Subject:

Nationwide Life Insurance Company

Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 (File No. 333-255535)
CIK Number: 0000205695
Accession No.: 0001193125-22-014470

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Pursuant to Rule 477 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Nationwide Life Insurance Company ("Nationwide") respectfully requests the withdrawal of the Post-Effective Amendment No. 1, filed January 21, 2022, File No. 333-255535, together with all exhibits thereto and correspondence filed therewith (the "Amendment").

Nationwide is making this request because it determined that registration of additional securities was necessary and therefore a new registration statement on Form S-1 was required. Nationwide subsequently filed a registration statement on Form S-1 to register the additional securities (File No. 333-263973). Accordingly, Nationwide respectfully requests effectiveness of this withdrawal to be as soon as practicable.

Nationwide confirms that: (i) the Amendment has not automatically become effective nor been declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission; and (ii) no securities have been sold pursuant to the Amendment.

If you have any questions concerning this matter, please contact me at 614-249-8061.

Sincerely yours,

Nationwide Life Insurance Company
