RE: Part VII Application requesting a revision to Northwestel's payphone local cash call rate

 

Dear Mr. Yeulett:

 

 

On 22 May 2009, the Commission received a Part VII application by Northwestel Inc.

 

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 of 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,
