Abstract: The Landfill Methane
Outreach Program (LMOP), created by
EPA as part of the United States’
commitment to reduce greenhouse gas
emissions under the United Nations
Framework Convention on Climate
Change, is a voluntary program
designed to encourage and facilitate the
development of environmentally and
economically sound landfill gas (LFG)
energy projects across the United States
to reduce methane emissions from
landfills. LMOP meets these objectives
by educating local governments and
communities about the benefits of LFG
recovery and use; building partnerships
between state agencies, industry, energy
service providers, local communities,
and other stakeholders interested in
developing this valuable resources in
their community; and providing tools to
evaluate LFG energy potential. LMOP
signed voluntary Memoranda of
Understanding (MOUs) with these
organizations to enlist their support in
promoting cost-effective LFG utilization.

Jkt 238001
The information collection includes
completion and submission of the MOU,
periodic information updates, and
annual completion and submission of
basic information on landfill methane
projects with which the organizations
are involved as an effort to update the
LMOP Landfill and Landfill Gas Energy
Project Database. The information
collection is to be utilized to maintain
up-to-date data and information about
LMOP Partners and LFG energy projects
with which they are involved. The data
will also be used by the public to access
LFG energy project development
opportunities in the United States. In
addition, the information collection will
assist LMOP in evaluating the reduction
of methane emissions from landfills.
Form Numbers: 5900–157, 5900–158,
5900–159, 5900–160, 5900–161, and
5900–162.
Respondents/affected entities: Private
companies and municipalities that own
or operate landfills; manufacturers and
suppliers of equipment/knowledge to
capture and utilize LFG; utility
companies; end-users of energy from
landfills; developers of LFG energy
projects; State agencies; and other LFG
energy stakeholders.
Respondent’s obligation to respond:
Voluntary.
Estimated number of respondents:
1,135.
Frequency of response: On occasion.
Total estimated burden: 2,522 hours
(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR
1320.03(b).
Total estimated cost: $196,272 (per
year), includes $0 annualized capital or
operation & maintenance costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is a
decrease of 1,694 hours in the total
estimated respondent burden compared
with the ICR currently approved by
OMB. This decrease is due to revised
estimates of respondent participation
and attrition.
