Partners, L.P., To Withdraw Its Common Units (Representing Limited 
Partnership interests), From Listing and Registration on the American 
Stock Exchange LLC, File No. 1-14998

May 19, 2004.
    On May 7, 2004, Atlas Pipeline Partners, L.P., a Delaware 
corporation (``Issuer''), filed an application with the Securities and 
Exchange Commission (``Commission''), pursuant to Section 12(d) of the 
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (``Act'')\1\ and Rule 12d2-2(d) 
thereunder,\2\ to withdraw its common units (representing limited 
partnership interests) (``Security''), from listing and registration on 
the American Stock Exchange LLC (``Amex'' or ``Exchange'').

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78l(d).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.12d2-2(d).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Managing Board of the Issuer's general partner (``Board'') 
unanimously approved a resolution on May 3, 2004 to withdraw the 
Issuer's Security from listing on the Amex, and to list the Security on 
the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. (``NYSE''). The Board states that it 
is taking such action to avoid the direct and indirect costs, and the 
division of the market, resulting from dual listing on the Amex and 
NYSE. In addition, the Board determined that it is in the best interest 
of the Issuer to list the Security on the NYSE.
    The Issuer stated in its application that it has met the 
requirements of Amex Rule l8 by complying with all applicable laws in 
the State of Delaware, in which it is incorporated, and with the Amex's 
rules governing an issuer's voluntary withdrawal of a security from 
listing and registration.
    The Issuer's application relates solely to the withdrawal of the 
Security from listing on the Amex, and shall not affect its continued 
listing on the NYSE or its obligation to be registered under Section 
12(b) of the Act.\3\
