RE: Tariff Notice 474 ‒ Support Structure Service

Dear Sir:

On 21 March, 2014, the Commission received an application by TELUS Communications Company (TCC), under Tariff Notice 474 (TN 474), in which the company proposed revisions to its Support Structure Service tariff pursuant to the Commission’s determinations in Telecom Decision CRTC 2014-77. The company submitted that its application was a Group B retail tariff filing as described in 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).

Commission staff considers that the application does not meet the definition of a Group B retail tariff filing as described in Information Bulletin 2010-455 because it does not deal with services provided to retail customers, but with services that would be provided only to competitors. For efficiency, the Commission will process this application as a Competitor tariff filing rather than close the file and require the company to re-file it as a new application.

Accordingly, the application will follow the procedures described in Information Bulletin 2010 455 for Competitor tariffs, which include the following deadlines:

• Interested parties may file interventions within 30 calendar days of the filing date of the application; and

• The applicant may file reply comments within 10 calendar days of the deadline for filing interventions.

Consequently, TCC is not to implement its proposed tariff/tariff changes until a Commission order is issued to dispose of this application.

Sincerely,

Original signed by

Michel Murray
