NOTIFICATION OF THE REMOVAL FROM LISTING
AND REGISTRATION OF THE STATED SECURITIES
New York Stock Exchange LLC (the 'Exchange'
 or the 'NYSE') hereby notifies the SEC of
its intention to remove the entire class of
the following Securities:

The Colonial BancGroup, Inc. (the 'Company')
Common Stock
7.875% Trust Preferred Securities
8 7/8% Subordinated Notes due March 15, 2038

(collectively, the 'Securities') from listing
and registration on the Exchange at the opening
of business on September 18, 2009, pursuant to
the provisions of Rule 12d2-2(b), because, in the
 opinion of the Exchange, the Securities are no
longer suitable for continued listing and trading
on the Exchange. The Exchange's action is being
taken in view of the fact that on August 14, 2009,
Colonial Bank of Montgomery, AL was closed by the
Alabama State Banking Department, with the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") subsequently
named as Receiver.  Furthermore, BB&T Corporation
announced on August 14, 2009 that it had acquired
the banking operations of Colonial Bank of Montgomery,
Ala., including $22 billion in assets and $20 billion
in deposits, in a transaction facilitated by the FDIC.
In this regard, the FDIC and BB&T have entered into a
loss sharing agreement covering substantially all
acquired loans and securities.  Excluded from the
transaction are any of the assets or obligations of
the parent holding company or select assets and
liabilities of Colonial Bank, including any relating
to Taylor, Bean and Whitaker Mortgage Corporation.
In making its determination, NYSE Regulation considered
 the substantial reduction in the scope of the Company?s
 operations as a result of this transaction and the
uncertainty regarding its effect on the Company?s
equityholders.

1. The Exchange's Listed Company Manual, Section 802.01D
 states, in part, that the Exchange is not limited by the
 criteria set forth in that section. Rather, it may make
an appraisal of, and determine on an individual basis, the
 suitability for continued listing of an issue in the light
 of all pertinent facts whenever it deems such action
appropriate, even though a security meets or fails to meet
any enumerated criteria. Other factors which may lead to a
company?s delisting include:
Reduction in Operating Assets and/or Scope of Operations the
 operating assets have been or are to be substantially reduced
 such as by sale, lease, spin off, distribution, discontinuance,
 abandonment, destruction, condemnation, seizure or expropriation,
 or the company has ceased to be an operating company or
discontinued a substantial portion of its operations or business
 for any reason whatsoever and whether or not any of the
foregoing results from action by the company, related parties
 or persons unrelated to the company.

2. The Exchange, on August 17, 2009, determined that the Securities
 of the Company should be suspended immediately, and directed the
preparation and filing with the Commission of this application for
the removal of the Securities from listing and registration on the
Exchange. The Company was notified by letter on August 17, 2009.

3. Pursuant to the above authorization, a press release was
immediately issued and an announcement was made on the 'ticker'
of the Exchange immediately and at the close of the trading session
on August 17, 2009 of the suspension of trading in the Securities.
Similar information was included on the Exchange's website.

4. The Company had a right to appeal to the Committee for Review of
 the Board of Directors of NYSE Regulation the determination to
delist the Securities, provided that it filed a written request for
 such a review with the Secretary of the Exchange within ten business
 days of receiving notice of delisting determination.  The Company
did not file such request within the specified time period.
