Dear Mr. Connolly:

Re: TCC Tariff Notice 266

On 15 June 2007, the Commission received an application by TELUS Communications Company (TCC), under cover of Tariff Notice 266 proposing to introduce to General Tariff Item 212 - Forborne Business Local Exchange Services.   TCC noted that Item 212 listed all of the company's existing Business 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 15 June 2007 TCC filed applications for forbearance from the regulation of business local exchange services in various exchanges in British Columbia and Alberta.    

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 C. Bailey'
