Re: General Tariff Update #387

Dear Mr. Reirson,

Commission staff are in receipt of General Tariff Update #387, dated 7 March 2013, in which TELUS Communications Company (TCC) proposed to issue new tariff pages reflecting the Commission’s determinations in Telecom Decision CRTC 2011-406, Follow-up to Telecom Decision 2010-900 - Service pole rate and markup issues, 4 July 2011 (Telecom Decision 2011-406).

Staff considers that in Telecom Decision 2011-406 the Commission did not explicitly waive the normal tariff approval process with regard to the charging of pole rental rates for service poles. Accordingly, staff is returning General Tariff Update #387 and requests that TCC file a tariff notice requesting Commission approval for the proposed changes.
The tariff application should provide details regarding TCC’s proposed treatment of the implementation issues that were raised in the proceeding that led to Telecom Decision 2011-406.

If you have any questions regarding this issue, please contact Patrick Owens of my staff at (819) 953-7159 or at patrick.owens@crtc.gc.ca .

Yours sincerely,
