposing to introduce to General Tariff Item 211 - Forborne Residential Local Exchange Services.   TCC noted that Item 211 listed all of the company's existing Residential tariffs that fall within the definition of local exchange services as set out in Forbearance from the regulation of retail local exchange services, Telecom Decision CRTC 2006-15, 6 April 2006.

On 11 April 2007 TCC filed applications for forbearance from the regulation of residential local exchange services in Vancouver, West Vancouver, North Vancouver, Richmond, New Westminster, Newton and Whalley, British Columbia and in Edmonton, Alberta.   On 13 April 2007 TCC filed applications for forbearance in Calgary, Alberta and Victoria, British Columbia.

Pursuant to Order Varying Telecom Decision CRTC 2006-15, P.C. 2007-0532, 4 April 2007, the Commission is required to dispose of these applications within 120 days after the date on which the application is received.  

The Commission is currently analyzing TCC's forbearance applications. In light of this, the Commission will be unable to dispose of the above-noted tariff applications within 10 business days.   The Commission expects to issue a decision on TCC's proposed tariff revisions in conjunction with its decisions on TCC's local forbearance applications.

Yours sincerely,

'Original signed by S. Bédard'
