Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

Summit Midstream Partners, LP (the “Partnership”) requests acceleration of the effective date of the above-captioned Registration Statement to 3:00 p.m., Washington, D.C. time, on November 8, 2013, or as soon as practicable thereafter.

 

The Partnership hereby 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 Partnership from its full responsibility for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the filing; and

 

·                              the Partnership 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.

 



 

 

Very truly yours,
