If you do not believe our comments apply to your facts and circumstances, please tell us why in your response. After reviewing your response to these comments, we may have additional comments. Unless we note otherwise, our references to prior comments are to comments in our June 8, 2022 letter.

Please tell us about and quantify future capital expenditures for climate-related projects, including amounts you have budgeted or expect to incur. 2. Your response to prior comment 3 stating that, to date, "you believe variations in the volumes in overall hydrocarbon products [you] handle have been primarily driven by underlying supply and demand factors and the level of drilling activity in the areas where [you] operate, rather than as a result of direct or indirect consequences of climate-related Willie Chiang Plains GP Holding, L.P. July 25, 2022 Page 2 regulation or business trends" appears inconsistent with your disclosure on page 67 of your Form 10-K that your and your customers operations are subject to a "number of risks arising out of the threat of climate change, energy conservation measures, or initiatives that stimulate demand for alternative forms of energy that could result in ... a reduced demand for the crude oil and natural gas" and that "[t]he potential impact of changing demand for crude oil and natural gas services and products may have a material adverse effect on PAA s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows." As requested in our prior comment, please revise to provide expanded disclosure discussing increased competition to develop innovative new services that result in lower emissions as an indirect consequence of climate-related regulation or business trend. 3.

Please tell us about and quantify weather-related damages to your property or operations and weather-related impacts to the cost of insurance coverage after December 31, 2021.
