File No. 333-169620
Dear Mr.
Riedler:
Pursuant
to Rule 461 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Bacterin International
Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) requests acceleration of the effective date of
the above-referenced Registration Statement so that the same shall become
effective as of 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on February 10, 2011, or as soon
thereafter as possible.
The
Company hereby acknowledges that
|
|
·
|
Should
the Commission or the Staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority,
declare the Registration Statement effective, it does not foreclose the
Commission from taking any action with respect to the Registration
Statement;
|
|
|
·
|
The
action of the Commission or the Staff, acting pursuant to delegated
authority, in declaring the Registration Statement effective, does not
relieve the Company from its full responsibility for the adequacy and
accuracy of the disclosure in the Registration Statement;
and
|
|
|
·
|
The
Company may not assert Staff comments and the declaration of effectiveness
as a defense in any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person
under the federal securities laws of the United
States.

| Very truly yours, | |||
