Dear Mr. Brazeau:

Re:   Part VII Application by Shaw Cablesystems Limited seeking access to highways and other public places within the jurisdiction of the District of Maple Ridge

On 30 March 2007, the Commission received a Part VII application by Shaw Cablesystems Limited seeking access to highways and other public places within the jurisdiction of the District of Maple Ridge, British Columbia.

In Service standards for the disposition of telecommunications applications , Telecom Circular CRTC 2006-11, 7 December 2006 , the Commission stated that it would categorize Part VII applications into two types: Type 1 applications that generally do not involve multiple parties or raise significant policy issues and Type 2 applications that do involve multiple parties and/or raise significant policy issues

The Commission also adopted the following service standards for Part VII applications:

  •   Type 1 Part VII applications - 90 percent of determinations to be issued on an interim or final basis within four months of the close-of-record; and
  •   Type 2 Part VII applications - 85 percent of determinations to be issued on an interim or final basis within eight months of the close-of-record.

The Commission stated that it would inform applicants, by letter, within 10 days of the end of the comment period for applications, whether the application is considered to be a Type 1 or Type 2 application, and the applicable service standard.

Commission staff has assessed the above application and considers it to be a Type 1 application.   Accordingly, the Commission expects to issue an interim or final determination within 4 months of the close-of-record.

Yours sincerely,

'Original signed by L. Fancy'
