Dear Mr. Gilbert:
Re: Part VII Forbearance Inside Wire Services
On 5 August 2010, the Commission received a Part VII application by NorthernTel, 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:
- 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 four months of the close-of-record.
Yours sincerely,
