Subject: Rogers Request for Extension – Rogers Canada-wide service outage of July 2022 – Disclosure of information designated as confidential
Howerd Slawner,
This letter is in response to your letter of 24 February 2023, in which Rogers Communications Canada Inc. (Rogers) requests a one-week extension to the 1 March 2023 deadline for filing abridged versions of its five appendices, as well as another amended abridged response including the information requested in Commission staff’s letter dated 22 February 2023.
You noted that the five appendices contain significant amount of sensitive information and Rogers’ network and legal teams need to carefully review the information contained in these appendices to prepare abridged versions of these appendices. In addition, the same team will be working to assess and prepare Rogers’ response by 3 March 2023 regarding the interim service outage reporting requirement. In light of these circumstances, Commission staff considers that a one week extension as requested by Rogers is reasonable. Accordingly, the process set out in Commission staff’s letter dated 22 February 2023 is amended as follows:
Process
To provide interested persons with sufficient time to comment on these documents, Commission staff establish the following additional process:
- Rogers is to file abridged versions of its five appendices, as well as another amended abridged response including the information requested in this letter, serving a copy on all parties that have already requested additional disclosure, by 8 March 2023.
- Any interested person may request additional disclosure of information designated by Rogers as confidential in its abridged appendices or its response to Questions 2 and 18 of the second RFI, serving a copy on Rogers, by 15 March 2023. A person requesting disclosure must provide reasons as well as any supporting documents for why the disclosure would be in the public interest, including how the information is relevant to the Commission’s regulatory responsibilities.
- Rogers may respond to any requests for additional disclosure, serving a copy to all who have requested additional disclosures thus far, by 22 March 2023.
All documents filed and served must be received, not merely sent, by the date provided. Parties are to send an electronic copy of all documents to Commission staff copied on this letter.
The Commission requires the response or other documents to be submitted electronically by using the secured service “My CRTC Account” (Partner Log In or GCKey).
A copy of this letter and all related correspondence will be added to the public record of the proceeding.
Yours Sincerely,
Sincerely,
