Amendment No. 2 to Registration Statement on Form SB-2
No. 333-129261
Request for Acceleration of Effectiveness
------------------------------------------------------
Dear Mr. Zimmerman:
Pursuant to Rule 461 under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, Touchstone Applied Science Associates, Inc. (the
"Registrant") hereby respectfully requests that the
effectiveness of the above-referenced Registration Statement be
accelerated to 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on December 13, 2005, or
as soon thereafter as practicable.
With respect to the Registrant's request for acceleration
of the effective date of the Registration Statement, please be
advised that the Registrant acknowledges that:
(1) 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;
(2) the action of the Commission or the Staff, acting
pursuant to delegated authority, in declaring the filing
effective does not relieve the Registrant from its full
responsibility for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure
in the filing; and
(3) the Registrant may not assert this action as a defense
in any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person
under the federal securities laws of the United States.
Very truly yours,
TOUCHSTONE APPLIED SCIENCE
