SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE

COMMISSION

Issuer Delisting; Notice of Application

To Withdraw From Listing and

Registration on the American Stock

Exchange LLC (Plains Resources, Inc.,

Common Stock, $.10 Par Value), File

No. 1–10454

December 21, 2001.

Plains Resources, Inc. a Delaware

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, $.10 par value (‘‘Security’’), from

listing and registration on the American

Stock Exchange LLC (‘‘Amex’’).

The Issuer has stated in its

application that it has complied with

the rules of the Amex by complying

with all applicable laws in effect in the

State of Delaware, in which it is

incorporated, and with the Amex’s rules

governing an issuer’s voluntary

withdrawal of a security from listing

and registration.

On November 6, 2001, the Board of

Directors of the Issuer unanimously

approved a resolution to withdraw its

Security from listing on the Amex and

to list it on the New York Stock

Exchange, Inc. (‘‘NYSE’’). In its

application, the Issuer stated that

trading in the Security on the Amex

ceased on December 20, 2001, and

trading in the Security is expected to

begin on the NYSE at the opening of

business on December 21, 2001. In

making the decision to withdraw the

Security from listing on the Exchange,

the Issuer represents that it seeks to

avoid the direct and indirect costs and

division of the market resulting from

dual listing on the Amex and the NYSE.

The Issuer’s application relates solely

to the Security withdrawal from listing

on the Amex and shall affect neither its

approval for trading on the NYSE nor its

obligation to be registered under section

12(g) of the Act.3

Any interested person may, on or

before January 16, 2002 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.4
