In accordance with the 2019 Policy Direction,^{Footnote 1} the Commission considers that this order, which is based on a complete record, can promote competition, affordability, consumer interests, and innovation. Specifically, the approval of this application will promote affordability, lower prices and consumer interests, since it (i) allows for the expansion of local calling areas so that residential consumers and businesses will no longer have to pay long distance charges within these new local calling areas, and (ii) will ensure that consumers have access to high quality telecommunications services as a result of the service change.
4. Revised tariff pages are to be issued within 10 calendar days of the date of this order. Revised tariff pages can be submitted to the Commission without a description page or a request for approval; a tariff application is not required.
