                                            Exhibit B


        In response to Item 37 of the Form 312, Koch Pipeline Company, L.P. (“Koch”) provides
the following information:


Felony Plea of Koch Industries, Inc.: On September 19, 1980, Koch Industries, Inc. (“KII”),
an entity that indirectly controls Koch Pipeline Company, L.P., was sentenced to a $50,000 fine
by the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado. The sentence was the result of Koch
Industries’ plea agreement resolving charges that it and other defendants had manipulated a
lottery administered by the Federal Bureau of Land Management by submitting more
applications for oil and gas leases than the rules permitted. Although the incident in question
occurred 30 years ago, Koch Pipeline Company, L.P. is making this disclosure out of an
abundance of caution.


        In 2005, as part of an Enforcement Bureau Notice of Inquiry (“NOI”), KII advised the
Commission of the 1980 felony conviction, and explained that this conviction inadvertently was
not disclosed in certain KII subsidiary FCC license application filings. As a result, in 2006, the
Enforcement Bureau and KII resolved the investigation by entering into a Consent Decree. As
part of that Consent Decree, the Commission agreed to terminate its NOI and not to pursue
further enforcement action against KII and its subsidiary companies for violation of Section 1.17
of the rules, which requires truthful answers to the felony conviction question. (See Koch
Industries, Inc., Order, File No. EB-05-IH-0717, rel. March 23, 2006 (Chief, Enforcement
Bureau).
