Dear Ms. Ransom:

Pursuant to Rule 461 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Suburban Propane Partners, L.P. (“Suburban”) and Suburban Energy Finance Corp. (“Suburban Finance”, and together with Suburban, the “Company”) hereby request acceleration of the effective date of the above-referenced Registration Statement on Form S-4, File No. 333-183987 (the “Registration Statement”) so that it may become effective at 12:00 noon Eastern Time on Tuesday, November 13, 2012, or as soon thereafter as practicable.

The Company hereby acknowledges that:

(a) should the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) or its staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, declare the Registration Statement effective, it does not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to the Registration Statement;

The Company requests that it be notified of such effectiveness by a telephone call to Charles E. Dropkin, Esq., an attorney with the Company’s outside legal counsel, Proskauer Rose LLP, at (212) 969-3535.
