repay your note. In addition, you will not be entitled to require us to buy your note from you before its stated maturity.
We will have the right to redeem the notes at our option, in whole but not in part, on each March 19, June 19, September 19 and
December 19 on or after March 19, 2016, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the outstanding principal amount plus accrued and
unpaid interest to but excluding the redemption date. We will provide not less than five business days' prior notice in the manner
described under "Description of Debt Securities We May Offer -- Notices" in the attached prospectus. If the redemption notice is given
and funds deposited as required, then interest will cease to accrue on and after the redemption date on the notes. If any redemption
date is not a business day, we will pay the redemption price on the next business day without any interest or other payment due to the
delay.

Pricing Supplement No. 3572 dated March 16, 2015
What are the Tax Consequences of the Notes
You should carefully consider, among other things, the matters set forth under "United States Taxation" in the accompanying
prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus. The following discussion summarizes certain of the material U.S. federal
income tax consequences of the purchase, beneficial ownership, and disposition of each of the notes. This summary supplements the
section "United States Taxation" in the accompanying prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus and is subject to the
limitations and exceptions set forth therein.
As of the original issue date, the notes should not be treated as issued with "original issue discount" ("OID") despite the fact that
the interest rate on the notes is scheduled to step-up over the term of the notes because Treasury regulations generally deem an
issuer to exercise a call option in a manner that minimizes the yield on the debt instrument for purposes of determining whether a debt
instrument is issued with OID. The yield on the notes would be minimized if we call the notes immediately before the increase in the
interest rate on March 19, 2020 and therefore the notes should be treated as maturing on such date for OID purposes. This
assumption is made solely for purposes of determining whether the notes are issued with OID for U.S. federal income tax purposes,
and is not an indication of our intention to call or not to call the notes at any time. If we do not call the notes prior to the increase in
the interest rate then, solely for OID purposes, the notes will be deemed to be reissued at their adjusted issue price on March 19,
2020. This deemed issuance should not give rise to taxable gain or loss to holders. The same analysis would apply to the increase in
the interest rate on March 19, 2025, March 19, 2030, March 19, 2033 and March 19, 2034. If the notes are not called on the interest
payment date occurring on March 19, 2034 then, because the period between the interest payment date on March 19, 2034 and the
stated maturity date of the notes is one year or less, the notes, upon their deemed reissuance on March 19, 2034, could be treated as
short-term debt securities for OID purposes (but not for purposes of determining the holding period of your notes). For a discussion of
the U.S. federal income tax consequences to a U.S. holder of owning short-term debt securities, please review the section entitled
"United States Taxation -- Taxation of Debt Securities -- United States Holders -- Short-Term Debt Securities" in the accompanying
prospectus.
Under this approach, and subject to the discussion above regarding short-term debt securities, interest on a note will be taxable
to a U.S. holder as ordinary interest income at the time it accrues or is received in accordance with the U.S. holder's normal method of
accounting for tax purposes (regardless of whether we call the notes).

PS-4
Table of Contents
Upon the disposition of a note by sale, exchange, redemption or retirement (i.e., if we exercise our right to call the notes or
otherwise) or other disposition, a U.S. holder will generally recognize capital gain or loss equal to the difference, if any, between (i) the
amount realized on the disposition (other than amounts attributable to accrued but unpaid interest, which would be treated as such)
and (ii) the U.S. holder's adjusted tax basis in the note. A U.S. holder's adjusted tax basis in a note generally will equal the cost of the
note (net of accrued interest) to the U.S. holder. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to significant limitations.
Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) Withholding. Pursuant to Treasury regulations, Foreign Account Tax Compliance
Act (FATCA) withholding (as described in "United States Taxation--Taxation of Debt Securities--Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act
(FATCA) Withholding" in the accompanying prospectus) will generally apply to obligations that are issued on or after July 1, 2014;
therefore, the notes will generally be subject to FATCA withholding. However, according to final Treasury regulations, the withholding
tax described above will not apply to payments of gross proceeds from the sale, exchange, redemption or other disposition of the notes
made before January 1, 2017.

In the future, Goldman, Sachs & Co. or other affiliates of The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. may repurchase and resell the offered
notes in market-making transactions, with resales being made at prices related to prevailing market prices at the time of resale or at
negotiated prices. The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. estimates that its share of the total offering expenses, excluding underwriting

making activities, see "Plan of Distribution" in the accompanying prospectus.
We will deliver the notes against payment therefor in New York, New York on March 19, 2015, which is the third scheduled
business day following the date of this pricing supplement and of the pricing of the notes.
In relation to each Member State of the European Economic Area which has implemented the Prospectus Directive (each, a
"Relevant Member State") with effect from and including the date on which the Prospectus Directive is implemented in that Relevant
Member State (the "Relevant Implementation Date") an offer of the offered notes which are the subject of the offering contemplated by
this pricing supplement in relation thereto may not be made to the public in that Relevant Member State except that, with effect from
and including the Relevant Implementation Date, an offer of such offered notes may be made to the public in that Relevant Member
State:

a)
at any time to any legal entity which is a qualified investor as defined in the Prospectus Directive;

b)
at any time to fewer than 100 or, if the Relevant Member State has implemented the relevant provision of the 2010 PD

Amending Directive, 150, natural or legal persons (other than qualified investors as defined in the Prospectus Directive),
subject to obtaining the prior consent of the relevant dealer or dealers nominated by the Issuer for any such offer; or

c)
at any time in any other circumstances falling within Article 3(2) of the Prospectus Directive,
provided that no such offer of offered notes shall require the Issuer or any dealer to publish a prospectus pursuant to Article 3 of the
Prospectus Directive.
For the purposes of this provision, the expression "an offer of notes to the public" in relation to any notes in any Relevant Member
State means the communication in any form and by any means of sufficient information on the terms of the offer and the notes to be
offered so as to enable an investor to decide to purchase or subscribe the notes, as the same may be varied in that Member State by
any measure implementing the Prospectus Directive in that Member State. The expression "Prospectus Directive" means Directive
2003/71/EC (and amendments thereto, including the 2010 PD Amending Directive, to the extent implemented in the Relevant Member
State) and includes any relevant implementing measure in each Relevant Member State and the expression "2010 PD Amending
Directive" means Directive 2010/73/EU.
Goldman, Sachs & Co. has represented and agreed that:
(a) in relation to any notes that have a maturity of less than one year (i) it is a person whose ordinary activities involve it in
acquiring, holding, managing or disposing of investments (as principal or agent) for the purposes of its business and (ii) it has not
offered or sold and will not offer or sell any notes other than to persons whose ordinary activities involve them in acquiring, holding,
managing or disposing of investments (as principal or agent) for the purposes of their businesses or who it is reasonable to expect will
acquire, hold, manage or dispose of investments (as principal or agent) for the purposes of their businesses where the issue of the
offered notes would otherwise constitute a contravention of Section 19 of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (the "FSMA") by
The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc.;
(b) it has only communicated or caused to be communicated and will only communicate or cause to be communicated an
invitation or inducement to engage in investment activity (within the meaning of Section 21 of the FSMA) received by it in connection
with the issue or sale of the offered notes in circumstances in which Section 21(1) of the FSMA does not apply to The Goldman Sachs
Group, Inc.; and
(c) it has complied and will comply with all applicable provisions of the FSMA with respect to anything done by it in relation to the
notes in, from or otherwise involving the United Kingdom.
No advertisement, invitation or document relating to the notes may be issued or may be in the possession of any person for the
purpose of issue (in each case whether in Hong Kong or elsewhere), if such advertisement, invitation or document is directed at, or
the contents of which are likely to be accessed or read by, the public in Hong Kong (except if permitted to do so under the securities
laws of Hong Kong) other than with respect to the offered notes which are or are intended to be disposed of only to persons outside of
Hong Kong or only to "professional investors" as defined in the Securities and Futures Ordinance (Cap. 571, Laws of Hong Kong) and
any rules made thereunder.

Japan) or to others for reoffering or resale, directly or indirectly, in Japan or to or for the benefit of any resident of Japan, except
pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the FIEA and otherwise in compliance with any relevant laws, and
regulations of Japan.
