UNITED STATES SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20549-4561 DIVISION OF CORPORATION FINANCE March 5, 2012 Anne T. Larin General Motors Company anne. [email protected] Re: General Motors Company Dear Ms. Larin: This is in regard to your letters dated February 22,2012 and February 28,2012 concerning the shareholder proposal submitted by Evelyn Y. Davis for inclusion in General Motors' proxy materials for its upcoming annual meeting ofsecurity holders. Your letters indicate that the proponent has withdrawn the proposal, and that General Motors therefore withdraws its February 6,2012 request for a no-action letter from the Division. Because the matter is now moot, we will have no further comment. Copies ofall ofthe correspondence related to this matter will be made available on our website at http://www.sec.gov/divisions/corpfinlcf-noactionl14a-8.shtml. For your reference, a briefdiscussion ofthe Division's infonnal procedures regarding shareholder proposals is also available at the same website address ..
