Purpose of Transaction..

Karpus, an independent registered investment advisor, with a specialty focus in closed-end funds, believes that the profile of the Issuer fit the investment guidelines for various Accouts. Shares have been acquired since January 27, 2014.

On March 20, 2017, Karpus sent a letter containing a 14a-8 stockholder proposal to the Issuer requesting that the Board of Trustees consider authorizing a self-tender for all outstanding Shares of the Issuer at or close to net asset value. A copy of the letter is attached as Exhibit 99.1.

The Reporting Persons purchased the Shares based on the Reporting Persons' belief that the Shares, when purchased, were undervalued and represented an attractive investment opportunity. Depending upon overall market conditions, other investment opportunities available to the Reporting Persons, and the availability of Shares at prices that would make the purchase or sale of Shares desirable, the Reporting Persons may endeavor to increase or decrease their position in the Issuer through, among other things, the purchase or sale of Shares on the open market or in private transactions or otherwise, on such terms and at such times as the Reporting Persons may deem advisable.

No Reporting Person has any present plan or proposal which would relate to or result in any of the matters set forth in subparagraphs (a) - (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D except as set forth herein or such as would occur upon or in connection with completion of, or following, any of the actions discussed herein. The Reporting Persons intend to review their investment in the Issuer on a continuing basis. In addition, Karpus may contact the Issuer with regards to concerns that they have with respect to the Issuer.

Item 5.

Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

The aggregate percentage of Shares reported owned by each Reporting Person is based upon 6,982,324 Shares outstanding, which is the total number of Shares outstanding as of November 30, 2016 as reported in the Issuer’s Annual Report to Shareholders, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on February 2, 2017.

EXHIBIT 99.1

14a-8 Shareholder Proposal Sent to the Fund on March 20, 2017


VIA FEDERAL EXPRESS 								March 20, 2017

John W. McGonigle, Secretary
Federated Premier Intermediate Municipal Income Fund
4000 Ericcson Drive
Warrendale, PA 15086-7561

Re:	Federated Premier Intermediate Municipal Income Fund ("FPT" or the "Fund")

Mr. McGonigle:

This letter shall serve as notice to the Federated Premier Intermediate Municipal Income Fund ("FPT" or the "Fund"), as to Karpus Management, Inc.'s ("Karpus") timely submittal of a shareholder proposal pursuant to Rule 14a-8 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 for presentation to FPT shareholders at the Fund's next annual shareholders' meeting anticipated to be held in September 2017, or any postponement or adjournment thereof (the "Meeting").

Karpus' non-binding 14a-8 shareholder proposal (the "Proposal") is as follows:

BE IT RESOLVED,

Supporting Statement

and the recognition that any such discount may not be in the interest of shareholders, the fund's board might consider from time to time engaging in open-market repurchases, tender offers for common shares or other programs intended to reduce the discount

the board might also consider converting the fund to an open-end mutual fund, which would also require a vote of the shareholders of the fund

Sources: Closed-end Fund Assocaition, Lipper Classification Average for Intermediate Municipal Debt Funds and Bloomberg Finance, L.P. Data through 3/17/2017.

The Fund's persistent discount and repeated underperformance compared to its Lipper peer group clearly show that our proposal should be approved and implemented by the Board. If put in place and a majority of outstanding shares are tendered, this would indicate that shareholders do not support the Fund continuing in its closed-end fund format.

The Fund and Board are likely to come up with a litany of arguments against our Proposal but the simple fact of the matter is that the Board has not been able to effectively manage the Fund's discount, nor have they taken action to address Federated Investment Management Company's perpetual underperformance.

Now is the time for action! Please vote FOR Karpus' Proposal and let the Board know that the status quo is not acceptable.

END OF PROPOSAL

As is required by Rule 14a-8, attached as Exhibits 1 and 2 are letters from U. S. Bank N.A. and the "record" holder of the referenced shares, verifying that the referenced shares were continuously and beneficially owned, and had a market value of $2,000 or more, for at least a one year period prior to the date of the submittal of the above Proposal. Karpus intends to hold the shares referenced through the date of the Meeting.

Please advise us immediately if this notice is deficient in any way or if any additional information is required so that Karpus may promptly provide it in order to cure any deficiency.

Sincerely,


/s/ Brett D. Gardner
