Application for Qualification of Indenture on Form T-3
Filed December 7, 2009
File No. 022-28921
Ladies and Gentlemen:
In accordance with Section 307 of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, and the rules
promulgated thereunder (the “Trust Indenture Act”), Century Aluminum Company (the
“Applicant”) hereby requests that the effectiveness of the Application for Qualification of
Indenture on Form T-3 (File No. 022-28921) (the “Application”) be accelerated so that it
becomes effective at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on December 9, 2009 or as soon thereafter as is
practicable.
As part of this Application, the Applicant acknowledges the following:
•
should the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the
“Commission”) or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, declare
the Application effective, it does not foreclose the Commission from taking any
action with respect to the Application;
•
the action of the Commission or its staff, acting pursuant to delegated
authority, in declaring the filing effective, does not relive the Company from its
full responsibility for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the
Application; and
•
the Applicant 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.
Please confirm that the Application has been declared effective by telephoning Michael Aklufi
of Jones Day at (212) 326-8392.
