Fidelity Concord Street Trust: Spartan International Index Fund

We have examined the accompanying statement of management of Fidelity Concord Street Trust: Spartan International Index Fund (the "fund") and the assertion of management of Bankers Trust Company, sub-advisor and custodian, (collectively referred to as the "Management Statements") about compliance with the requirements of paragraphs (b) and (c) of Rule 17f-2 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 ("the Act") as of October 30, 1998. Management is responsible for ensuring the fund's compliance with those requirements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Management Statements about the fund's compliance based on our examination.

As stated in their assertion, Bankers Trust Company is currently in discussions with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") about the applicability of the provisions of Rule 17f-2 to international assets custodied in accordance with Rule 17f-5 under the Act. Accordingly, the Management Statements apply only to the fund's securities custodied in the United States (representing approximately 6% of the fund's assets as of October 30, 1998).

Our examination was made in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and, accordingly, included examining, on a test basis, evidence about the fund's compliance with those requirements and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. Included among our procedures were the following tests performed as of October 30, 1998 and with respect to agreement of security purchases and sales, for the period from July 31, 1998 (the date of our last examination) through October 30, 1998:

· Count and inspection of all securities located in the vault of Bankers Trust Company in New York, New York;

· Confirmation of all securities held by institutions in book entry form at The Federal Reserve Bank of New York and The Depository Trust Company;

· Confirmation of all securities hypothecated, pledged, placed in escrow, or out for transfer with brokers, pledgees and/or transfer agents;

· Reconciliation of all such securities to the books and records of the fund and the custodian;

· Confirmation of all repurchase agreements with brokers/banks and agreement of underlying collateral with Bankers Trust records; and

· Agreed selected securities purchased and securities sold or matured since our last report from the books and records of the fund to broker confirms.

We believe that our examination provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Our examination does not provide a legal determination on the fund's compliance with specified requirements.

In our opinion, the Management Statements that the fund was in compliance with the requirements of paragraphs (b) and (c) of Rule 17f-2 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as of October 30, 1998 with respect to the fund's securities custodied in the United States as reflected in the investment account of the fund are fairly stated, in all material respects.

This report is intended solely for the information and use of management of the fund and the Securities and Exchange Commission and should not be used for any other purpose.

We are also responsible for ensuring that Bankers Trust Company ensures that the fund establishes and maintains effective internal controls over compliance with those requirements. We have received the accompanying representation letter from management of Bankers Trust Company dated July 13, 2000 ("Representation Letter") in which Bankers Trust Company represents that it has performed an evaluation of the fund's compliance with the requirements of paragraphs (b) and (c) of Rule 17f-2 and that the fund was in compliance with such requirements as of October 30, 1998 and from July 31, 1998 through October 30, 1998, with respect to the fund's securities custodied in the United States and reflected in the investment account of the fund.

Based solely in reliance on the Representation Letter, we believe that the fund was in compliance with the requirements of paragraphs (b) and (c) of Rule 17f-2 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as of October 30, 1998 and from July 31,1998 through October 30, 1998, with respect to the fund's securities custodied in the United States and reflected in the investment account of the fund.
