Item 1.

This Amendment No. 1 (this "Amendment") amends, as set forth below, the statement on Schedule 13D, dated January 1, 2011 and filed with the SEC on January 11, 2011 (the "Original Schedule 13D"), as amended by Amendment No. 1 dated January 5, 2012 and filed with the SEC on January 13, 2012 ("Amendment No. 1") for Bank of America Corporation ("BAC"), Bank of America, N.A. ("BANA") and Blue Ridge Investments, L.L.C. ("Blue Ridge") (collectively, the "Reporting Persons") with respect to the auction rate preferred shares ("ARPS") of Federated Premier Municipal Income Fund (the "Issuer"). The Issuer’s principal executive offices are located at 4000 Ericsson Drive, Warrendale, PA 15086-7561.

This Amendment is being filed as a result of the reorganization of Federated Premier Intermediate Municipal Income Fund (FPT) into the Issuer on November 17, 2017 (the "Reorganization") pursuant to which the BANA and Blue Ridge exchanged their 140 and 405 ARPS, respectively, for an equal number of ARPS of the Issuer. BANA and Blue Ridge already hold, collectively, 618 ARPS of the Issuer (CUSIP No. 31423P)

All series of ARPS issued by the Issuer that vote together as a single class are treated as one class
