Item 7.01		Regulation FD Disclosure.

     Holly Energy Partners, L.P. (the “Partnership”) has completed a preliminary evaluation of the potential effects on the Partnership of the February 18, 2008 explosion and fire at Alon USA’s Big Spring refinery. Though Alon has not yet notified us of the effects that the explosion and fire will have on their shipments through our pipelines, it is possible that such shipments could be substantially below normal for some period of time.

     Under our Pipelines and Terminals Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Alon dated February 28, 2005, we are guaranteed volumes that support a minimum revenue commitment. However, under terms of the Agreement, Alon has force majeure rights that would allow them to suspend or reduce their minimum commitment obligation in certain circumstances. Although we have not been notified by Alon of their intent to claim force majeure, it is possible they could do so.

     To mitigate the effect of force majeure and other situations, we have business interruption insurance to address lost revenues from our major customers including Alon. Such coverage is subject to a 45 day deductible period and has a limit of $50 million. Due to this insurance coverage, we believe the extent of our exposure to lower cash flow resulting from the Alon outage should not exceed approximately $2.5 million to $3.0 million.

     The following is a “safe harbor” statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995: The statements in this report on Form 8-K relating to matters that are not historical facts are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws. These statements are based on our beliefs and assumptions using currently available information and expectations as of the date hereof, are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks and uncertainties, including those contained in our filings made from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot assure you that our expectations will prove correct. Therefore, actual outcomes and results could materially differ from what is expressed, implied or forecast in these statements. The forward-looking statements speak only as of the date made and, other than as required by law, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

By filing this report on Form 8-K and furnishing this information, the Partnership makes no admission as to the materiality of any information in this report or that any such information includes material investor information that is not otherwise publicly available.

     The information contained in this report on Form 8-K is intended to be considered in the context of the Partnership’s SEC filings and other public announcements that the Partnership may make, by press release or otherwise from time to time. The Partnership disclaims any current intention to revise or update the information contained in this report although the Partnership may do so from time to time as its management believes is warranted. Any such updating may be made through the furnishing or filing of other reports or documents with the SEC, through press releases or through other public disclosure.
