| Re: | LyondellBasell Industries N.V. Amendment No. 5 to Registration Statement on Form S-1 Filed August 17, 2011 File No. 333-170130 |
Dear Ms. Long:
Pursuant to Rule 477 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, LyondellBasell
Industries N.V. (the “Company”) hereby requests the immediate withdrawal of Pre-Effective Amendment
No. 5 to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1/A (File No. 333-170130) filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on August 17, 2011.
This amendment was intended to be a post-effective amendment but was incorrectly labeled and
tagged as a pre-effective amendment at the time of the filing. Accordingly, the Company is
requesting that the amendment be withdrawn and is simultaneously re-filing a post-effective
amendment to the registration statement that will include the correct label and EDGAR tag.
The Company confirms that no securities have been sold pursuant to the amendment.
If you have any questions or comments regarding the foregoing, please contact the undersigned
at (713) 309-4953 or Brent Pharis at (713) 309-7929.
Very truly yours,
LYONDELLBASELL INDUSTRIES N.V.
