Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.

On September 12, 2017, Tallgrass Energy Partners, LP (“TEP”) issued a press release announcing the launch of an open season to transport natural gas from the Denver-Julesburg Basin to the Rockies Express Pipeline Cheyenne Hub just south of the Colorado-Wyoming border. A copy of the press release is furnished with this Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated into this Item 7.01 by reference.

Tallgrass Energy GP, LP (“TEGP”), a Delaware limited partnership, is the managing member of and therefore controls Tallgrass Equity, LLC (“Tallgrass Equity”). Tallgrass Equity, in turn, controls TEP through the direct ownership of 100% of Tallgrass MLP GP, LLC (“TEP GP”), TEP’s general partner. As a result, under generally accepted accounting principles, TEGP consolidates Tallgrass Equity, TEP GP, TEP, and TEP’s subsidiaries. TEGP has no operations outside of its indirect ownership interests in TEP.

The information in this Item 7.01 of Form 8-K, including the accompanying Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed to be “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liability of such section, nor shall such information be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Exchange Act, regardless of the general incorporation language of such filing, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
