Re:  Application concerning Deflation Impacts on Price Cap Mechanics

On 17 November 2009, the Commission received a Part VII application by Bell Aliant Regional Communications, Limited Partnership, BellCanada and Télébec, Limited Partnership.

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.  The Commission expects to issue an interim or final determination by the end of March 2010.

Yours sincerely,
