SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION


Issuer Delisting; Notice of Application of FFP Marketing Company, 
Inc. to Withdraw its Common Shares, $.01 par Value, From Listing and 
Registration on the American Stock Exchange LLC File No. 1-13727

October 18, 2002.
    FFP Marketing Company, Inc., a Texas 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 Shares, $.01 par value (``Security''), from listing and 
registration on the American Stock Exchange LLC (``Amex'' or 
``Exchange'').
    The Issuer stated in its application that it has met the 
requirements of Amex Rule l8 by complying with all applicable laws in 
effect in the State of Texas, 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 Board of Trustees (``Board'') of the Issuer approved 
resolutions on September 26, 2002 to withdraw the Issuer's Security 
from listing on the Amex. In making its decision to withdraw the 
Issuer's Security from the Exchange, the Board notes the low number of 
stockholders of record results in a disproportionately high cost 
associated with being publicly traded, the extent and nature of trading 
in the Security is erratic and thin, and the burden on the Issuer's 
resources due to the costs associated with maintaining the listing 
requirements for its Security.

withdrawal from listing on the Amex and from 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\

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\
