Exhibit 99.01

Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policy



|I. | Statement of Principles
|-- | -----------------------

Pursuant to
Section 10A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended by Section 202 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (SOX Act), the Audit Committee of the board of directors (the Audit Committee) of Valero GP Holdings,
LLC (the Company) is required to pre-approve the audit and non-audit services performed by the Companys independent auditor to assure that the provision of such services does not impair the auditors independence. The
SECs rules establish two approaches for pre-approving services. The two approaches are not mutually exclusive:



| |  |  | the Audit Committee may pre-approve each particular service on a case-by-case basis (separate pre-approval), and
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the Audit Committee may adopt a pre-approval policy that is detailed as to the particular types of services that may be provided by the independent auditor without
consideration by the Audit Committee on a case-by-case basis (policy-based pre-approval).
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Audit
Committee believes that a combination of these approaches will provide an effective and efficient procedure to pre-approve services performed by the independent auditor. Therefore, unless a type of service has received policy-based pre-approval (as
specifically identified in the appendices to this policy), it will require separate pre-approval by the Audit Committee.

The appendices to
this policy contain lists of services that have received policy-based pre-approval of this Audit Committee in the following categories (categorized in accordance with the SECs rules):



| |  |  | Audit Services
| | - |  | --------------



| |  |  | Audit-Related Services
| | - |  | ----------------------



| |  |  | Tax Services
| | - |  | ------------



| |  |  | All Other Services
| | - |  | ------------------



|II. | Term of Pre-Approvals
|--- | ---------------------

The term of the
policy-based pre-approvals stated in the appendices to this policy is the period from January 1, 2007 to January 31, 2008, unless the Audit Committee specifically provides for a different period. The Audit Committee will review and
pre-approve, at least annually, the services that may be provided by the independent auditor. The Audit Committee will revise the list of policy-based pre-approved services from time to time as the Committee deems necessary or appropriate.

|III. | Services for whichSeparatePre-Approval is Required
|---- | --------------------------------------------------

The terms and fees for the following services of the independent auditor require separate pre-approval by the Audit Committee:



| |  |  | the annual financial statement audit, including all audits, reviews, procedures and other services required to be performed by the independent auditor to form an
opinion on the Companys consolidated financial statements, and
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the annual audit of the Companys internal control over financial reporting, including all services required to be performed by the independent auditor to
issue its report on (i) managements assessment regarding the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting, and (ii) the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Audit Committee will monitor these engagements as it deems appropriate, and will approve, if necessary, any
changes in terms, conditions and fees resulting from changes in engagement scope, changes in the Companys structure or other matters.



|IV. | Services for whichPolicy-BasedPre-Approval is Available
|--- | -------------------------------------------------------



| | A. | Audit Services
| | -- | --------------

The Audit Committee may grant
policy-based pre-approval for Audit Services other than the services described in Section III above. These Audit Services are generally services that only the Companys independent auditor reasonably can provide, and include:



| |  |  | services associated with SEC registration statements (e.g., comfort letters, consents), periodic reports and other documents filed with the SEC or other
documents issued in connection with securities offerings,
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | statutory audits or financial audits for subsidiaries or affiliates of the Company.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Audit Committee has given policy-based pre-approval for the Audit Services listed in Appendix A. All other Audit Services must be
separately pre-approved by the Audit Committee.



| | B. | Audit-Related Services
| | -- | ----------------------

Audit-Related Services are
assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the annual audit or quarterly review of the Companys financial statements or that are traditionally performed by the independent auditor. The Audit Committee may
grant policy-based pre-approval for Audit-Related Services. These services would include:



| |  |  | employee benefit plan audits,
| | - |  | -----------------------------



| |  |  | due diligence services related to proposed mergers and acquisitions, and
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | assistance with understanding and implementing new accounting and financial reporting guidance from rulemaking authorities.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Audit Committee believes that the provision of the Audit-Related Services listed in
Appendix B does not impair the independence of the auditor, and has given policy-based pre-approval for the Audit-Related Services listed in Appendix B. All other Audit-Related Services must be separately pre-approved by the
Audit Committee.



| | C. | Tax Services
| | -- | ------------

The Audit Committee believes that the
independent auditor can provide Tax Services to the Company such as tax compliance, tax planning and tax advice without impairing the auditors independence. However, the Audit Committee will not permit the retention of the independent auditor
in connection with a transaction initially recommended by the independent auditor, the purpose of which may be tax avoidance and the tax treatment of which may not be supported in the U.S. Internal Revenue Code and related regulations or in the tax
laws and regulations of any jurisdiction in which the Company is subject to taxation. In addition, the independent auditor may not provide any tax services to the Company that are deemed to be incompatible with auditor independence per standards
promulgated by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB).

The Audit Committee has given policy-based pre-approval
for the Tax Services listed in Appendix C. All other Tax Services must be separately pre-approved by the Audit Committee, including Tax Services related to large and complex transactions and Tax Services proposed to be provided by the
independent auditor to any executive officer or director of the Company, in his or her individual capacity, when such services are paid for by the Company.



| | D. | All Other Services
| | -- | ------------------

The Audit Committee may grant
policy-based pre-approval for those permissible non-audit services classified as All Other Services that it believes are routine, recurring services that would not impair the independence of the auditor. The Audit Committee has given policy-based
pre-approval for the All Other Services listed in Appendix D. Any permissible All Other Services that are not listed in Appendix D must be separately pre-approved by the Audit Committee.



|V. | Prohibited Services
|-- | -------------------

A list of the
SECs prohibited non-audit services is attached to this policy as Appendix E. The list sets forth the several services that the SOX Act and the SEC have specifically identified as services that may not be performed by the
Companys independent auditor. The Audit Committee will consult the SECs rules and relevant guidance, with the assistance of counsel when necessary or appropriate, to determine whether any proposed service by the independent auditor falls
within any category of prohibited non-audit services.

In addition, the independent auditor may not provide any service or product to the
Company for a contingent fee (as defined and interpreted by the SEC pursuant to Rule 2-01(c)(5) of Regulation S-X) or a commission, or pursuant to an agreement (written or otherwise) by the Company to pay a value added
fee based on the results of the independent auditors performance of a service.

|VI. | Pre-Approval Fee Levels and Budgeted Amounts
|--- | --------------------------------------------

Pre-approval fee levels or budgeted amounts for all services to be provided by the independent auditor will be established at least annually by the Audit Committee. All services that have received policy-based pre-approval are subject to
the pre-approval fee levels or budgeted amounts set forth in the appendices to this policy. Any proposed services exceeding these amounts will require separate pre-approval by the Audit Committee or by any person to whom pre-approval authority is
granted under Section III above.



|VII. | Procedures
|---- | ----------

Requests or applications to
provide services that require separate approval by the Audit Committee must be submitted to the Audit Committee by both the independent auditor and the Companys Chief Financial Officer (or his designee), and must include a joint statement as
to whether, in their view, the request or application is consistent with the SECs rules on auditor independence. In connection with the Audit Committees consideration of any proposed service, the independent auditor, at the
Committees request, will provide to the Audit Committee detailed documentation regarding the specific services to be provided so that the Committee can make a well-reasoned assessment of the impact of the service on the auditors
independence.

The Audit Committee hereby designates the Companys Director of Internal Audit (the Monitor) to monitor the
performance of all services provided by the independent auditor and to determine whether such services are in compliance with this policy. The Monitor will report to the Audit Committee on a periodic basis the results of her monitoring.
