Re: Part VII Application to Review and Vary Telecom Order CRTC 2008-305
Dear Mr. Bibic:
On 1 December 2008, the Commission received a Part VIII application by Bell Aliant Regional Communications, Limited Partnership and Bell Canada (the Companies).
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-records; 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
Suzanne Bédard
