FERC Policy Revision to Have No Material Impact to Enterprise Financial Results

HOUSTON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Enterprise Products Partners L.P. (NYSE:EPD) announced that revisions
announced today by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (“FERC”)
with regard to its 2005 policy for recovery of income taxes are not
expected to have a material impact to the earnings and cash flow of
Enterprise. The FERC announced today that it would revise its 2005
Policy Statement for Recovery of Income Tax costs so that it no longer
will allow interstate pipelines owned by master limited partnerships to
recover an income tax allowance in the cost of service.

“We do not expect the revisions to the FERC’s policy on the recovery of
income taxes to materially impact our earnings and cash flow,” said A.J.
“Jim” Teague, chief executive officer of Enterprise’s general partner.
“The cost-based tariff rates that are in effect for all of our
interstate pipelines are based on a cost of service for those pipelines
whereby the disallowance for the recovery of an income tax allowance
will not have a material effect, if any, to the posted tariffs.”
