File No. 333-145849 |
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Pursuant to Rule 461 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, New Giant Corporation (the
Company) hereby requests the Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission) to accelerate
the effective date of the above-referenced Registration Statement and declare the Registration
Statement, effective as of 10:00 a.m., Washington, D.C. time, on December 10, 2007 or as soon
thereafter as practicable. The Company also requests the Commission to specifically confirm such
effective date and time to the Company in writing.
The Company acknowledges that: (i) should the Commission or the staff of the Commission,
acting pursuant to delegated authority, declare the filing effective, such declaration does not
foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to the filing; (ii) the action of the
Commission or the staff of the Commission, 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 (iii) 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.
