Introduction

This Amendment  No. 3 to Schedule 13D (this “Amendment”) amends the Schedule 13D initially filed on June 28, 2007 (the “Initial Schedule 13D”), the Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D filed on December 14, 2007, as well as the Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D filed on January 10, 2008 (collectively, “Schedule 13D”).  Except as provided herein, this Amendment does not modify any of the information previously reported on the Schedule 13D.  Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined have the meaning given to them in the Schedule 13D.

Item 1.   Security and Issuer.
 
Item 1 is hereby amended and restated as follows:
 
This statement on Schedule 13D relates to the common units (the “Common Units”) of Regency Energy Partners LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Issuer”). The principal executive offices of the Issuer are located at 1700 Pacific Avenue, Suite 2900, Dallas, Texas 75201. The total number of Common Units reported as beneficially owned in this Amendment is 22,406,830, which constitutes approximately 35.5% of the total number of Common Units outstanding, with the Class E Units having been converted into Common Units, and assuming the Subordinated Units (defined below) were converted into Common Units.  This number and percentage is comprised of 17,705,796 subordinated units (the “Subordinated Units”), and 4,701,034 Common Units of the Issuer (the “Common Units”).  On April 21, 2008, ASC Hugoton LLC converted 4,701,034 Class E Common Units of the Issuer to 4,701,034 Common Units.  The beneficial ownership reported in this Schedule 13D assumes that at the date hereof there were 45,405,054 Common Units outstanding (not including the Subordinated Units but reflecting the conversion of the Class E units). The Common Units represent limited partner interests in the Issuer.
