CANADIAN RADIO-TELEVISION AND TELECOMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

PUBLIC NOTICE 2000-111

Call for comments on proposed amendments to CRTC Rules of Procedure

The CRTC Rules of Procedure (the Rules) now specify that a notice of an application for which the Commission proposes to hold a public hearing must be published in the Canada Gazette not less than 50 days before the date fixed for the public hearing to begin. The Commission is calling for comments on a proposal to amend the Rules to reduce this minimum notice period from 50 to 30 days. This shorter period would give the Commission more flexibility in dealing with applications in certain circumstances. Information about how to submit a comment on this matter is set out at the end of this notice.

Section 19 of the Broadcasting Act (the Act) requires the Commission to publish a notice of any application for the issue, amendment or renewal of a licence (other than a licence to carry on a temporary network operation), and to publish a notice of any public hearing required to be held under section 18 of the Act. The Act does not, in either case, prescribe a minimum notice period.

Subparagraph 4(2)(b)(i) of the Rules provides that the notice of an application for which the Commission proposes to hold a public hearing, shall be published in the Canada Gazette not less than 50 days before the day fixed for the commencement of the public hearing.

This 50-day minimum publication period is appropriate in many cases. In other cases, however, it has limited the flexibility and planning ability of the Commission. For example, this has been the case particularly with respect to applications for which appearance at an oral hearing is not required and for some ownership changes.

Accordingly, the Commission sees benefit in reducing the minimum publication period prescribed in the Rules from 50 to 30 days.

The change to a 30-day minimum publication period in the Rules would not prevent the Commission from providing a 50-day or longer publication period in the many cases where it is warranted by the particular application. In such cases, this longer period is required for the Commission, the applicant and interveners to adequately prepare for the hearing.

However, a change to a shorter minimum prescribed publication period would enable the Commission to more closely tailor the notice period to the factors surrounding a particular application.

Accordingly, the Commission proposes to amend paragraph 4(2)(b) of the Rules by replacing the current text, which provides for a 50-day minimum publication period, with a 30-day minimum period, as set out in the appendix to this notice.

Three consequential changes to the Rules are also necessary in light of the proposed shortening of the minimum publication period. Accordingly, the Commission also proposes:

(1) to amend section 5 to require that the broadcast by the licensee of a notice of a public hearing take place by the 20th day before the hearing when the notice period is less than 50 days, but remain as it is now, that is by the 40th day before the hearing, when the notice period is 50 days or more;

(2) to amend section 7, to specify that the Commission will not consider or deal with an application until 30 days have elapsed from the day on which notice has been published; and

(3) to amend section 15, to require interventions to be filed and served at least 15 days before the day fixed for the commencement of the public hearing when the notice period is less than 40 days, but to remain at the current 20 days before the hearing when the notice period is 40 days or more.

These consequential proposed amendments are set out in the appendix to this notice.

Call for comments

The Commission invites written comments on the proposed amendments to the Rules appended to this notice. The Commission will accept comments that it receives on or before September 5, 2000.

The Commission will not formally acknowledge written comments. It will, however, fully consider all comments and they will form part of the public record of the proceeding, provided that the procedures for filing set out below have been followed.
