Issuer Delisting; Notice of Application of Covanta Holding 
Corporation To Withdraw its Common Stock, $.10 Par Value, From Listing 
and Registration on the American Stock Exchange LLC

October 25, 2005.
    On September 23, 2005, Covanta Holding Corporation, a Delaware 
corporation (``Issuer''), 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'').

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78l(d).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.12d2-2(d).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On September 16, 2005, the Board of Directors (``Board'') of the 
Issuer approved resolutions to withdraw the Security from listing and 
registration on Amex and to list the Security on the New York Stock 
Exchange, Inc. (``NYSE''). The Issuer stated that the Board determined 
that it is in the best interest of the Issuer to list the Security on 
NYSE, and is withdrawing the Security on Amex in order to avoid direct 
and indirect costs and the division of the market resulting from dual 
listing on Amex and NYSE.
    The Issuer stated in its application that it has met the 
requirements of Amex Rule 18 by complying with all applicable laws in 
effect in the state of Delaware, in which it is incorporated, and 
provided written notice of withdrawal to Amex.
    The Issuer's application relates solely to the withdrawal of the 
Security from listing on Amex, and shall not affect its continued 
listing on NYSE or its obligation to be registered under Section 12(b) 
of the Act.\3\
