TERMINATION OF REGISTRATION STATEMENT AND

DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES

On December 9, 2014, Midcoast Energy Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“MEP”), filed a shelf registration statement on Form S-3, Registration No. 333-200810 (the “Registration Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which was declared effective on February 5, 2015.

The Registration Statement registered the issuance and sale of an indeterminate aggregate principal amount and number of securities of each identified class of securities up to a proposed aggregate offering price of $1,500,000,000, which may be offered from time to time in unspecified numbers and at indeterminate prices, and as may be issuable in exchange for, or upon the exercise, conversion, redemption, repurchase or exercise of any securities registered thereunder (the “Registered Securities”). No Registered Securities were issued under the Registration Statement.

Pursuant to the undertaking contained in the Registration Statement, MEP is filing this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement to terminate the Registration Statement and remove from registration all of the Registered Securities which remain unsold as of the date of this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement.

SIGNATURES

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-3 and has duly caused this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Houston, State of Texas, on February 1, 2016.
