Re:  Application to review and vary Telecom Regulatory Policy 2009-243

 

On 24 July 2009, the Commission received a Part VII application by Bell Aliant Regional Communications, Limited Partnership, Bell Canada and Télébec, Société en commandite.

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:

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,
