Subject:  Incremental Cost Model and Proposed Subscription Rates for the National DNCL System

Dear Mr. Rowe:

On 1 September 2010, the Commission approved Bell Canada’s last proposed rates for subscriptions to the National Do Not Call List (DNCL).

On 22 July 2011, Bell Canada submitted an update to its prospective incremental cost model and a proposal for a subscription rate increase for Commission approval.

The Commission has reviewed the information provided by Bell Canada and approves this proposal, in part. Specifically, the Commission finds that the proposed rate increase for the annual, full-list (all Numbering Plan Areas) subscription to the National DNCL is reasonable. The incremental cost model and any further subscription rate increases will be addressed at a later date.

In light of the above, the Commission approves Bell Canada's proposed rates for subscriptions to the National DNCL. The approved revised rate, along with the current rates for all other subscription types, is shown in the Attachment to this letter. The rates are effective as of 1 September 2011.

Sincerely,

Robert A. Morin
Secretary General
