Re: Application for Withdrawal of Registration Statement on Form 8-A
File No. 001-14133
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Blue Rhino Corporation (the "Company") hereby requests that its
Registration Statement on Form 8-A filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "Commission") on May 15, 1998 and amended on May 18, 1998 be
withdrawn immediately. The Registration Statement is being withdrawn because
the Company's Common Stock is not traded on a national securities exchange and,
thus, is not properly registered pursuant Section 12(b) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act").
On May 19, 1998, the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form 8-A
with the Commission to properly register its Common Stock pursuant to Section
12(g) of the Exchange Act. The Commission file number of this Registration
Statement is 000-24287.
Please contact Susan M. Hermann or Robert A. Contreras at (312) 641-6888
with any questions related to this application for withdrawal.
Blue Rhino Corporation
