Dear Mr. Romaniuk:
RE: Tariff Notices TCBC 4315 and TCI 0613
The Commission has received the above-mentioned tariff notices dated 9 February 2009, submitted by Telus Communications Company (the company) as Group A filings under Approval mechanisms for retail and CLEC tariffs, Telecom Decision 2008-74.
Commission staff considers that these tariff notices do not meet the definitions of Group A filings as indicated in Appendix 1 of Decision 2008-74. In particular, they do not meet part (c) of the definitions of Group A filings in that they are not “updates to tariff pages to incorporate forborne exchanges or routes, consistent with Commission forbearance decisions” [emphasis added].
For purposes of efficiency, the Commission will process these tariff notices as Group B filings rather than close the file and require the company to refile its tariff notices. The company is to issue revised tariff pages with an effective date no earlier than 24 February 2009, which is 15 days from the date the tariff notices were filed. At the same time, the company is not to implement these tariff notices until then.
Yours sincerely,
Original signed by
