Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Shareholders:
Prudential Investment Portfolios, Inc. 15:

In planning and performing our audits of the financial 
statements of Prudential High Yield Fund and Prudential Short 
Duration High Yield Income Fund (the "Funds"), each a series of 
Prudential Investment Portfolios, Inc. 15, as of and for the 
year ended August 31, 2017, in accordance with the standards of 
the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), 
we considered the Funds' internal control over financial 
reporting, including controls over safeguarding securities, as a 
basis for designing our auditing procedures for the purpose of 
expressing our opinion on the Funds' financial statements and to 
comply with the requirements of Form N-SAR, but not for the 
purpose of expressing opinions on the effectiveness of the 
Fund's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, 
we express no such opinion.

Management of the Funds is responsible for establishing and 
maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting. 
In fulfilling this responsibility, estimates and judgments by 
management are required to assess the expected benefits and 
related costs of controls. A company's internal control over 
financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable 
assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and 
the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in 
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A 
company's internal control over financial reporting includes 
those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the 
maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately 
and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the 
assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that 
transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of 
financial statements in accordance with generally accepted 
accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the 
company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of 
management and directors of the company; and (3) provide 
reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of 
unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's 
assets that could have a material effect on the financial 
statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over 
financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. 
Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future 
periods are subject to the risk that controls may become 
inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree 
of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. 

A deficiency in internal control over financial reporting exists 
when the design or operation of a control does not allow 
management or employees, in the normal course of performing 
their assigned functions, to prevent or detect misstatements on 
a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a 
combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial 
reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a 
material misstatement of the Funds' annual or interim financial 
statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.


Our consideration of the Funds' internal control over financial 
reporting was for the limited purpose described in the first 
paragraph and would not necessarily disclose all deficiencies in 
internal control that might be material weaknesses under 
standards established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight 
Board (United States). However, we noted no deficiencies in the 
Funds' internal control over financial reporting and its 
operation, including controls over safeguarding securities that 
we consider to be a material weakness as defined above as of 
August 31, 2017.

This report is intended solely for the information and use of 
management and the Board of Directors of the Funds and the 
Securities and Exchange Commission and is not intended to be and 
should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.
