Re: Apria Healthcare Group Inc.
Commission File No. 000-19854
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Pursuant to our telephone conversation with your office on July 3,
1997, we hereby officially make application to withdraw Amendment No.
1 (to Registration Statement) on Form 8-A/A of Apria Healthcare Group
Inc. (the "Company"), originally filed with the Commission on July 1,
1997. The Company is requesting the withdrawal due to the fact that
the Registration Statement amended thereby is not the currently
effective Registration Statement on Form 8-A covering the securities
in question. The currently effective Registration Statement with
respect to those securities was filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission on April 10, 1996. Contemporaneously with the
filing hereof, the Company is filing an amendment to the currently
effective Registration Statement.
Please provide the Company with a copy of the order granting
withdrawal of the Amendment No. 1 described above as soon as it is
available. We understand that the filing fee, if any, for the filing
being withdrawn is nonrefundable. If you have any questions, please
do not hesitate to contact me at 714/427-4422 or our corporate
counsel, Raoul Smyth, at 714/427-2018.
Very truly yours,
/s/ Robert S. Holcombe
