Request for Acceleration

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Pursuant to Rule 461 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Luna Innovations Incorporated (the “Registrant”) hereby requests that the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) take appropriate action to cause the above-referenced Registration Statement on Form S-4, as amended (Registration No. 333-201956) (the “Registration Statement”) to become effective at 4:30 p.m. Eastern time on March 24, 2015, or as soon thereafter as practicable, or at such later time as the Registrant or its counsel may orally request via telephone call to the staff.

The Registrant hereby acknowledges that:

 

(i)

should the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, declare the filing effective, it does not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to the filing;

 

(ii)

the action of the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, in declaring the filing effective, does not relieve the Registrant from its full responsibility for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the filing; and

 

(iii)

the Registrant 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.
