RE:   FRANKLIN FEDERAL TAX-FREE INCOME FUND (Registrant)

      File Nos. 002-75925 and 811-03395

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

On behalf of above-referenced Registrant and pursuant to Rule 477 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (1933 Act), we desire to withdraw, and hereby request that the Commission withdraw, Post Effective Amendment No. 36 to the Registrant's Registration Statement on Form N-1A, (the Amendment). The Amendment was filed with the Commission on August 26, 2011, (Accession No. 0001379491-11-000876) pursuant to Rule 485(b) under 1933 Act, in order to bring the financial statements and other information up to date as required by the federal securities laws.

 

The Registrant believes that withdrawal of the Amendment would be consistent with the public interest and the protection of investors since: 1) An exhibit was inadvertently filed with an incorrect filing type; and 2) because the filing has not yet become effective.

 

If you have any questions, please contact David P. Goss at (650) 312-5824.

 

Sincerely,

 

FRANKLIN FEDERAL TAX-FREE INCOME FUND

 

 

 

/s/ David P. Goss

Senior Associate General Counsel
