Re:  Tariff Notice 77 – Support Structure service

Dear Madam:

On 10 October 2014, the Commission received an application by Amtelecom Limited Partnership, operating as EastLink (Amtelecom), under Tariff Notice 77 (TN 77), in which the company proposed revisions to its Support Structure service tariff to comply with the Commission’s directions in Telecom Decision 2014-389. The company submitted that its application was a Group A 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 A 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, Amtelecom is not to implement its tariff changes until a Commission order is issued to dispose of this application.

Sincerely,

Original signed by

Michel Murray
