RE:  Establishment of a regulatory framework for next-generation 9-1-1 in Canada, Telecom Notice of Consultation CRTC 2016-116 - Request for extension

By letter dated 4 April 2016, Bell Canada (Bell) requested an extension to 29 May 2016 to respond to requests for information set out in a Commission staff letter dated 29 March 2016.  Bell also requested an extension to 20 June 2016 to provide initial interventions regarding Telecom Notice of Consultation CRTC 2016-116.  Bell cited the overlap with the proceeding and oral hearing regarding the Review of basic telecommunications services, Telecom Notice of Consultation 2015-134, currently being held by the Commission as the main reason for the requested extension.

TELUS, by letter dated 5 April 2016, Sasktel, by letter dated 6 April 2016, the Toronto Police on behalf of a number of public safety answering points (PSAPs),Footnote 1 by letter dated 8 April 2016, MTS, by letter dated 8 April, and the city of Lethbridge, by letter dated 8 April 2016, expressed their support for the request made by Bell.

On 25 June 2014 the Commission published its intention to launch a proceeding to review the telecommunications regulatory framework for next-generation 9-1-1 in early 2016.Footnote 2 Commission staff therefore considers that the timing of the next-generation 9-1-1 regulatory framework proceeding has been known for a significant period of time and as such internal resources should have been assigned appropriately.

However, Commission staff recognizes the overlap between this proceeding and the oral hearing related to Telecom Notice of Consultation 2015-134 and considers that an extension to the deadlines for submission of responses to requests for information is appropriate.

Incumbent local exchange carriers (ILECs), small ILECs, and the PSAPs identified in the Commission staff letter dated 29 March 2016 will now have until 9 May 2016 to file their responses to the requests for information.  Initial interventions related to Notice of Consultation 2016-116 remain unchanged and are due 20 May 2016.

Yours sincerely,
