SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

Washington, D.C. 20549

SCHEDULE 13G

Under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(Amendment No. 1)*

CORNING INCORPORATED
(Name of Issuer)
Common Stock
(Title of Class of Securities)
219350 10 5
(CUSIP Number)
February 4, 2009
(Date of Event Which Requires Filing of this Statement)

The Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Company is withdrawing its previous 13G filing for this security. It did not, and does not, beneficially own greater than 5% of the security, and as a result no filing should have been made. The beneficial ownership information contained in the previous 13G filing was calculated using an incorrect exchange rate for the Issuer’s mandatory exchangeable securities.

* The remainder of this cover page shall be filled out for a reporting person’s initial filing on this form with respect to the subject class of securities, and for any subsequent amendment containing information which would alter the disclosures provided in a prior cover page.

The information required in the remainder of this cover page shall not be deemed to be “filed” for the purpose of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Act”) or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section of the Act but shall be subject to all other provisions of the Act (however, see the Notes).
