Item 8.01. Other Events.

The Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) mailed a “Notice of Beginning of Administrative Proceeding” to Holly Energy Partners, L.P. (the “Partnership”) dated December 18, 2013 stating that the IRS is commencing an audit of the Partnership’s 2011 partnership tax return (the “NBAP”). The Partnership understands this to be a routine audit of various items of partnership income, gain, deductions, losses and credits. The audit is in its preliminary stages so it is not known whether the IRS will propose any adjustments to the Partnership’s tax returns, whether such adjustments would be material, or how such adjustments would affect unitholders. The Partnership is making this disclosure, on behalf of the Partnership’s tax matters partner, to satisfy the IRS requirement that a copy of the NBAP is provided to certain of the Partnership’s partners. The Partnership, through its tax matters partner and tax advisers, will cooperate with the IRS examiners auditing the Partnership’s 2011 partnership tax return. Unitholders should consult their tax advisers if they have any questions. A copy of the NBAP is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated by reference into this Item 8.01 in its entirety.

Item 9.01 Financial Statements and Exhibits.
