Other than this additional compliance disclosure in Item 5. Other Information, no part of the Original Filing is amended hereby, and this amendment does not reflect events that have occurred after the Original Filing date.





Part II





ITEM 5.      OTHER INFORMATION





Compliance Disclosure


Pursuant to Section 13(r) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), if during the quarter ended March 31, 2015 , we or any of our affiliates had engaged in certain transactions with Iran or with persons or entities designated under certain executive orders, we would be required to disclose information regarding such transactions in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as required under Section 219 of the Iran Threat Reduction and Syria Human Rights Act of 2012 (“ITRA”).  During the quarter ended March 31, 2015 , we did not engage in any transactions with Iran or with persons or entities related to Iran.


Blackstone CQP Holdco LP, an affiliate of The Blackstone Group L.P. (“Blackstone Group”), is a holder of approximately 29% of our outstanding equity interests and has three representatives on the Board of Directors of our general partner.  Accordingly, Blackstone Group may be deemed our “affiliate,” as that term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 12b-2.  Blackstone Group has included in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2015 disclosures pursuant to ITRA regarding one of its portfolio companies that may be deemed to be an affiliate of Blackstone Group.  Because of the broad definition of “affiliate” in Exchange Act Rule 12b-2, this portfolio company of Blackstone Group, through Blackstone Group’s ownership of us, may also be deemed to be an affiliate of ours. We have not independently verified the disclosure described in the following paragraph.


Blackstone Group has reported that Travelport Limited (“Travelport”) has engaged in the following activities:  as part of its global business in the travel industry, Travelport provides certain passenger travel related Travel Commerce Platform and Technology Services to Iran Air.  Travelport also provides certain airline Technology Services to Iran Air Tours.   The gross revenues and net profits attributable to such activities by Travelport during the quarter ended March 31, 2015 were reported by Travelport’s parent company, Travelport Worldwide Limited, to be approximately $157,000 and $109,000 , respectively.  Blackstone Group has reported that Travelport intends to continue these business activities with Iran Air and Iran Air Tours as such activities are either exempt from applicable sanctions prohibitions or specifically licensed by the Office of Foreign Assets Control.
