| | First Community Bank Corporation of America Form 10-K for Fiscal Year ended December 31, 2005 Form 10-Q for Quarter ended March 31, 2006 File No. 000-50357 |
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We are in receipt of the comments of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) to the above-mentioned filings of First Community Bank Corporation of America (the “Company”) by letter dated May 23, 2006, to John A. Stewart, Jr. and, on behalf of the Company, have set forth below our responses.
The Company has amended its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 to include selected quarterly financial data in Management’s Discussion and Analysis, to indicate in Item 9(a) that its disclosure controls and procedures at the end of the period reported were effective, and to delete references to “small business” in its officers’ certificates.
The Company acknowledges that:
| • | | The Company is responsible for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the filing; |
| • | | Staff comments or changes to disclosure in response to staff comments do not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to the filing; and |
| • | | The Company may not assert staff comments as a defense in any proceeding instituted by the Commission or any person under the federal securities laws of the United States. |
