2024
Background of the Merger, page 28

1.     Refer to the following disclosure throughout this section indicating
that:
           in the fall of 2023, "Parent began considering a potential
transaction to acquire the
          Partnership, and in November 2023, Parent engaged [...] counsel in
connection
          with a potential transaction;"
           on January 3, 2024, the Chief Legal Officer and General Counsel of
Parent and
          the General Partner contacted the Chairman of the Conflicts Committee
"to
          discuss the possibility of the Proposed Transaction and to suggest
that the
          Conflicts Committee commence the process to interview and engage
independent
          financial and legal advisors with respect thereto;"
           in February and March 2024, representatives of Parent engaged in

           with financial advisors regarding the potential to provide financing
for the
           Proposed Transaction; and
             in April and May 2024, representatives of Parent continued
discussions with
           financial advisors regarding the Proposed Transaction.

       Please tell us why the Parent Group Support Entities, Mr. Martin, and
Senterfitt did
       not file an amendment to their respective Schedules 13D until May 24,
2024, the day
       Parent submitted a non-binding proposal to acquire all of the
outstanding Common
       Units.
Reasons for the GP Board's Recommendation, page 56

2.     The factors listed in Instruction 2 to Item 1014 of Regulation M-A and
paragraphs (c),
       (d) and (e) of Item 1014 are generally relevant to each filing person's
fairness
       determination and should be discussed in reasonable detail. See
paragraph (b) of Item
       1014 of Regulation M-A and Questions 20 and 21 of Exchange Act Release
No. 34-
       17719 (April 13, 1981). Please revise this section to include the
factors described in
       paragraphs (c) of Item 1014, as well as clauses (iv) and (vi) of
Instruction 2 to Item
       1014 or explain why such factors were not deemed material or relevant to
the GP
       Board   s fairness determination. If the procedural safeguards in Item
1014(c) were not
       considered, please explain why the GP Board believes the Rule 13e-3
transaction is
       fair in the absence of such safeguards.

       This comment also applies to the disclosure in the section captioned

       Buyer Filing Parties as to the Fairness of the Merger    beginning on
