Municipal Opportunities Fund, BNY Mellon National
Municipal Money Market Fund and BNY Mellon
Government Money Market Fund (the "Funds"), each a
series of BNY Mellon Funds Trust, complied with the
requirements of subsections (b) and (c) of Rule 17f-2 under
the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the Act) as of
August 31, 2021. Management is responsible for its
assertion about the Funds' compliance with those
requirements of subsections (b) and (c) of Rule 17f-2 of the
Act (the specified requirements). Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on management's assertion about the
Funds' compliance with the specified requirements based
on our examination.

Our examination was conducted in accordance with
attestation standards established by the American Institute
of Certified Public Accountants. Those standards require
that we plan and perform the examination to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether management's
assertion about compliance with the specified requirements
is fairly stated, in all material respects. An examination
involves performing procedures to obtain evidence about
whether management's assertion is fairly stated in all
materials respects. The nature, timing, and extent of the
procedures selected depend on our judgement, including an
assessment of the risks of material misstatement of
management's assertion, whether due to fraud or error. We
believe that the evidence we obtained is sufficient and
appropriate to provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Included among our procedures were the following tests
performed as of August 31, 2021, and with respect to
agreement of security purchases and sales, for the period
from June 30, 2021, (the date of the Funds' last
examination) through August 31, 2021:
1.	Count and inspection of all securities located in the vault of
The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation in 570
Washington Blvd, Jersey City, NJ 07310 or where
inspection could not be performed, application of
alternative procedures;
2.	Confirmation with the Custodian of all securities held,
hypothecated, pledged or placed in escrow or out for
transfer with brokers or pledgees, if any;
3.	Obtained the Custodian reconciliation of security positions
held by institutions in book entry form (e.g., the Federal
Reserve Bank, The Depository Trust Company and various
sub-custodians) to Custodian records and verified that
reconciling items were cleared in a timely manner;

4.	Reconciliation of the Funds' securities per the books and
records of the Funds to those of the Custodian;
5.	Agreement of pending purchase and sale activity for the
Funds as of August 31, 2021, if any, to documentation of
corresponding subsequent bank statements;

6.	Agreement of five security purchases and five security
sales or maturities, since the date of the last examination,
from the books and records of the Funds to corresponding
bank statements;


7.	Review of the BNY Mellon Asset Servicing Custody and
Securities Lending Services Service Organization Control
Report ("SOC 1 Report") for the period July 1, 2020 - June
30, 2021 and noted no relevant findings were reported in
the areas of Asset Custody and Trade Settlement.

We believe that our examination provides a reasonable
basis for our opinion. Our examination does not provide a
legal determination on the Funds' compliance with
specified requirements.
In our opinion, management's assertion that the Funds
complied with the requirements of subsections (b) and (c)
of Rule 17f-2 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 as of
August 31, 2021, with respect to securities reflected in the
investment accounts of the Funds are fairly stated, in all
material respects.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of
management and The Board of Trustees of BNY Mellon
Funds Trust and the Securities and Exchange Commission
and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone
other than these specified parties.
