Re: Request to eliminate the requirement to pass the Price Floor Test for non-recurring charges associated with residential local exchange services

Dear Sirs:

On 27 June 2013, the Commission received an application from Bell Aliant Regional Communications, Limited Partnership and Bell Canada (collectively, the Companies) requesting that the Commission eliminate the requirement to pass the Price Floor Test when implementing uniform prices that apply province-wide across their combined serving areas in Ontario and Québec for non-recurring charges associated with residential local exchange services, including Residential Service Connection and Order Processing charges.

Commission staff has reviewed the information on the record and determined that additional information is required. Accordingly, the Companies are to file their response to the Commission's request for information attached to this letter by 31 July 2013.

Any interested party that wishes to file an intervention with respect to the responses to the attached request for information can do it as part of their intervention to the application.

As set out in Broadcasting and Telecom Information Bulletin 2010-961, Procedures for filing confidential information and requesting its disclosure in Commission proceedings, the Companies may designate certain information as confidential. The Companies must provide an abridged version of the document involved, accompanied by a note explaining how the information removed is confidential.

All submissions are to be made in accordance with the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission Rules of Practice and Procedure, SOR/2010-277.

Yours truly,
