RE: Superior Essex Inc.
Registration Statement on Form S-3
File No. 333-124577
Filed: May 3, 2005
Dear Ms. Blackford:
This is to advise you that we reviewed only those portions of
the above filing that relate to the guarantee of the debt
securities
being offered. We have the following comment in that regard. No
further review of the filing has been or will be made. All
persons
who are by statute responsible for the adequacy and accuracy of
the
registration statement are urged to be certain that all
information
required pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933 has been included.
You are also reminded to consider applicable requirements
regarding
distribution of the preliminary prospectus.
Please understand that the purpose of our review process is
to
assist you in your compliance with the applicable disclosure
requirements and to enhance the overall disclosure in your filing.
We look forward to working with you in these respects. We welcome
any questions you may have about our comment or on any other
aspect
of our review. Feel free to call us at the telephone numbers
listed
at the end of this letter.
Legal Opinion
1. Because this registration statement must register the
guarantees
of the debt securities as separate securities along with the
primary
debt, please revise your opinion to address these guarantees.
Closing Comments
As appropriate, please amend your registration statement in
response to these comments. You may wish to provide us with
marked
copies of the amendment to expedite our review. Please furnish a
cover letter that is filed on EDGAR with your amendment that keys
your responses to our comments and provides any requested
supplemental information. Detailed cover letters greatly
facilitate
our review. Please understand that we may have additional
comments
after reviewing your amendment and responses to our comments.
We urge all persons who are responsible for the accuracy and
adequacy of the disclosure in the filings reviewed by the staff to
be
certain that they have provided all information investors require
for
an informed decision. Since the company and its management are in
possession of all facts relating to a company`s disclosure, they
are
responsible for the accuracy and adequacy of the disclosures they
have made.
Notwithstanding our comments, in the event the company
requests
acceleration of the effective date of the pending registration
statement, it should furnish a letter, at the time of such
request,
acknowledging 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 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.
In addition, please be advised that the Division of
Enforcement
has access to all information you provide to the staff of the
Division of Corporation Finance in connection with our review of
your
filing or in response to our comments on your filing.
We will consider a written request for acceleration of the
effective date of the registration statement as a confirmation of
the
fact that those requesting acceleration are aware of their
respective
responsibilities under the Securities Act of 1933 and the
Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 as they relate to the proposed public
offering
of the securities specified in the above registration statement.
We
will act on the request and, pursuant to delegated authority,
grant
acceleration of the effective date.
We direct your attention to Rules 460 and 461 regarding
requesting acceleration of a registration statement. Please allow
adequate time after the filing of any amendment for further review
before submitting a request for acceleration. Please provide this
request at least two business days in advance of the requested
effective date.
Please contact Craig Slivka, Staff Attorney at (202) 551-
3729,
or in his absence Lesli Sheppard, Senior Staff Attorney, at (202)
551-3708 with any other questions.
Sincerely,
Pamela A. Long
Assistant Director
