Re: Tariff Notice 65 – Support structures-strand equipment
Dear Sir,
On 28 October 2014, the Commission received the above-mentioned tariff notice submitted by Groupe Maskatel LP (Maskatel) proposing the addition of information relating to its strand equipment to section 2.8.2 of its General Tariff. Maskatel submitted that it was in follow-up to the Commission’s letter of 10 September 2014 (regarding the requirements relating to Telecom Decision 2014-389). The company indicated that its application was filed as a Group B retail tariff filing under 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 this application does not meet the definition of Group B retail tariff filings as indicated in Information Bulletin 2010-455, as it does not deal with services provided to retail customers, but with services that would be provided only to competitors. For purposes of 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:
- Interested parties may file interventions within 30 calendar days of the filing date of an application; and
- the applicant may file reply comments within 10 calendar days of the deadline for filing interventions.
The company is therefore not to implement its proposed tariff until a Commission order is issued disposing of this application.
Sincerely,
Original signed by
Michel Murray
