(“Crestwood”), with the Securities and Exchange Commission:

Reference is made to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of August 16, 2023, by and among Crestwood, Energy Transfer LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“Energy Transfer”), Pachyderm Merger Sub LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Energy Transfer (“Merger Sub”), and, solely for the purposes set forth therein, LE GP, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and the sole general partner of Energy Transfer, pursuant to which Crestwood merged with and into Merger Sub (the “Merger”), with Merger Sub continuing as the surviving entity.

On November 3, 2023, in connection with the consummation of the Merger, Crestwood has terminated all offerings of securities pursuant to the Registration Statements. In accordance with the undertakings made by Crestwood in the Registration Statements to remove from registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, any of the securities that had been registered for issuance that remain unsold at the termination of such offerings, Merger Sub, as successor to Crestwood, hereby removes from registration by means of these Post-Effective Amendments all such securities registered but unsold under the Registration Statements as of the date hereof. The Registration Statements are hereby amended, as appropriate, to reflect the deregistration of all such securities and Merger Sub, as successor to Crestwood, hereby terminates the effectiveness of the Registration Statements.
