Information bulletin |

Applications processed pursuant to streamlined procedures |
|
| In this public notice, the Commission sets out a list of applications that did not require a public process and that it processed during the period 1 September 2008 to 31 October 2008 pursuant to its streamlined procedures. These applications involve amendments or extensions of deadlines. During this period, the Commission did not process any applications involving transfers of ownership and changes in the effective control of broadcasting undertakings. | |
1. |
The Commission has streamlined procedures for its consideration of applications that involve transfers of ownership and changes in the effective control of broadcasting undertakings, amendments or extensions of deadlines, and that do not require a public process.1 Under these procedures, and on a case-by-case basis, the Commission may approve or deny such an application without first having issued a public notice provided that: |
a) its examination of the application reveals no significant policy concern; and |
|
b) the Commission is convinced that approval or denial would be consistent with its approvals or denials of previous applications. |
|
2. |
Where these two conditions are met, the Commission is generally satisfied that a process initiated by a public notice is not required in the public interest and would unnecessarily delay implementation of the transaction contemplated or of other proposals by the applicant. |
3. |
In the appendix to this public notice, the Commission sets out a list of applications that did not require a public process and that it processed during the period 1 September 2008 to 31 October 2008 pursuant to its streamlined procedures. These applications involve amendments or extensions of deadlines. During this period, the Commission did not process any applications involving transfers of ownership and changes in the effective control of broadcasting undertakings pursuant to its streamlined procedures. |
