Re:    Request for Withdrawal of Registration Statement on Form S-3
File Nos. 333-209966; 333-209966-01 to 333-209966-15

Ladies and Gentlemen:
Pursuant to Rule 477 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), Century Aluminum Company (the “Company”), on behalf of itself and each of the subsidiaries of the Company listed on Annex A hereto (the “Subsidiary Guarantors”), hereby requests that the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) consent to the withdrawal of the Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File Nos. 333-209966; 333-209966-01 to 333-209966-15) (together with all exhibits thereto, the “Shelf Registration Statement”) effective as soon as practicable.
The Shelf Registration Statement was originally filed by the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors on March 7, 2016 and was declared effective by the Commission on May 5, 2016. No securities under the Shelf Registration Statement have been sold.
The Company is seeking withdrawal of the Shelf Registration Statement because it currently considers the benefits of maintaining the Shelf Registration Statement to be outweighed by the associated burdens. The Company requests that the Commission consent to this application on the grounds that the withdrawal of the Shelf Registration Statement is consistent with the public interest and the protection of investors, as contemplated by paragraph (a) of Rule 477.
The Company acknowledges that no refund will be made for fees paid to the Commission in connection with filing of the Shelf Registration Statement; however, the Company requests, in accordance with Rule 457(p) under the Securities Act, that all fees paid to the Commission in connection with the filing of the Shelf Registration Statement be credited to the Company’s account to be offset against the filing fee for any future registration statement or registration statements the Company may file with the Commission.
