SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

Issuer Delisting; Notice of Application to Withdraw From Listing 
and Registration; (ICG Communications, Inc., Common Stock, $.01 Par 
Value) File No. 1-11965

March 26, 1997.
    ICG Communications, Inc. (``Company'') has filed an application 
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission''), pursuant 
to Section 12(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (``Act'') and 
rule 12d2-2(d) promulgated thereunder, to withdraw the above specified 
security (``Security'') from listing and registration on the American 
Stock Exchange, Inc. (``Amex'').
    The reasons alleged in the application for withdrawing the Security 
from listing and registration include the following:
    According to the Company, the Board of Directors (the ``Board'') 
unanimously approved a resolution on February 11, 1997, to withdraw the 
Security from listing on the Amex and, instead, to list such Security 
on the Nasdaq National Market (``Nasdaq''). The decision of the Board 
was based upon the belief that listing the Security on Nasdaq will be 
more beneficial to its stockholders than the present listing on Amex 
because the Company has increasingly become aware of a reluctance by a 
seemingly growing number of trading firms to trade or market securities 
listed on Amex. The Company believes this reluctance has been a factor 
contributing to the very thin trading volume in the Company's stock. 
Furthermore, the Company also believes such reluctance to trade has, in 
turn, contributed to an unwillingness to do research on the Company. As 
a combined result, investors and prospective investors have not been as 
well served as the Company believes they are more likely to be on 
Nasdaq.
    Any interested person may, on or before April 16, 1997, submit by 
letter to the Secretary of the Securities and Exchange Commission, 450 
Fifth Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20549, facts bearing upon whether 
the application has been made in accordance with the rules of the 
exchanges and what terms, if any, should be imposed by the Commission 
for the protection of investors. The Commission, based on the 
information submitted to it, will issue an order granting the 
application after the date mentioned above, unless the Commission 
determines to order a hearing on the matter.

    For the Commission, by the Division of Market Regulation, 
pursuant to delegated authority.
Jonathan G. Katz,
Secretary.
