Shareholder
Letter
Dear
Shareholder:
During
the
six
months
ended
November
30,
2020,
reported
first-
and
second-quarter
2020
data
indicated
the
U.S.
economy
contracted
in
response
to
the
novel
coronavirus
(COVID-19)
pandemic.
In
2020’s
third
quarter,
the
economy
recovered
substantially
based
on
increased
business
and
residential
investment
and
consumer
spending.
Before
the
reporting
period,
the
U.S.
Federal
Reserve,
in
its
efforts
to
support
U.S.
economic
activity,
lowered
the
federal
funds
rate
twice
in
March
2020
and
implemented
broad
quantitative
easing
measures
to
support
credit
markets.
During
the
reporting
period,
the
Federal
Reserve
held
its
key
rate
unchanged
at
0.25%,
but
it
continued
quantitative
easing
and
adjusted
its
policy
in
August
2020
to
allow
more
flexibility
to
keep
interest
rates
low,
while
maintaining
a
2%
average
inflation
target.
During
the
six-month
period,
municipal
bonds
posted
positive
total
returns
as
investors
were
attracted
to
tax-free
income
in
a
low
interest-rate
environment.
Factors
contributing
to
this
positive
investment
environment
for
municipals
included
relatively
low
inflation,
interest-rate
stability
and
recent
actions
by
the
Federal
Reserve
to
support
the
municipal
bond
market.
On
July
1,
2020,
we
appointed
Ben
Barber
as
senior
vice
president
and
director
of
our
municipal
bond
department,
and
we
are
pleased
that
he
has
rejoined
Franklin.
Ben
most
recently
served
as
co-head
of
municipal
bonds
at
Goldman
Sachs
Asset
Management.
Ben
started
his
career
of
over
28
years
of
municipal
bond
investing
at
Franklin
in
1991,
working
with
several
current
investment
team
members
through
1999,
when
he
joined
Goldman
Sachs.
Franklin
New
York
Tax-Free
Income
Fund’s
semiannual
report
includes
more
detail
about
municipal
bond
market
conditions
and
a
discussion
from
the
portfolio
managers.
In
addition,
on
our
website,
franklintempleton.com
,
you
can
find
updated
commentary
by
our
municipal
bond
experts.
Municipal
bonds
provide
tax-free
income
and
diversification
from
equities.
Despite
periods
of
volatility,
municipal
bonds
historically
have
had
a
solid
long-term
record
of
performance,
driven
mostly
by
their
compounding
tax-free
income
component.
As
you
may
know,
all
securities
markets
fluctuate,
as
do
mutual
fund
share
prices.
As
always,
we
recommend
investors
consult
their
financial
advisors
to
help
them
make
the
best
decisions
for
the
long
term.
In
a
constantly
changing
market
environment,
we
remain
committed
to
our
disciplined
strategy
as
we
manage
the
Fund,
keeping
in
mind
the
trust
you
have
placed
in
us.
We
appreciate
your
confidence
in
us
and
encourage
you
to
contact
us
or
your
financial
advisor
when
you
have
questions
about
your
Franklin
tax-free
investment.
Sincerely,
Rupert

Johnson,

Municipal
Bond
Market
Overview
During
the
six
months
ended
November
30,
2020,
technical
conditions
in
the
municipal
(muni)
bond
market
and
reduced
political
uncertainty
supported
valuations
in
the
sector.
Ratios
of
muni
bond
versus
U.S.
Treasury
(UST)
yields
have
improved
significantly
since
the
market
dislocations
seen
in
March
2020
and
are
approaching
levels
last
seen
at
the
beginning
of
the
year.
The
muni
bond
market
has
experienced
continual
inflows
of
money
into
retail
vehicles
with
low
net
supply
of
tax-exempt
bonds.
Issuers
have
increasingly
turned
to
the
taxable
muni
bond
market
to
refund
tax-exempt
debt
and
new
issuance.
These
taxable
structures
provide
low
all-in
borrowing
costs
and,
in
some
instances,
reduced
covenants.
With
the
probability
of
a
contested
U.S.
presidential
election
diminishing,
in
our
view,
additional
federal
fiscal
stimulus
appears
increasingly
likely
to
us.

analysis.
When
ratings
from
multiple
agencies
are
available,
the
highest
is
used,
consistent
with
the
portfolio
investment
process.
Ratings
reflect
an
NRSRO’s
opinion
of
an
issuer’s
creditworthiness
and
typically
range
from
AAA
(highest)
to
D
(lowest).
The

BBB-.
The

For
investors
subject
to
alternative
minimum
tax,
a
small
portion
of
Fund
dividends
may
be
taxable.
Distributions

are
generally
taxable.
To
avoid
the
impo-
sition
of
28%
backup
withholding
on
all
Fund
distributions
and
redemption
proceeds,
U.S.
investors
must

runoff
elections

the
state
of
Georgia
and
will
likely
affect
the
size
and
composition
of
any
supplemental
funds
provided
to
muni
bond
issuers.
For
a
number
of
state
and
local
governments,
revenues
have
exceeded
projections
as
states
reopened
portions
of
their
economies,
but
large
deficits
are
still
anticipated.
Additionally,
rising
new
novel
coronavirus
(COVID-19)
infection
rates
throughout
the
U.S.
have
the
potential
to
restrict
additional
economic
activity
as
consumer
sentiment
waned
toward
the
end
of
the
period.
In
the
six-month
period
ending
in
November
2020,
revenue
bonds
outperformed
general
obligation
securities
and
lower-
quality
investment-grade
issues
outperformed
their
higher-
rated
counterparts.
Within
the
revenue
bond
segments,
hospital
and
leasing
bonds
were
the
best
performers,
while
resource
recovery
bonds
had
positive
returns
but
lagged
other
revenue
segments.
The
Investment
Company
Institute
(ICI)
reported
net
inflows
of
approximately
$5
billion
into
muni
bond
retail
vehicles
in
November
2020.
For
the
six-month
period,
muni
bond
retail
vehicles
saw
approximately
$48
billion
of
net
inflows,
according
to
the
ICI.
U.S.
fixed
income
sectors
broadly
underperformed
relative
to
equities
during
the
period,
as
measured
by
the
Standard
&
Poor’s
®
500
Index
(S&P
500
®
),
which
posted
a
+19.98%
total
return
for
the
period.

Investment-grade
muni
bonds,
as
measured
by

while
USTs,
as

and

as
measured

posted
a
+6.22%

3
Although
the
muni
bond
market
has
seen
a
strong
recovery
since
March
2020,
we
believe
robust
technical
support
will
continue
as
funds
flow
into
the
market,
with
negative
net
issuance
supporting
valuations.
It
is
our
view
that,
despite
the
ongoing
pandemic
and
its
resulting
economic
downturn,
a
second
market
disruption
related
to
COVID-19
is
unlikely
to
unfold
in
the
muni
bond
market.
Most
municipalities
were
in
good
financial
shape
entering
the
COVID-19
shock
and
backed
their
muni
bond
borrowings
with
very
high
security.
Additionally,
most
governments
with
outstanding
debt
have
a
large
variety
of
revenue
sources
that
enhance
the
likelihood
of
meeting
their
financial
obligations.
State
Update
New
York’s
large
and
diverse
economy,
which
generates
above-average
income
and
wealth
levels,
struggled
during
the
six-month
period
amid
the
COVID-19
pandemic.
The
virus
hit
New
York
City,
the
state’s
economic
engine,
particularly
hard.
Public
health
measures
to
contain
the
pandemic
early
in
the
year
contributed
to
widespread
job
losses,
and
New
York’s
economic
recovery
has
been
slower
than
in
most
other
states.
The
state’s
unemployment
rate
of
14.5%
in
May
2020
decreased
to
8.4%
by
period-end,
which
still
exceeded
the
6.7%
national
rate.
4
New
York’s
fiscal
year
2021
budget
faces
lower
revenue
and
increased
spending
due
to
COVID-19’s
economic
and
public
health
implications.
Medicaid
spending
growth
also
pressured
the
budget,
which
provided
new
powers
for
the
governor
and
budget
director
to
balance
the
budget.
New
York’s
net
tax-supported
debt
was
moderately
high
at
$3,314
per
capita
and
4.6%
of
personal
income,
compared
with
the
$1,071
and
2.0%
national
medians,
respectively.
5
Independent
credit
rating
agency
Moody’s
Investors
Service
downgraded
its
rating
to
Aa2
on
New
York’s
general
obligation
debt
in
October
while
raising
its
outlook
from
negative
to
stable.
6
Moody’s
downgrade
reflected
the
disproportionate
impact
of
COVID-19
on
the
state’s
economy,
the
state’s
relatively
slow
recovery,
new
long-term
budget
gaps,
and
growing
health
care
and
education
costs
amid
uncertain
federal
funding.
The
rating
also
recognizes
positive
factors
like
the
state’s
large
and
diverse
economy,
moderate
leverage,
budget
management
tools
and
history
of
closing
budget
gaps.
Investment
Strategy
We
select
securities
we
believe
will
provide
the
best
balance
between
risk
and
return
within
the
Fund’s
range
of
allowable
investments
and
typically
use
a
buy-and-hold
strategy.
This
means
we
generally
hold
securities
in
the
Fund’s
portfolio
for
income
purposes,
rather
than
trading
securities
for
capital
gains,
although
we
may
sell
a
security
at
any
time
if
we
believe
it
could
help
the
Fund
meet
its
goal.

Manager’s
Discussion
The
combination
of
our
value-oriented
philosophy
of
investing
primarily
for
income
and
a
positive-sloping
municipal
yield
curve,
in
which
interest
rates
for
longer-term
bonds
are
higher
than
those
for
shorter-term
bonds,
led
us
to
favor
longer-term
bonds
during
the
reporting
period.
Consistent
with
our
strategy,
we
sought
to
remain
close
to
fully
invested
in
bonds
ranging
from
20
to
30
years
in
maturity
with
good
call
features.
In
line
with
our
relative
value
investment
strategy,
and
to
further
reduce
volatility,
we
avoided
derivative
securities
and
other
investment
vehicles
designed
to
leverage
the
portfolio.
During
the
period,
the
Fund
had
no
exposure
to
inverse
floaters
or
any
other
form
of
leverage.
We
believe
our
conservative,
buy-and-hold
investment
strategy
can
help
us
achieve
high,
current,
tax-
free
income
for
shareholders.
Thank
you
for
your
continued
participation
in
Franklin
New
York
Tax-Free
Income
Fund.
We
look
forward
to
serving
your
future
investment
needs.

foregoing

Summary

franklintempleton.com
Semiannual
Report
Each
class
of
shares
is
available
to
certain
eligible
investors
and
has
different
annual
fees
and
expenses,
as
described
in
the
prospectus.
All
investments
involve
risks,
including
possible
loss
of
principal.
Because
municipal
bonds
are
sensitive
to
interest-rate
movements,
the
Fund’s
yield
and
share
price
will
fluctuate
with
market
conditions.
Bond
prices
generally
move
in
the
opposite
direction
of
interest
rates.
Thus,
as
prices
of
bonds
in
the
Fund
adjust
to
a
rise
in
interest
rates,
the
Fund’s
share
price
may
decline.
Because
the
Fund
invests
principally
in
a
single
state,
it
is
subject
to
greater
risk
of
adverse
economic
and
regulatory
changes
in
that
state
than
a
geographically
diversified
fund.
Changes
in
the
credit
rating
of
a
bond,
or
in
the
credit
rating
or
financial
strength
of
a
bond’s
issuer,
insurer
or
guarantor,
may
affect
the
bond’s
value.
The
Fund
may
invest
a
significant
part
of
its
assets
in
municipal
securities
that
finance
similar
types
of
projects,
such
as
utilities,
hospitals,
higher
education
and
transportation.
A
change
that
affects
one
project
would
likely
affect
all
similar
projects,
thereby
increasing
market
risk.
Unexpected
events
and
their
aftermaths,
such
as
the
spread
of
deadly
diseases;
natural,
environmental
or
man-made
disasters;
financial,
political
or
social
disruptions;
terrorism
and
war;
and
other
tragedies
or
catastrophes,
can
cause
investor
fear
and
panic,
which
can
adversely
affect
the
economies
of
many
companies,
sectors,
nations,
regions
and
the
market
in
general,
in
ways
that
cannot
necessarily
be
foreseen.
The
Fund’s
prospectus
also
includes
a
description
of
the
main
investment
risks.
1.
Cumulative
total
return
represents
the
change
in
value
of
an
investment
over
the
periods
indicated.
2.
Average
annual
total
return
represents
the
average
annual
change
in
value
of
an
investment
over
the
periods
indicated.
Return
for
less
than
one
year,
if
any,
has
not
been
annualized.
3.
Effective
9/10/18,
Class
A
shares
closed
to
new
investors,
were
renamed
Class
A1
shares,
and
a
new
Class
A
share
with
a
different
expense
structure
became
available.
Class
A
performance
shown
has
been
calculated
as
follows:
(a)
for
periods
prior
to
9/10/18,
a
restated
figure
is
used
based
on
the
Fund’s
Class
A1
performance
that
includes
any
Rule
12b-1
rate
differential
that
exists
between
Class
A1
and
Class
A;
and
(b)
for
periods
after
9/10/18,
actual
Class
A
performance
is
used,
reflecting
all
charges
and
fees
applicable
to
that
class.
4.
Prior
to
3/1/19,
these
shares
were
offered
at
a
higher
initial
sales
charge
of
4.25%,
thus
actual
returns
(with
sales
charges)
would
have
differed.
Average
annual
total
returns
(with
sales
charges)
have
been
restated
to
reflect
the
current
maximum
initial
sales
charge
of
3.75%.
5.
Distribution
rate
is
based
on
an
annualization
of
the
respective
class’s
November
dividend
and
the
maximum
offering
price
(NAV
for
Advisor
Class)
per
share
on
11/30/20.
6.
Taxable
equivalent
distribution
rate
and
yield
assume
the
published
rates
as
of
6/18/20
for
the
maximum
combined
effective
federal
and
New
York
state
and
City
personal
income
tax
rate
of
53.50%,
based
on
the
federal
income
tax
rate
of
37.00%
plus
3.80%
Medicare
tax.
7.
The
Fund’s
30-day
standardized
yield
is
calculated
over
a
trailing
30-day
period
using
the
yield
to
maturity
on
bonds
and/or
the
dividends
accrued
on
stocks.
It
may
not
equal
the
Fund’s
actual
income
distribution
rate,
which
reflects
the
Fund’s
past
dividends
paid
to
shareholders.
8.
Figures
are
as
stated
in
the
Fund’s
current
prospectus
and
may
differ
from
the
expense
ratios
disclosed
in
the
Your
Fund’s
Expenses
and
Financial
Highlights
sections
in
this
report.
In
periods
of
market
volatility,
assets
may
decline
significantly,
causing
total
annual
Fund
operating
expenses
to
become
higher
than
the
figures
shown.

Semiannual
Report
As
a
Fund
shareholder,
you
can
incur
two
types
of
costs:
(1)
transaction
costs,
including
sales
charges
(loads)
on
Fund
purchases
and
redemptions;
and
(2)
ongoing
Fund
costs,
including
management
fees,
distribution
and
service
(12b-1)
fees,
and
other
Fund
expenses.
All
mutual
funds
have
ongoing
costs,
sometimes
referred
to
as
operating
expenses.
The
table
below
shows
ongoing
costs
of
investing
in
the
Fund
and
can
help
you
understand
these
costs
and
compare
them
with
those
of
other
mutual
funds.
The
table
assumes
a
$1,000
investment
held
for
the
six
months
indicated.
Actual
Fund
Expenses
The
table
below
provides
information
about
actual
account
values
and
actual
expenses
in
the
columns
under
the
heading
“Actual.”
In
these
columns
the
Fund’s
actual
return,
which
includes
the
effect
of
Fund
expenses,
is
used
to
calculate
the
“Ending
Account
Value”
for
each
class
of
shares.
You
can
estimate
the
expenses
you
paid
during
the
period
by
following
these
steps
(
of
course,
your
account
value
and
expenses
will
differ
from
those
in
this
illustration
):
Divide
your
account
value
by
$1,000
(
if
your
account
had
an
$8,600
value,
then
$8,600
÷
$1,000
=
8.6).
Then
multiply
the
result
by
the
number
in
the
row
for
your
class
of
shares
under
the
headings
“Actual”
and
“Expenses
Paid
During
Period”
(
if
Actual
Expenses
Paid
During
Period
were
$7.50,
then
8.6
x
$7.50
=
$64.
50
).
In
this
illustration,
the
actual
expenses
paid
this
period
are
$64.50.
Hypothetical
Example
for
Comparison
with
Other
Funds
Under
the
heading
“Hypothetical”
in
the
table,
information
is
provided
about
hypothetical
account
values
and
hypothetical
expenses
based
on
the
Fund’s
actual
expense
ratio
and
an
assumed
rate
of
return
of
5%
per
year
before
expenses,
which
is
not
the
Fund’s
actual
return.
This
information
may
not
be
used
to
estimate
the
actual
ending
account
balance
or
expenses
you
paid
for
the
period,
but
it
can
help
you
compare
ongoing
costs
of
investing
in
the
Fund
with
those
of
other
funds.
To
do
so,
compare
this
5%
hypothetical
example
for
the
class
of
shares
you
hold
with
the
5%
hypothetical
examples
that
appear
in
the
shareholder
reports
of
other
funds.
Please
note
that
expenses
shown
in
the
table
are
meant
to
highlight
ongoing
costs
and
do
not
reflect
any
transactional
costs.
Therefore,
information
under
the
heading
“Hypothetical”
is
useful
in
comparing
ongoing
costs
only,
and
will
not
help
you
compare
total
costs
of
owning
different
funds.
In
addition,
if
transactional
costs
were
included,
your
total
costs
would
have
been
higher.
1.
Expenses
are
equal
to
the
annualized
expense
ratio
for
the
six-month
period
as
indicated
above—in
the
far
right
column—multiplied
by
the
simple
average
account
value
over
the
period
indicated,
and
then
multiplied
by
183/365
to
reflect
the
one-half
year
period.

Semiannual
Report
1.
Organization
and
Significant
Accounting
Policies
Franklin
New
York
Tax-Free
Income
Fund (Fund)
is
registered
under
the
Investment
Company
Act
of
1940
(1940
Act)
as
an
open-end
management
investment
company
and
applies
the
specialized
accounting
and
reporting
guidance
in
U.S.
Generally
Accepted
Accounting
Principles
(U.S.
GAAP).
The
Fund
offers
five
classes
of
shares:
Class
A,
Class
A1,
Class
C,
Class
R6
and
Advisor
Class.
Class
C
shares
automatically
convert
to
Class
A
shares
after
they
have
been
held
for
10
years.
Each
class
of
shares
may
differ
by
its
initial
sales
load,
contingent
deferred
sales
charges,
voting
rights
on
matters
affecting
a
single
class,
its
exchange
privilege
and
fees
due
to
differing
arrangements
for
distribution
and
transfer
agent
fees. 
The
following
summarizes
the Fund's
significant
accounting
policies.
a.
Financial
Instrument
Valuation 
The
Fund's
investments
in
financial
instruments
are
carried
at
fair
value
daily.
Fair
value
is
the
price
that
would
be
received
to
sell
an
asset
or
paid
to
transfer
a
liability
in
an
orderly
transaction
between
market
participants
on
the
measurement
date.
The
Fund
calculates
the
net
asset
value
(NAV)
per
share
each business
day as
of
4
p.m.
Eastern
time
or
the
regularly
scheduled
close
of
the
New
York
Stock
Exchange
(NYSE)
whichever
is
earlier.
Under
compliance
policies
and
procedures
approved
by
the
Fund's
Board
of
Trustees
(the
Board),
the Fund's
administrator
has
responsibility
for
oversight
of
valuation,
including
leading
the
cross-functional
Valuation
Committee
(VC).
The
Fund
may
utilize
independent
pricing
services,
quotations
from
securities
and
financial
instrument
dealers,
and
other
market
sources
to
determine
fair
value.
Debt
securities
generally
trade
in
the
over-the-counter
(OTC)
market
rather
than
on
a
securities
exchange.
The
Fund's
pricing
services
use
multiple
valuation
techniques
to
determine
fair
value.
In
instances
where
sufficient
market
activity
exists,
the
pricing
services
may
utilize
a
market-based
approach
through
which
quotes
from
market
makers
are
used
to
determine
fair
value.
In
instances
where
sufficient
market
activity
may
not
exist
or
is
limited,
the
pricing
services
also
utilize
proprietary
valuation
models
which
may
consider
market
characteristics
such
as
benchmark
yield
curves,
credit
spreads,
estimated
default
rates,
anticipated
market
interest
rate
volatility,
coupon
rates,
anticipated
timing
of
principal
repayments,
underlying
collateral,
and
other
unique
security
features
in
order
to
estimate
the
relevant
cash
flows,
which
are
then
discounted
to
calculate
the
fair
value. 
The
Fund
has
procedures
to
determine
the
fair
value
of
financial
instruments
for
which
market
prices
are
not
reliable
or
readily
available.
Under
these
procedures,
the Fund
primarily
employs
a
market-based
approach
which
may
use
related
or
comparable
assets
or
liabilities,
recent
transactions,
market
multiples,
book
values,
and
other
relevant
information
for
the
investment
to
determine
the
fair
value
of
the
investment.
An
income-based
valuation
approach
may
also
be
used
in
which
the
anticipated
future
cash
flows
of
the
investment
are
discounted
to
calculate
fair
value.
Discounts
may
also
be
applied
due
to
the
nature
or
duration
of
any
restrictions
on
the
disposition
of
the
investments.
Due
to
the
inherent
uncertainty
of
valuations
of
such
investments,
the
fair
values
may
differ
significantly
from
the
values
that
would
have
been
used
had
an
active
market
existed.
b.
Securities
Purchased
on
a
When-Issued
Basis
Certain
or
all
Funds
purchase
securities
on
a
when-issued
basis,
with
payment
and
delivery
scheduled
for
a
future
date.
These
transactions
are
subject
to
market
fluctuations
and
are
subject
to
the
risk
that
the
value
at
delivery
may
be
more
or
less
than
the
trade
date
purchase
price.
Although
the
Fund
will
generally
purchase
these
securities
with
the
intention
of
holding
the
securities,
it
may
sell
the
securities
before
the
settlement
date.
c.
Income
Taxes
It
is the Fund's
policy
to
qualify
as
a
regulated
investment
company
under
the
Internal
Revenue
Code. The Fund
intends
to
distribute
to
shareholders
substantially
all
of
its
income
and
net
realized
gains
to
relieve
it
from
federal
income
and excise
taxes.
As
a
result,
no
provision
for
U.S.
federal
income
taxes
is
required.
The
Fund
may
recognize
an
income
tax
liability
related
to
its
uncertain
tax
positions
under
U.S.
GAAP
when
the
uncertain
tax
position
has
a
less
than
50%
probability
that
it
will
be
sustained
upon
examination
by
the
tax
authorities
based
on
its
technical
merits.
As
of
November
30,
2020,
the
Fund
has
determined
that
no
tax
liability
is
required
in
its
financial
statements
related
to
uncertain
tax
positions
for
any
open
tax
years
(or
expected
to
be
taken
in
future
tax
years).

tax
years
are
those
that
remain
subject
to
examination
and
are
based
on
the
statute
of
limitations
in
each
jurisdiction
in
which
the
Fund
invests. 
d.
Security
Transactions,
Investment
Income,
Expenses
and
Distributions
Security
transactions
are
accounted
for
on
trade
date.
Realized
gains
and
losses
on
security
transactions
are
determined
on
a
specific
identification
basis.
Interest
income
and
estimated
expenses
are
accrued
daily.
Amortization
of
premium
and
accretion
of
discount
on
debt
securities
are
included
in
interest
income
Dividends
from
net
investment
income
are
normally
declared
daily;
these
dividends
may
be
reinvested
or
paid
monthly
to
shareholders.
Distributions
from realized
capital
gains
and
other
distributions,
if
any,
are
recorded
on
the
ex-dividend
date.
Distributable
earnings
are
determined
according
to
income
tax
regulations
(tax
basis)
and
may
differ
from
earnings
recorded
in
accordance
with
U.S.
GAAP.
These
differences
may
be
permanent
or
temporary.
Permanent
differences
are
reclassified
among
capital
accounts
to
reflect
their
tax
character.
These
reclassifications
have
no
impact
on
net
assets
or
the
results
of
operations.
Temporary
differences
are
not
reclassified,
as
they
may
reverse
in
subsequent
periods.
Realized
and
unrealized
gains
and
losses
and
net
investment
income,
excluding
class
specific
expenses,
are
allocated
daily
to
each
class
of
shares
based
upon
the
relative
proportion
of
net
assets
of
each
class.
Differences
in
per
share
distributions
by
class
are
generally
due
to
differences
in
class
specific
expenses.
e.
Insurance
The
scheduled
payments
of
interest
and
principal
for
each
insured
municipal
security
in
the
Fund
are
insured
by
either
a
new
issue
insurance
policy
or
a
secondary
insurance
policy.
Depending
on
the
type
of
coverage,
premiums
for
insurance
are
either
added
to
the
cost
basis
of
the
security
or
paid
by
a
third
party.
Insurance
companies
typically
insure
municipal
bonds
that
tend
to
be
of
very
high
quality,
with
the
majority
of
underlying
municipal
bonds
rated
A
or
better.
However,
an
event
involving
an
insurer
could
have
an
adverse
effect
on
the
value
of
the
securities
insured
by
that
insurance
company.
There
can
be
no
assurance
the
insurer
will
be
able
to
fulfill
its
obligations
under
the
terms
of
the
policy.
f.
Accounting
Estimates
The
preparation
of
financial
statements
in
accordance
with
U.S.
GAAP
requires
management
to
make
estimates
and
assumptions
that
affect
the
reported
amounts
of
assets
and
liabilities
at
the
date
of
the
financial
statements
and
the
amounts
of
income
and
expenses
during
the
reporting
period.
Actual
results
could
differ
from
those
estimates.
g.
Guarantees
and
Indemnifications
Under
the
Fund's
organizational
documents,
its
officers
and
trustees
are
indemnified
by
the
Fund
against
certain
liabilities
arising
out
of
the
performance
of
their
duties
to
the
Fund.
Additionally,
in
the
normal
course
of
business,
the
Fund
enters
into
contracts
with
service
providers
that
contain
general
indemnification
clauses.
The
Fund's
maximum
exposure
under
these
arrangements
is
unknown
as
this
would
involve
future
claims
that
may
be
made
against
the
Fund
that
have
not
yet
occurred.
Currently,
the
Fund
expects
the
risk
of
loss
to
be
remote.

Transfer
Agent
Fees
Each
class
of
shares pays
transfer
agent
fees
to
Investor
Services
for
its
performance
of
shareholder
servicing
obligations.
The
fees
are
based
on
an
annualized
asset
based
fee
of
0.02%
plus
a
transaction
based
fee.
In
addition,
each
class reimburses
Investor
Services
for
out
of
pocket
expenses
incurred
and,
except
for
Class
R6,
reimburses
shareholder
servicing
fees
paid
to
third
parties.
These
fees
are
allocated
daily
based
upon
their
relative
proportion
of
such
classes'
aggregate
net
assets.
Class
R6
pays
Investor
Services
transfer
agent
fees
specific
to
that
class.
For
the
period
ended
November
30,
2020,
the
Fund
paid
transfer
agent
fees
of
$1,184,620,
of
which $604,359
was

f.
Waiver
and
Expense
Reimbursements
Investor
Services

advance
to
waive
or
limit
its
fees
so
that
the
Class
R6

agent
fees
do
not
exceed
0.03%
based
on
the
average
net
assets
of
the
class
until
September
30,
2021.
Investor
Services
may
discontinue
this
waiver
in
the

The Fund has
entered
into
an
arrangement
with
its
custodian
whereby
credits
realized
as
a
result
of
uninvested
cash
balances
are
used
to
reduce
a
portion
of
the
Fund's
custodian
expenses.
During

the
custodian
fees
were

Transactions
Purchases
and

of

(excluding

Concentration
of
Risk
The
Fund
invests
a
large
percentage
of
its total
assets
in
obligations
of
issuers
within
New
York
and
U.S.
territories.
Such
concentration
may
subject
the
Fund
to
risks
associated
with
industrial
or
regional
matters,
and
economic,
political
or
legal
developments
occurring
within
New
York.
In
addition,
investments
in
these
securities
are
sensitive
to
interest
rate
changes
and
credit
risk
of
the
issuer
and
may
subject
the
Fund
to
increased
market
volatility.
The
market
for
these
investments
may
be
limited,
which
may
make
them
difficult
to
buy
or
sell.
8.
Novel
Coronavirus
Pandemic 
The
global
outbreak
of
the
novel
coronavirus
disease,
known
as
COVID-19, has
caused
adverse
effects
on
many
companies,
sectors,
nations,
regions
and
the
markets
in
general, and
may
continue for
an unpredictable duration.
The
effects
of
this
pandemic
may
materially
impact
the
value
and
performance
of
the Fund, its ability
to
buy
and
sell
fund
investments
at
appropriate
valuations
and its ability
to
achieve its investment
objectives.
9.
Credit
Facility
The
Fund,
together
with
other
U.S.
registered
and
foreign
investment
funds
(collectively,
Borrowers),
managed
by
Franklin
Templeton,
are
borrowers
in
a
joint
syndicated
senior
unsecured
credit
facility
totaling
$2
billion
(Global
Credit
Facility)
which
matures
on
February
5,
2021.
This
Global
Credit
Facility
provides
a
source
of
funds
to
the
Borrowers
for
temporary
and
emergency
purposes,
including
the
ability
to
meet
future
unanticipated
or
unusually
large
redemption
requests.
Under
the
terms
of
the
Global
Credit
Facility,
the
Fund
shall,
in
addition
to
interest
charged
on
any
borrowings
made
by
the
Fund
and
other
costs
incurred
by
the Fund,
pay
its
share
of
fees
and
expenses
incurred
in
connection
with
the
implementation
and
maintenance
of
the
Global
Credit
Facility,
based
upon
its
relative
share
of
the
aggregate
net
assets
of
all
of
the
Borrowers,
including
an
annual
commitment
fee
of
0.15%
based
upon
the
unused
portion
of
the
Global
Credit
Facility.
These
fees
are
reflected
in
other
expenses
in
the
Statement
of
Operations.
During
the
period
ended
November
30,
2020,
the Fund
did
not
use
the
Global
Credit
Facility.
10.
Fair
Value
Measurements
The
Fund
follows
a
fair
value
hierarchy
that
distinguishes
between
market
data
obtained
from
independent
sources
(observable
inputs)
and
the Fund's
own
market
assumptions
(unobservable
inputs).
These
inputs
are
used
in
determining
the
value
of
the
Fund’s
financial
instruments
and
are
summarized
in
the
following
fair
value
hierarchy:
Level
1
quoted
prices
in
active
markets
for
identical
financial
instruments
Level
2
other
significant
observable
inputs
(including
quoted
prices
for
similar
financial
instruments,
interest
rates,
prepayment
speed,
credit
risk,
etc.)

Reference
Rate
Reform
(Topic
848)
Facilitation
of
the
Effects
of
Reference
Rate
Reform
on
Financial
Reporting.
The
amendments
in
the
ASU
provides
optional
temporary
financial
reporting
relief
from
the
effect
of
certain
types
of
contract
modifications
due
to
the
planned
discontinuation
of
LIBOR
and
other
interbank-offered
based
reference
rates
as
of
the
end
of
2021.
The
ASU
is
effective
for
certain
reference
rate-related
contract
modifications
that
occur
during
the
period
March
12,
2020
through
December
31,
2022. Management
has
reviewed
the
requirements
and
believes
the
adoption
of
this
ASU
will
not
have
a
material
impact
on
the
financial
statements.

Subsequent
Events
The
Fund
has

determined
that
no

that
require
