SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[File No. 1-14875]


Issuer Delisting; Notice of Application To Withdraw From Listing 
and Registration on the American Stock Exchange LLC; (FTI Consulting, 
Inc. Common Stock, $.01 Par Value)

August 9, 2001.
    FTI Consulting, Inc., a Maryland Corporation (``Issuer''), has 
filed an application with the Securities and Exchange Commission 
(``Commission''), pursuant to section 12(d) of the Securities Exchange 
Act of 1934 (``Act'') \1\ and Rule 12d2-2(d) thereunder,\2\ to withdraw 
its Common Stock, $.01 par value (``Security''), from listing and 
registration on the American Stock Exchange LLC (``Amex'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78l(d).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.12d2-2(d).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Issuer stated in its application that it has met the 
requirements of Amex Rule 18 by complying with all applicable laws in 
effect in the State of Maryland, in which it is incorporated, and with 
the Amex's rules governing an issuer's voluntary withdrawal of a 
security from listing and registration. The Issuer's application 
relates solely to the Security's withdrawal from listing on the Amex 
and registration under section 12(b) of the Act \3\ and shall not 
affect its obligation to be registered under section 12(g) of the 
Act.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ 15 U.S.C. 78l(b).
    \4\ 15 U.S.C. 78l(g).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On July 25, 2001, the Board of Directors of the Issuer unanimously 
approved resolutions to withdraw the Issuer's Security from listing on 
the Amex and to list it on the New York Stock Exchange (``NYSE''). In 
its application, the Issuer states that trading in the Security on the 
Amex will cease on August 15, 2001 and trading in the Security is 
expected to begin on the NYSE at the opening of business on August 16, 
2001. In making the decision to withdraw the Security from listing on 
the Exchange, the Issuer represents that it is in the best interest of 
the shareholders because it will raise the Issuer's profile with the 
investment community and will be an important step in providing the 
access to capital markets necessary to continue the Company's strong 
business and financial growth.
    Any interested person may, on or before August 30, 2001 submit by 
letter to the Secretary of the Securities and Exchange Commission, 450 
Fifth Street, NW., Washington, DC 20549-0609, facts bearing upon 
whether the application has been made in accordance with the rules of 
the Amex 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.\5\
