Ladies and Gentleman:
Pursuant to Rule 461 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), Olin Corporation (the “Company”) hereby respectfully requests that the effective time of the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-4 (File No. 333-203990) (as amended, the “Registration Statement”) be accelerated so that the Registration Statement becomes effective under the Securities Act at 11:00 a.m., Washington D.C. time, on September 2, 2015, or as soon thereafter as practicable on September 2, 2015.
In making this acceleration request, the Company is aware of its obligations under the Securities Act as they relate to the above-referenced Registration Statement and hereby acknowledges that:
| • | should the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) or its staff (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. |
