Dear Mr. Dobbie:
On May 28, 2010, Farmers National Banc Corp. (“Farmers”), filed a Registration Statement
on Form S-1 (Registration No. 333-167177) (the “Registration Statement”),with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), which was subsequently amended on October 12, 2010,
November 15, 2010, November 23, 2010, December 12, 2010 and December 17, 2010, relative to its
proposed rights offering. Pursuant to Rule 461 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
“Securities Act”), Farmers respectfully requests that the effectiveness of the Registration
Statement be accelerated to Monday, December 20, 2010, at 3:30 p.m., Eastern Time, or as soon
thereafter as practicable.
By this letter, the Farmers acknowledges that:
•
should the Commission or the Staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, declare the
filing effective, it does not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect
to the filing;
•
the action of the Commission or the Staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, in
declaring the filing effective, does not relieve Farmers from its full responsibility for
the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the filing;
•
Farmers 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.
Sincerely,
/s/ John S. Gulas
President and Chief Executive Officer
Farmers National Banc Corp.
