Post-Effective Amendment No. 129 to the Registration Statement

    

on Form N-1A of BlackRock Liquidity Funds (the “Trust”) on behalf of

    

its series, FedFund (File Nos. 2-47015 and 811-2354)

Dear Ms. O’Neal:

On behalf of the Trust, we herewith transmit for filing, under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), Post-Effective Amendment No. 129 (the “Amendment”) to the Trust’s Registration Statement on Form N-1A (the “Registration Statement”) on behalf of FedFund (the “Fund”).

The Amendment is being filed pursuant to Rule 485(b) under the Securities Act and it is proposed that the Amendment become effective on December 15, 2020.

The Amendment is being filed for the purpose of (i) completing the information required to be provided in the Registration Statement and (ii) making certain other non-material changes which the Fund deemed appropriate.

The Amendment also includes interactive data format risk/return summary information in Inline XBRL that mirrors the risk/return summary information in the Amendment.

We have reviewed the Amendment and represent to the Securities and Exchange Commission that, to our knowledge, such Amendment does not contain disclosure that would render it ineligible to become effective pursuant to Rule 485(b).

The Amendment also contains the Trust’s responses to the telephonic comments provided by Ms. Deborah L. O’Neal of the staff (the “Staff”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on November 5, 2020 regarding the Trust’s Post-Effective Amendment No.

 

Sidley Austin (NY) LLP is a Delaware limited liability partnership doing business as Sidley Austin LLP and practicing in affiliation with other Sidley Austin partnerships.

Please discuss in correspondence whether any waivers or reimbursements pursuant to this contractual agreement can be recouped by BlackRock Advisors, LLC in subsequent periods.

Comment 3:    The Staff notes that the Fund’s principal risks are listed in alphabetical order. Please re-order the principal risks to prioritize the risks that are most likely to adversely affect the Fund.
