       Form 10-K for the Fiscal Year ended December 31, 2022

       Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
       Results of Operations, page 40

   1.                                                   We note that you
identify Product Margin as a non-GAAP measure that is used by
                                                        management to evaluate
the profitability of your commodity-related activities, including
                                                        the gas liquids
blending and fractionation activities of your Refined Products segment.

                                                        You define the measure
as "product sales revenue less cost of product sales" and state that
                                                        "its components are
determined in accordance with GAAP" on page 5 and in earnings
                                                        releases. You also
state on page 39, with reference to the commodity related activities,
                                                        that your measure
"...better represents its importance to our results of operations."

FirstName LastName
         We believe that you will need to revise disclosures in your periodic
filings and earnings
         releases to adhere to the requirements in Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K
and   244.100 of
         Regulation G. For example, you must present the most directly
comparable GAAP-based
         measure with equal or greater prominence and include a reconciliation
between these
         measures to comply with paragraphs (1)(i)(A) and (B) of this guidance.

         We believe that gross margin (or gross profit), as described in the
FASB Master Glossary,
         would be the most directly comparable GAAP-based measure.

         Your characterization of Product Margin as better representing the
importance of your
         commodity related activities is contrary to this guidance and should
therefore be tempered
         with reference and contrast to the GAAP-based measure of gross margin
(or gross profit).

         Your description of the components as being determined in accordance
with GAAP also
         appears to be contrary to general requirements pertaining to costs of
tangible goods sold,
         considering the associated guidance on inventory and contract
accounting in FASB ASC
         330-10-30-1 and 340-40-25-7, and the presentation guidance in Rule
5-03.2 of Regulation
         S-X. The cost of product sales utilized in your non-GAAP measure and
presented in your
         Statements of Income on page 56 and associated tabulations on pages 40
and 60-
         67 appears to be incomplete. For example, we note that you have
excluded depreciation
         and amortization. It is also unclear whether some portion of costs
reported as operating
         would be attributable to cost of product sales under applicable GAAP.

         Please modify the associated disclosures to clarify that you are using
an incomplete
         measure and expand your accounting policy disclosures in Note 2 to
describe the
         composition of costs reported as "Operating" and "Cost of product
sales."

         While you may present attributable costs separately, you would need to
follow the
         labeling conventions described in SAB Topic 11:B, to specify or
identify the separately
         reported attributable amounts in your presentation.

         Please submit the revisions that you propose to address the concerns
outlined above, and
         explain to us how you evaluated the amounts reported as Operating in
determining the
         extent to which those amounts are attributable to Cost of product
sales.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash Flows and Capital Expenditures, page 45

2.       We note that you attribute the change in operating cash flows to
non-specific changes in
         working capital accounts and income from continuing operations and
provide a general
         reference to adjustments made in reconciling net income to operating
cash flows for non-
         cash items and distributions from non-controlled entities.

         Please expand your disclosure to provide a more informative analysis
and discussion of
         changes in operating cash flows, to more clearly convey the underlying
reasons for, and

         implications of, material changes between periods and to provide
investors with an
         understanding of trends and variability in cash flows.

         Please consider the nature of activity that would be reported under
the direct method of
         presenting operating cash flows pursuant to FASB ASC 230-10-45-25, and
the guidance
         in Section IV.B.1 of SEC Release 33-8350, in formulating your
disclosures, and submit
         the revisions that you proposed to address this concern.

       In closing, we remind you that the company and its management are
responsible for the
accuracy and adequacy of their disclosures, notwithstanding any review,
comments, action or
absence of action by the staff.

       You may contact Sondra Snyder, Staff Accountant at (202) 551-3332, or
Robert Babula,
Staff Accountant at (202) 551-3339 with any questions.
