RE: Establishment of a regulatory framework for next-generation 9-1-1 in Canada, Telecom Notice of Consultation CRTC 2016-116 – Filing information in confidence

By letter dated 29 March 2016, Commission staff requested information from incumbent local exchange carriers (ILECs), small ILECs, and public safety answering points (PSAPs).

This letter made reference to section 39 of the Telecommunication Act and Broadcasting and Telecom Information Bulletin CRTC 2010-961, Procedures for filing confidential information and requesting its disclosure in Commission proceedings.

Parties are reminded that in an effort to conduct proceedings that are as transparent as possible, the responses provided should generally be disclosed on the public record.  There are, however, certain circumstances in which some information is sensitive and must be kept confidential. As set out in section 39(1) of the Telecommunications Act, the following may be designated confidential:

1. information that is a trade secret;
2. financial, commercial, scientific or technical information that is confidential and that is treated consistently in a confidential manner by the person who submitted it; or
3. information the disclosure of which could reasonably be expected
   1. to result in material financial loss or gain to any person,
   2. to prejudice the competitive position of any person, or
   3. to affect contractual or other negotiations of any person.

A person designating information as confidential must provide a detailed explanation as to why the designated information is confidential and why its disclosure would not be in the public interest, including why the specific direct harm that would be likely to result from the disclosure would outweigh the public interest in disclosure.  Furthermore, a person designating information as confidential must either file an abridged version of the document omitting only the information designated as confidential or provide reasons why an abridged version cannot be filed.

Parties are also reminded that by letter dated 12 April 2016, Commission staff granted an extension to the deadline for the submission of responses to these requests for information.  Parties now have until 9 May 2016 to file their responses with the Commission.  Initial interventions related to the issues examined in Notice of Consultation 2016-116 are due 20 May 2016.

Yours sincerely,
