Registration Statement on Form F-4 (File No. 333-165531)
Ladies and Gentlemen:
James Hardie Industries SE (the “Company”) respectfully requests, pursuant to Rule 461 of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, that the effective date of the Registration Statement on Form
F-4, as amended, referenced above, filed on April 13, 2010, be accelerated by the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) to 4:00 p.m. (Eastern Daylight Time) on Wednesday, April 21,
2010, or as soon as practicable thereafter.
The Company hereby 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 the Company
from its full responsibility for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure
in the filing; and
•
the Company may not assert 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 Company respectfully requests that it be notified of such effectiveness by a telephone
call to the Company’s counsel, Michael Gizang of Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP, at (212)
735-2704 and that such effectiveness also be confirmed in writing.
Very truly yours,
JAMES HARDIE INDUSTRIES SE
