In connection with the Registration Statement, I draw your attention to the following matters:

 

·                  The original notes, in the aggregate principal amount of $250 million, were sold in a transaction not subject to the registration requirements of the Securities Act in reliance upon the exemption provided in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 144A and Regulation S thereunder.

 

·                  The Registrants are registering the Exchange Offer in reliance on the Staff’s position enunciated in Exxon Capital Holdings Corp., SEC No-Action Letter (May 13, 1988), Morgan Stanley & Co. Inc., SEC No-Action Letter (June 5, 1991), Shearman & Sterling, SEC No-Action Letter (July 2, 1993) and similar no-action letters. In this regard, I enclose a supplemental letter from Crosstex Energy, L.P. and Crosstex Energy Finance
