Texas Eastern Products Pipeline Company LLC, the general partner of petroleum and natural gas distributor Teppco Partners LP, spent $40,000 in 2006 to lobby the federal government, according to a disclosure form.
The company lobbied for operations and maintenance funding for the channel at Texas City, Texas, according to the form posted online Thursday by the Senate's public records office.
Texas City has a crude oil marine terminal facility that supplies refineries in the Houston area.
Houston-based Texas Eastern Products Pipeline is an indirect subsidiary of Epco Inc. Teppco operates pipelines between Texas and New York, and in the West and Southwest.
Under a federal law enacted in 1995, lobbyists are required to disclose activities that could influence members of the executive and legislative branches. They must register with Congress within 45 days of being hired or engaging in lobbying.
