DEREGISTRATION
The Program’s Post-Effective Amendment No. 5 to its Registration Statement erroneously stated that 4,544.7 Investor General Partner Units (“Investor General Partner Units” means the investor general partner interests offered to Participants in the Program) remained unsold in the offering when, in fact, only 4,537.2 Investor General Partner Units remained unsold. This Amendment is being filed to correct that error and this Amendment shall supersede Post-Effective Amendment No. 5 in its entirety.
The undersigned hereby removes from registration 4,537.2 Investor General Partner Units, 4, 537.2 Converted Limited Partner Units (“Converted Limited Partner Units” means limited partner units into which the investor general partners automatically would have been converted by the managing general partner with no additional price paid by the investor), and 103.4 Limited Partner Units (“Limited Partner Units” means the limited partner interests offered to Participants in the Program) of the Registrant which remained unsold at the final closing on December 31, 2009 of the offering of Atlas Resources Public #18-2009(C) L.P., the third and final limited partnership in a series of three limited partnerships in the Atlas Resources Public #18-2008 Program. Upon the deregistration of the unsold Units as set forth above, the Program will be terminated.
