Re: Request by l’Association des Compagnies de Téléphone du Québec inc. (ACTQ), the Ontario Telecommunications Association (OTA), and CityWest Telephone Corporation (CityWest) to stay Telecom Regulatory Policy 2011-291

Dear Mr. Désy and Mr. Holmes,

The Commission received a joint submission by the ACTQ, the OTA, and CityWest (collectively, ACTQ/OTA/CityWest), dated 15 July 2011, on behalf of 30 small incumbent local exchange carriers (small ILECs),[1] requesting that the Commission stay, on an urgent and expedited basis, the implementation of the certain Commission determinations and directives contained in Telecom Regulatory Policy CRTC 2011-291 (TRP 2011-291).[2]

Specifically, ACTQ/OTA/CityWest requested that the Commission stay the implementation of the small ILECs’ imputed rate increases, pursuant to paragraph 122 of TRP 2011-291. ACTQ/OTA/CityWest further requested that the Commission respond to their stay request by no later than 21 July 2011, given that imputed rate increases are to take effect no later than 1 August 2011.

The Commission is in the process of reviewing the application and will advise you of the result at the earliest available opportunity.

Sincerely,

Original signed by:

John Traversy
Executive Director
