Obligation relating to the electronic filing of applications and use of Commission forms
This information bulletin updates Broadcasting and Telecom Information Bulletin 2010-453 to reflect the change from the use of Epass to the use of Access Key to file applications with the Commission. The Access Key service came into effect on 12 November 2010.
1. Broadcasting and Telecom Information Bulletin 2010-453 was originally published on 5 July 2010 to update the requirement relating to the electronic filing of applications with the Commission set out in Broadcasting Circular 2005-466 and Telecom Circular 2007-16. This requirement is now included in section 13(1)(a) the new Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission Rules of Practice and Procedure (the Rules of Procedure), which become effective 1 April 2011.
2. Applicants must file their broadcasting and telecommunications applications and all related documents in electronic form using Access Key. This service allows secure transmissions to the Commission and authenticates the applicant’s identity when filing information. Access Key also ensures that messages or documents transmitted online are not altered.
3. For instructions on how to file applications using Access Key, consult the Commission’s website.
4. Applicants who are unable to file their applications using Access Key should contact the Commission at 1-877-249-CRTC (2782).
5. Section 22(2) of the Rules of Procedure stipulates that applicants must use the Commission’s application forms when they submit an application to the Commission. The list of application forms is appended to this information bulletin. Section 22(2) also specifies the information that should be filed with the Commission in the absence of an application form.
6. Application forms will be updated to reflect any new policy or regulatory requirements. The Commission therefore expects applicants to use the most recent application forms, which are available on the Commission’s website.
Confidential documents
7. Access Key allows applicants to file, at the same time and on a secure basis, both confidential and abridged public versions of their applications and any supporting documentation.
8. Applicants must ensure that documents that they designate as confidential are submitted in a separate electronic file and must incorporate confidential in the name of the file. It is incumbent upon applicants to clearly identify the confidential documents by indicating confidential on each page and, in such cases, to file an abridged version of the document.
