RE: Tariff Notice 933 and 473 – Support Structure Service

Dear Sir:

On 25 August 2014, the Commission received an application from Bell Aliant, Bell Canada and Télébec requesting approval for proposed revisions to their Support Structure tariffs, namely the National Services Tariff - Item 901 and Télébec General Tariff - Chapter 10.3.

The Commission requires clarification on some issues and therefore requests that the above parties respond to the attached interrogatories by 12 September 2014, serving a copy on all other parties.

Parties to the proceeding may comment on the responses to these interrogatories by 19 September 2014, serving a copy on all other parties. Bell Aliant, Bell Canada and Télébec may reply to those comments by 26 September 2014, serving a copy on all parties.

Where a document is to be filed or served by a specific date, the document must be actually received, not merely sent by that date.

Copies of the responses should be sent to marc.pilon@crtc.gc.ca

Sincerely,

Original signed by

Lyne Renaud
