Cotton Valley Compression, L.L.C.; Notice of Compressor Change 
Tariff, Rate, and Environmental Filing

October 22, 2002.
    Take notice that on October 16, 2002, Cotton Valley Compression, 
L.L.C. (Cotton Valley), filed in Docket Nos. CP99-541-003 and RP03-28-
000 a report (1) describing the first change of leased compressor 
units, (2) recomputing the stated rates to reflect the cost and 
capacity impacts of that compressor change, (3) replacing specific 
tariff sheets to reflect those revised rates, and (4) satisfying 
environmental conditions attached to its original certificate of public 
convenience and necessity issued in 2000. 90 FERC ] 61,206.
    In that certificate besides authorizing Cotton Valley's 1,200 
horsepower of installed leased compression with a capacity of 13,100 
Dth/d, the Commission authorized it to operate leased compressors up to 
3,000 horsepower with a capacity of up to 31,000 Dth/d, without further 
certification or abandonment for changes up or down within this upper 
level, subject to certain conditions.
    In pertinent part Cotton Valley reports that: (1) it replaced the 
600 horsepower Waukesha Dresser unit with a single 1,350 horsepower CAT 
3516, with 1,950 horsepower of combined compression and a maximum firm 
capacity of 17,800 Dth/day; (2) it certifies that, with the new leased 
compressor configuration described above, the previously determined 
acceptable air emission level of less than 100 TPY combined has not 
been exceeded; (3) it shows that the 1999 compressor noise reading of 
Ldn of 46 dBA at the nearby noise sensitive areas (NSA) for the 
original 1,200 hp three-unit configuration has been reduced to an Ldn 
of 40.5 dBA at the NSA; (4) it both computes new rates and revises 
tariff sheets to reflect revised FT base reservation rate which drops 
from $0.86 to $0.6406 per Dth per month, and the revised FT deferred 
compressor surcharge which increases from $0.9258 to $1.354 per Dth per 
month, with comparable IT rate revisions.
    The following revised tariff sheets are being filed:

First Revised Sheet No. 2 superceding Original Sheet No. 2
First Revised Sheet No. 4 superceding Original Sheet No. 2

    Cotton Valley requests that these sheets be made effective on 
November 15, 2002.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to protest said filing should 
file a motion to intervene or a protest with the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426, in
