The Commission is in receipt of the 25 July 2011 responses to requests for information filed by Bell Aliant Regional Communications, Limited Partnership (Bell Aliant) on 2 September 2011 and 16 September 2011.

In light of the responses provided, Commission staff considers that it is necessary to further clarify certain assumptions used by Bell Aliant to develop the proposed prospective incremental copper cable capital costs included in its cost submission.  Accordingly, Bell Aliant is to provide responses to the attached requests for information, serving a copy on all interveners, by 21 October 2011.
