Registration Statement on Form S-1

File No. 333-198990

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Pursuant to discussions with the staff of the Division of Corporation Finance (the “Staff”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), Columbia Pipeline Partners LP (the “Partnership”) hereby submits the proposed offering terms of the initial public offering (the “Offering”), including the bona fide price range pursuant to Item 503(b)(3) of Regulation S-K. These pricing terms will be included in a future amendment to the Registration Statement on Form S-1, File No. 333-198990 (the “Registration Statement”). The provided terms are a bona fide estimate of the range of the minimum and maximum offering price and the maximum number of securities to be offered as of December 31, 2014. Should the bona fide estimates of these terms change, the figures presented in future amendments to the Registration Statement may increase or decrease.

The Partnership proposes to price the Offering with a bona fide price range of $19.00 to $21.00 per common unit, with a mid-point of $20.00 per common unit. In the Offering, the Partnership proposes to sell up to 40,000,000 common units representing limited partner interests in the Partnership. As discussed with members of the Staff, this range is initially being provided for your consideration by correspondence due to the Partnership’s and the underwriters’ concern regarding providing such information in advance of the launch of the Offering given recent market volatility, as well as the Partnership’s desire to provide all information necessary for the Staff to complete its review on a timely basis.
