Re:             U.S. Bank National Association (the “Applicant”)
File No. 812-14551
Ladies and Gentleman:
We respectfully request, on behalf of the Applicant, that the second amended and restated application (the “Application”) requesting an order from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), pursuant to Section 6(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), exempting the Applicant from the requirements of Rule 3a-7(a)(4)(i) under the 1940 Act, be withdrawn.  The Application was filed with the Commission on September 23, 2015 (Accession No. 0000905148-15-000851) as a new application instead of as an amendment under existing File No. 812-14404 as intended.  Applicant intends to re-file the Application correctly as an amendment.
Should members of the Commission’s staff have any questions or comments concerning this letter, please call the undersigned at (212) 839-5572 or Brian M. Kaplowitz at 212 839 5370.
  Very truly yours,
 
  /s/ Michael P. McGarry
