RE: SSGA Active Trust; SEC File Nos.: 333-173276 and 811-22542; Request for Withdrawal of Post-Effective Amendment Filings to the Trust’s Registration Statement on Form N-1A

Dear Sir/Madam:

Pursuant to Rule 477 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), SSGA Active Trust (the “Trust”), on behalf of its series SPDR SSGA Flexible Allocation ETF (the “Fund”), hereby respectfully requests withdrawal of (i) Post-Effective Amendment No. 16 (“PEA No. 16”), which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) via EDGAR (Accession No. 0001193125-13-477683) on December 18, 2013, pursuant to paragraph (a)(2) of Rule 485 under the 1933 Act, and (ii) Post-Effective Amendment No. 77 (“PEA No. 77”), which was filed with the Commission via EDGAR (Accession No. 0001193125-16-500285) on March 10, 2016, pursuant to paragraph (a)(1) of Rule 485 under the 1933 Act. The purpose of PEA No. 16 was to register the Fund as a new series of the Trust. The purpose of PEA No. 77 was to make changes to the Fund’s principal investment strategies and risk disclosure. The automatic effectiveness of PEA No. 77 has been delayed pursuant to subsequent 485BXT filings with the Commission via EDGAR, the most recent of which was filed on June 2, 2017 (Accession No. 0001193125-17-192378) (each, a “BXT Filing” and together with PEA No. 16 and PEA No. 77, the “Filings”) and scheduled to become effective on July 2, 2017.

The withdrawal of the Filings is requested because the Trust has determined not to move forward with the offering of such Fund as a series of the Trust at this time.

No securities were sold in connection with this offering.

If you have any questions, please contact me at (617) 662-2532 or cmadden@statestreet.com.

 

Very truly yours,
