Item 5.05

Amendment to the Registrant’s Code of Ethics, or Waiver of a Provision of the Code of Ethics.

On January 8, 2015, QEP Midstream Partners LP (the “Partnership”) adopted a Code of Business Conduct (the “Code”) and a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics for Senior Financial Executives (the “Code for Senior Financial Executives”). The Code applies to all of the Partnership's directors, officers and employees, and supersedes the Partnership's prior Code of Business Conduct and Ethics. The adopted Code for Senior Financial Executives applies to the Chief Executive Officer; President; Chief Financial Officer; head of Finance; Controller; and persons performing similar functions. The revised Code and the Code for Senior Financial Executives are substantially similar to the codes of business conduct utilized by Tesoro Logistics LP and Tesoro Corporation the ultimate parent companies of the Partnership’s general partner. Copies of the Code and the Code for Senior Financial Executives, as revised, are located on the Partnership’s website at www.qepm.com.

The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Code and the Code for Senior Financial Executives which are filed as Exhibit 14.1 and Exhibit 14.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
