No pedalling in A

 in FE (→GE1,EE2)

  in GE2 (→GE3→GE4→GE5) & EE3 (→EE4)

Our suggestion

The  sign was added by Chopin in a proofreading of FE. In this edition (→GE1,EE2) there is however no , which same as in the other places (e.g., in bars 10-11 and 13) is probably an oversight. In the main text we suggest to complete the  mark by analogy with bar 8, yet also a longer pedal hold seems to be totally possible, as it was marked in later GE,s and EE,s.
