Re:  Request for extension in the network interconnection proceeding - Telecom Notice of Consultation 2011-206

The Commission is in receipt of a letter dated 5 August 2011 from Cogeco Câble inc. (Cogeco) regarding the network interconnection proceeding.  In its letter, Cogeco requested an extension to the date by which parties to the proceeding are to file, with the Commission, responses to requests for information.

In support of its request, Cogeco stated that its key resources required to complete this task are very limited and most of them have been involved over the past two months in several regulatory proceedings, and that assembling the information and expertise has posed a significant challenge.  Cogeco requested that the filing date be extended by seven (7) days to 19 August 2011.

The Commission is also in receipt of a letter dated 8 August 2011 from TELUS Communications Company (TCC).  TCC stated that it supports Cogeco’s and also requested a seven day extension from the current filing date of 12 August 2011 to 19 August 2011.

Commission staff notes that, if the requests for an extension were to be granted, procedural dates related to requests for further responses to interrogatories and requests for public disclosure of information designated as confidential would also be impacted.

After careful consideration, Commission staff considers it appropriate to modify the procedural dates set out in paragraphs 29 through 32 of Telecom Notice of Consultation 2011-206, as set out below:

29. Responses to requests for information from other parties or the Commission are to be filed with the Commission and served on all parties by 19 August 2011.

30. Requests by parties for further responses to interrogatories posed in their request for information, specifying in each case why a further response is both relevant and necessary, and requests for public disclosure of information that has been designated confidential, setting out in each case the reasons for disclosure, must be filed with the Commission and served on the relevant party or parties by 31 August 2011.

31. Written responses to requests for further responses to interrogatories and for public disclosure must be filed with the Commission and served on the party or parties making the request by 8 September 2011.

32. Determinations will be issued regarding requests for further information and public disclosure as soon as possible. Any information to be provided pursuant to such determinations must be filed with the Commission and served on all parties by 23 September 2011.

Yours sincerely,
