Dear Ms. Akins:

 

This confirms our telephone conversation last Friday afternoon regarding the proposed submission date for Principal Financial Group, Inc.’s response to the Staff’s comment letter dated September 5, 2012, concerning the above-referenced periodic report. 

 

You requested the company to respond within ten business days, or in the alternative, to inform the Staff when the company will provide a response.  As indicated, the company plans to provide its response no later than October 3, 2012. 

 

Please let me know if your recollection of our conversation is inconsistent with what I have described.  Please call me if you have any questions or comments. 

 

Sincerely,
