ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND
FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
None
ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the
Partnership’s reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and
reported, within the time periods specified by the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that
information required to be disclosed in the Partnership’s reports under the Exchange Act is accumulated and
communicated to management, including the President and Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial
Officer of Sunoco Partners LLC (the Partnership’s general partner), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions
regarding required disclosure.
As of December 31, 2012, the Partnership carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the
participation of management of the general partner (including the President and Chief Executive Officer and the
Chief Financial Officer), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Partnership’s disclosure controls
and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15. Based upon that evaluation, the general partner’s
President and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Partnership’s disclosure
controls and procedures were effective.
Management of the general partner is responsible for establishing, maintaining, and annually assessing
internal control over the Partnership’s financial reporting. A report by the general partner’s management,
assessing the effectiveness of the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting, appears under Item 8.
“Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” of this report. Ernst & Young LLP, the Partnership’s
independent registered public accounting firm, has issued an attestation report on the Partnership’s internal
control over financial reporting, that also appears under Item 8. of this report.
No change in the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting has occurred during the fiscal
quarter ended December 31, 2012 that has materially affected, or that is reasonably likely to materially affect, the
Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting.
