RE: First Advantage Bancorp
        Form S-1, amendment number 1, filed on August 31, 2007
        File Number 333-144454

Dear Mr. Bradley:

      We have reviewed the above referenced, amended Form S-1 and
have the following comments.  Where we have indicated, we think
you
should revise your document in response to these comments.   If
you
disagree, we will consider your explanation as to why our comment
is
inapplicable or a revision is unnecessary.   Please be as detailed
as
necessary in your explanation.  In some of our comments, we may
ask
you to provide us with information so we may better understand
your
disclosure.  After reviewing this information, we may raise
additional comments.

      The purpose of our review process is to assist you in your
compliance with the applicable disclosure requirements and to
enhance
the overall disclosure in your filing.  We look forward to working
with you in these respects.  We welcome any questions you may have
about our comments or any other aspect of our review.  Feel free
to
call us at the telephone numbers listed at the end of this letter.


Our Recent Operating History, page 1
1. Reference is made to the second full paragraph on page 2.  We
do
not understand your conclusion that your market area is overbanked
from the information presented.  For example, the fact that local
figures are less than statewide figures might be related to poor,
local economic conditions.  From the information presented, it
might
be because competitors are taking market share from you.  Please
revise or advise.


2. It is not clear why the average per branch figures are not the
same as the total area deposits.  Please revise or advise.
3. The sentence beginning "During the same period...," relating to
deposit market share, does not appear to relate to overbanking
since
average deposits per branch in your market went up.  It does
perhaps
relate to your declining performance discussed in the first
paragraph
on page 2.  Please revise or advise.
4. As previously requested, please revise to prominently provide
the
conclusion, stated in your appraisal, that your market area is
"significantly overbanked."


Use of Proceeds, page 23
5. We note your response to comment 7 in our letter dated August
13,
2007.  Please revise this section to include a note that
quantifies
the expected effects on the offering proceeds if the restricted
stock
plan is adopted according to your intentions as described on page
85
and in your response letter.


Exhibit 8.1
6. We reiterate our prior comment number 18.  Please revise to
specifically indicate that this opinion addresses all of the
material
federal income tax consequences.
