Separate Account D ("Registrant")
File Nos: 33-43390 and 811-2441
CIK No. 0000089031
---------------------------------------
Commissioners:
Pursuant to Rule 497(j) under the Securities Act of 1933 ("1933 Act"),
Registrant has elected to file the certification set out below in lieu of
electronically filing definitive copies of the prospectus and statement of
additional information contained in its most recent amendment to its Form N-4
Registration Statement ("Amendment"), as required by paragraph (c) of Rule 497
under the 1933 Act and as informed by Rule 309(b) of Regulation S-T.
Registrant hereby certifies that:
(1) the form of prospectus and statement of additional information that
would have been filed under paragraph (c) of Rule 497 under the 1933
Act would not have differed from that contained in the Amendment,
and
(2) the text of the Amendment, which is designated as Post-Effective
Amendment No. 11 under the 1933 Act and as Amendment No. 56 under
the Investment Company Act of 1940 ("1940 Act"), was filed
electronically on December 26, 1996.
The Amendment superseded Post-Effective Amendment No. 10 under the 1933
Act ("Post-Effective Amendment No. 10"), which also constituted Amendment No.
55 under the 1940 Act and which was effective December 1, 1996. Registrant did
not commence offers of the contracts that were the subject of Post-Effective
Amendment No. 10 until after the effectiveness of the Amendment. Therefore,
Registrant was not required to file definitive copies of the prospectus and
statement of additional information, pursuant to paragraph (c) of Rule 497
under the 1933 Act, until this time.
