PAGE 1 March 10, 1994 Securities and Exchange Commission Judiciary Plaza 450 Fifth Street, N.W. Washington, D.C. 20549 Attention: Ms. Patsy Mengiste Document Control - EDGAR RE: IDS Certificate Company (IDSC) IDS Installment Certificate Post-Effective Amendment No. 34 File No. 2-76193 Dear Ms. Mengiste: Pursuant to Rule 477(a), Registrant hereby requests that the filing transmitted on January 26, 1994, and described on its cover as Post-Effective Amendment No. 34 (File No. 2-76193) be withdrawn. This filing was inadvertently filed under IDS Certificate Company - IDS Installment Certificate EDGAR filing number 2-76193 versus the correct Series D-1 Investment Certificate EDGAR file number 2-55252. There were portions of Part II that were also missing in the filing. Therefore, Registrant respectfully requests to withdraw Post-Effective Amendment No. 34 and intends to immediately file Post-Effective Amendment No. 34 under the appropriate registration which is IDS Series D-1 Investment Certificate (file no. 2-55252). The Certificate Company Board of Directors elected a new chairman and president after Amendment No. 34 was filed on January 26, 1994. These changes are reflected on the signature pages for the new Post-Effective Amendment No. 34. New Powers of Attorney also are included. Please note that Post-Effective Amendment No. 11 (File No. 2-76193) for IDS Installment Certificate remains pending. Please accept our apology for any confusion we may have caused. If you have any further questions regarding the filing, please contact me at (612) 671-2221 or Kristi Moen at (612) 671-3453. Sincerely Bruce A. Kohn Vice President and General Counsel BAK/KMM/rjf
