Issuer Delisting; Notice of Application of Glacier Water 
Services, Inc. and Glacier Water Trust I To Withdraw Its Common Stock, 
$.01 Par Value, and Glacier Water Services, Inc. and Glacier Water & 
Trust I To Withdraw the 9\1/16\% Cumulative Trust Preferred Securities 
of Glacier Water Trust I, From Listing and Registration on the American 
Stock Exchange LLC File No. 1-11012

January 11, 2006.
    On December 14, 2005, Glacier Water Services, Inc., a Delaware 
corporation (``Issuer''), the Issuer and Glacier Water Trust I, a 
Delaware business trust (``Trust'') filed an application with the 
Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission''), to withdraw its 
common stock, $.01 par value, and to withdraw the 9\1/16\% cumulative 
trust preferred securities of the Trust (collectively ``Securities''), 
from listing and registration on the American Stock Exchange LLC 
(``Amex'') pursuant to Section 12(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 
1934 (``Act'') \1\ and Rule 12d2-2(d) thereunder.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    On November 30, 2005, the Board of Directors (``Board'') of the 
Issuer approved resolutions to withdraw the Securities from listing and 
registration on Amex.\3\ The Issuer stated that on November 23, 2005, 
it received a notice from Amex regarding its non-compliance with 
certain continued listing standards. The Issuer decided that it is in 
the best interest of its shareholders to withdraw from listing 
voluntarily rather than to take steps that would be necessary to remedy 
the non-compliance. The Issuer stated that it expects the Securities to 
trade in the Pink Sheets over-the-counter market after the Securities 
are delisted from Amex.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ The Issuer owns all of the common securities of the Trust 
and controls the Trust. See telephone conversation between Steve L. 
Kuan, Special Counsel, Division of Market Regulation, Commission, 
and Howard F. Hart, Partner, Weissmann Wolff Bergman Coleman Grodin 
& Evall LLP, counsel to Issuer, on January 6, 2006.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Issuer and the Trust stated that they have met the requirements 
of Amex's rules governing an issuer's voluntary withdrawal of a 
security from listing and registration by complying with all the 
applicable laws in effect in the state of Delaware, in which each is 
incorporated or organized, and by providing Amex with the required 
documents for withdrawal from Amex.
    The application relates solely to the withdrawal of the Securities 
from listing on Amex and from registration under Section 12(b) of the 
Act,\4\ and shall not affect their obligation to be registered under 
Section 12(g) of the Act.\5\

    Any interested person may, on or before February 6, 2006, comment 
on the facts bearing upon whether the application has been made in 
accordance with the rules of Amex, and what terms, if any, should be 
imposed by the Commission for the protection of investors. All comment 
letters may be submitted by either of the following methods:
