Dear Mr. Owings:
Pursuant to Rule 461 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, FirstEnergy Corp. (the
“Company”) hereby requests acceleration of the effective date of its Registration Statement on Form
S-4 (File No. 333-165640) to July 16, 2010 at 2 p.m. Eastern Time or as soon thereafter as
practicable.
The Company hereby acknowledges that:
1.
should the Securities and Exchange Commission (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 Company from its
full responsibility for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the filing; and
3.
the Company 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.
If you have any questions, please call Zachary N. Wittenberg, Esq. of Akin Gump Strauss Hauer
