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. Given the specific relief sought by the applicant, Commission staff considers the above application to be a Type 1 application. It is expected that the Commission will issue interim or final determinations within 4 months from the close-of-record.
