Item 8.01. Other Events.

     On July 13, 2006, Enterprise Products Partners L.P. (the “Partnership”), its subsidiary operating partnership, Enterprise Products Operating L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”), and their respective general partners entered into an underwriting agreement relating to the public offering of $300,000,000 principal amount of the Operating Partnership’s 8.375% Fixed/Floating Rate Junior Subordinated Notes due 2066 (the “LoTS^SM”). The LoTS^SM are guaranteed on a subordinated basis by the Partnership (the “Guarantee,” and together with the LoTS^SM, the “Securities”). A copy of the Underwriting Agreement is filed as Exhibit 1.1 hereto. Closing of the issuance and sale of the Securities occurred on July 18, 2006.

     The Securities were issued pursuant to the Indenture dated as of October 4, 2004 (the “Base Indenture”) among the Operating Partnership, as issuer, the Partnership, as parent guarantor, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), as supplemented by the Eighth Supplemental Indenture dated July 18, 2006 among the Operating Partnership, as issuer, the Partnership, as parent guarantor, and the Trustee (the “Supplemental Indenture,” and together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”). The Indenture allows the Operating Partnership to elect to defer interest payments on the LoTS^SM on one or more occasions for up to ten consecutive years subject to certain conditions. The Indenture also provides that, unless (1) all deferred interest on the LoTS^SM has been paid in full as of the most recent interest payment date, (2) no event of default under the Indenture has occurred and is continuing and (3) the Partnership is not in default of its obligations under the Guarantee, then the Operating Partnership and the Partnership may not declare or make any distributions with respect to any of their respective equity securities or make any payments on indebtedness or other obligations that rank pari passu with or subordinate to the LoTS^SM. Reference is hereby made to the Indenture and the Supplemental Indenture, which are filed as Exhibits 4.1 and 4.2, respectively, hereto, for the complete terms of the LoTS^SM .

     In connection with the issuance of the LoTS^SM the Operating Partnership entered into a Replacement Capital Covenant in favor of the covered debtholders named therein pursuant to which the Operating Partnership agreed for the benefit of such debtholders that it would not redeem or repurchase the LoTS^SM unless such redemption or repurchase is made from the proceeds of the issuance of certain securities more fully described therein. Reference is hereby made to the Replacement Capital Covenant, which is filed as Exhibit 99.1 hereto, for the complete terms of the Replacement Capital Covenant.

     On July 14, 2006, the Partnership filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a prospectus supplement dated July 13, 2006 to the accompanying base prospectus dated March 23, 2005 included in the Partnership’s and the Operating Partnership’s registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration Nos. 333-123150 and 333-123150-01), as amended. The prospectus supplement was filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(5) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in connection with the above described offering. Certain opinions related to such registration statement and the offering are filed as exhibits to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
