RE: Tariff Notice 58 – Housekeeping changes
Dear Sir:
On 15 February 2013, the Commission received an application by Mornington Communications Co-operative Limited (Mornington), under Tariff Notice 58 (TN 58), in which the company proposed housekeeping changes to General Tariff items 510.3 and 520.3 to correct cross references to its residential primary exchange service rate in the rate tables for its Home Bundle – Basic and Home Bundle – Enhanced, respectively. The company also included revisions to Section 50 of its General Tariff – Check Pages. Mornington filed its current application as a Group A tariff filing, with an effective date of 15 February 2013.
Commission staff notes that in addition to correcting the cross-references noted above, Mornington has increased the rates for the two bundles, under the heading “Proposed Bundled Rate.” While Mornington may update its tariff pages to correct cross-references via a Group A tariff filing, increases to rates for bundles do not meet the criteria for a Group A filing. Staff also notes that there appears to be a typographical error in a notation on the revised check page.
Commission staff notes that paragraph 22(2) of the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission Rules of Practice and Procedure (the Rules of Procedure) sets out the information that applicants must include in their applications and that paragraph 59 of the Rules of Procedure specifies the procedural requirements established for the approval of a tariff or an agreement. Paragraph 8 of the Rules of Procedure provides that the Commission may return an application or close a file that does not meet these requirements. Commission staff also notes that pursuant to Approval processes for tariff applications and intercarrier agreements, Telecom Information Bulletin CRTC 2010-455, 5 July 2010, as amended from time to time (Information Bulletin 2010-455) the applicant is required to file a Group B application when it proposes rates that do not comply with the Group A criteria.
Because Mornington’s application does not comply with the Commission requirements for tariff applications as described in Information Bulletin 2010-455, this file is closed. Mornington may submit a new application addressing the above-mentioned concerns. The application must be presented in the form of a new tariff notice.
Yours sincerely,
