Dear Sir:
Re: Part VII Application requesting that the Commission extend the current regulatory framework as set out in Telecom Decision CRTC 2007-5
On 23 December 2009, the Commission received a Part VII application by Northwestel Inc. requesting that the Commission extend the current regulatory framework as set out in Telecom Decision CRTC 2007-5, for at least another two years.
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 the applicable service standard.
Commission staff has assessed the above application and considers it to be a Type 1 application. Accordingly, it is expected that the Commission will issue interim or final determinations within 4 months of the close-of-record.
Yours sincerely,
(Original signed by John Macri)
