Ladies and Gentlemen:
Pursuant to Rule 461 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), LSB Industries, Inc. (the “Issuer”) and the Issuer’s subsidiaries identified as Additional Registrant Guarantors on the facing page of the above-referenced Registration Statement (such subsidiaries together with the Issuer, the “Registrants”) hereby request acceleration of the effective date of the Registration Statement so that it may become effective at 5:00 p.m., Eastern time, on Monday, May 5, 2014, or as soon thereafter as practicable.
The Registrants hereby acknowledge that:
(a) should the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, declare the Registration Statement effective, it does not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to the Registration Statement;
(b) the action of the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, in declaring the Registration Statement effective, does not relieve the Registrants from their full responsibility for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the Registration Statement; and
(c) the Registrants may not assert staff comments and the declaration of effectiveness as a defense in any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the federal securities laws of the United States.
The Registration Statement relates to the Registrants’ offer to exchange (the “Exchange Offer”) the Issuer’s 7.75% Senior Secured Notes due 2019 (the “Old Notes”), which were issued on August 7, 2013, pursuant to Regulation S and Rule 144A under the Securities Act for new notes with terms materially identical to the Old Notes
