Request for Withdrawal of Registration Statement Pursuant to Rule 477
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Pursuant to Rule 477(a) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), Genworth Life and Annuity Insurance Company (the “Company”) and Genworth Life & Annuity VA Separate Account 1 (the “Separate Account” or “Registrant”) hereby request the withdrawal of Registrant’s Post-Effective Amendment No. 49 to its Registration Statement on Form N-4 (Class ID C000026718; File No. 033-76334), together with all exhibits thereto, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 28, 2021 (the “Post-Effective Amendment”).
After filing the Post-Effective Amendment, we determined that certain parts of the filing did not upload properly onto the EDGAR database. The Post-Effective Amendment has not yet become effective, and no securities have been sold under the Post-Effective Amendment. Therefore, the Company and the Registrant respectfully request that an order be issued granting their request for withdrawal of the Post-Effective Amendment effective as of the date hereof or at the earliest practicable date hereafter.
Should you have any questions, please contact me at 804.289.3545.
Sincerely,
