              RE:      Chase Manhattan Bank USA, National Association,
                       as Originator of the Receivables of the
                       Chase Credit Card Master Trust (the
                       "Trust") Application for Withdrawal of
                       Registration Statement on Form S-3 File
                       No.: 333-76666


Ladies and Gentlemen:


     On behalf of Chase Manhattan Bank USA, National Association, a national
banking association organized under the laws of the United States (the
"Bank"), pursuant to the provisions of Rule 477(b) of the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, we hereby apply for an order granting the immediate
withdrawal of the Bank's registration statement on Form S-3 filed January 14,
2002 referred to above (the "Registration Statement"). The Bank has concluded
that it will not pursue an offering under the Registration Statement. No
securities were sold in connection with the Registration Statement.

     The Registration Statement was originally filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission on January 14, 2002 to describe changes to the structure
of the transactions to a two-step transfer whereby Chase USA Card Funding LLC,
a Delaware limited liability company, was formed by the Bank to purchase the
Receivables from the Bank and to transfer them to the Trust. The two-step
structure was necessary for the Bank to preserve the off-balance sheet nature
of the Trust pursuant to FASB's SFAS 140, which became fully applicable to the
Bank as of December 31, 2001. The Bank requests withdrawal of this
Registration Statement because, on March 5, 2002,




                                                                             2

the Bank among other things amended the governing law of the pooling and
servicing agreement and the supplements to Delaware and effected other changes
intended to ensure that the transfers of receivables under the pooling and
servicing agreement continue to be accounted for as sales under generally
accepted accounting principles without the use of the two-step structure.

     If you have questions regarding the foregoing application for withdrawal,
please contact the undersigned by telephone at (212)-270-6255.


                                        Very truly yours,


                                        By:  /s/ James Y. Lee
                                        Name:  James Y. Lee
                                        Title: Assistant General Counsel
