| Request to Withdraw Registration Statement on Form 8-A filed on March 28, 2013 |
| File No.: 001-11510 |
To the Commission:
On behalf of the Fund, we hereby request the consent of the Securities and Exchange Commission to withdraw the Fund’s Form 8-A filed on March 28, 2013 (Accession No. 0001193125-13-131566). The Fund seeks withdrawal because the Form 8-A filed on March 28, 2013 inadvertently indicated the incorrect exchange on which one of the series of MuniFund Term Preferred Shares of Beneficial Interest is to be registered. The Form 8-A filed on March 28, 2013 has not become effective. A new Form 8-A indicating the correct exchange is concurrently being filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Please direct any questions or comments regarding this filing to Abigail Murray of Vedder Price P.C. at (312) 609-7796.
Sincerely,
Nuveen Arizona Premium Income Municipal Fund
