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. VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:38 Feb 11, 2016 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. Courtney Kerwin, Acting Director, Collection Strategies Division.
