Item 2(a) Name of Persons Filing:
This 13G is being jointly filed by Tortoise Capital Advisors LLC, a
Delaware limited liability company ("TCA"), and Tortoise Energy Capital
Corporation, a Maryland corporation ("TYY").
TCA and TYY have entered into an Agreement Regarding Joint Filing of 13G
dated October 7, 2005 (the "Agreement") pursuant to which TCA and TYY have
agreed to file this 13G jointly in accordance with the provisions of Rule
13d-1(k)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1940, as amended (the "Act"). A
copy of the Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit A.
Item 2(b) Address of Principal Business Office or, if None, Residence:

corporation.
Item 2(d) Title of Class of Securities:
Common Units representing limited partner interests
Item 2(e) CUSIP Number:
69422R105
Item 3 The Reporting Person is:
TCA is an investment adviser in accordance with ss. 240.13d-1(b)(1)(ii)(E)
and TYY is an investment company registered under Section 8 of the Investment
Company Act of 1940 (15 U.S.C. 80a-8).
Item 4 Ownership:
TCA acts as an investment advisor to TYY, a closed-end investment company
registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940. TCA, by virtue of an
Investment Advisory Agreement with TYY, has all investment and voting power over
securities owned of record by TYY. However, despite its delegation of investment
and voting power to TCA, TYY may be deemed to be the beneficial owner under Rule
13d-3 of the Act, of the securities it owns of record because it has the right
to acquire investment and voting power through termination of the Investment
Advisory Agreement. Thus, TCA and TYY have reported that they share voting power
and dispositive power over the securities owned of record by TYY. In addition to
acting as an investment advisor to TYY, TCA also acts as an investment advisor
to Tortoise Energy Infrastructure Corporation, a closed-end investment company
registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940
("TYG"). TCA, by virtue of an Investment Advisory Agreement with TYG, has all
investment and voting power over securities owned of record by TYG. However,
despite its delegation of investment and voting power to TCA, TYG may be deemed
to be the beneficial owner under Rule 13d-3 of the Act, of the securities it
owns of record because it has the right to acquire investment and voting power
through termination of the Investment Advisory Agreement. Thus, TCA has reported
that it shares voting power and dispositive power over the securities owned of
record by TYG. TCA also acts as an investment advisor to certain managed
accounts. Under contractual agreements with individual account holders, TCA,
with respect to the securities held in the managed accounts, shares investment
and voting power with certain account holders, and has no voting power but
shares investment power with certain other account holders. TCA may be deemed
the beneficial owner of the securities covered by this statement under Rule
13d-3 of the Act. None of the securities listed below are owned of record by
TCA, and TCA disclaims any beneficial interest in such shares.
