Ladies and Gentleman:

On behalf of Crestwood Equity Partners LP (the “Registrant”), and pursuant to Rule 461 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the undersigned hereby requests that the effective date of the above referenced Registration Statement on Form S-3, as amended (the “Registration Statement”) be accelerated to 4:30 p.m. eastern time on June 15, 2016, or as soon thereafter as practicable.

The Registrant hereby acknowledges that the disclosure in the Registration Statement is the responsibility of the Registrant. The Registrant hereby further acknowledges that:

 

•

Should the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, declare the filing effective, it does not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to the filing;

 

•

The action of the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, in declaring the filing effective, does not relieve the Registrant from its full responsibility for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the filing; and

 

•

The Registrant may not assert staff comments and the declaration of effectiveness as a defense in any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the federal securities laws of the United States.

Please call Gillian A. Hobson of Vinson & Elkins L.L.P. at (713) 758-3747 with any questions regarding this matter.
