RE: Tariff Notice 301# – Tariff Notice 301- Reclassification of Group B TN application to Competitor TN

Dear Sir:

On 20 August 2014, the Commission received an application by Saskatchewan Telecommmunications (Sasktel), under Tariff Notice 301 (TN 301), in which the company proposed to revise its Competitor Access Tariff CRTC 21414, Item 650.16 Support Structure Service. The company submitted that its application was a Group B retail tariff filing as described inApproval 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:

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

Sincerely,

Original signed by

Lyne Renaud
Director, Costing and Competitor Services
