Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 192 / Wednesday, October 3, 2018 / Notices
Diversion of food waste from landfills is
a critical component of this effort. In
order to effectively divert food waste
from landfills, sufficient capacity to
process the diverted materials is
required. Knowledge of organics
recycling capacity is needed to facilitate
food waste diversion and anaerobic
digestion facilities provide a significant
amount of the needed capacity.
EPA’s food recovery hierarchy
prioritizes potential actions to prevent
and divert wasted food. According to
the hierarchy, processing wasted food
via anaerobic digestion is a more
desirable option than landfilling or
incineration because it creates more
benefits for the environment, society
and the economy. Anaerobic digestion
of food waste and other organic
materials generates renewable energy,
reduces methane emissions to the
atmosphere, and provides opportunities
to improve soil health through the
production of soil amendments. The
SFM program supports these efforts by
educating state and local governments
and communities about the benefits of
wasted food diversion. The SFM
program also builds partnerships with
state agencies and other strategic
partners interested in developing
organics recycling capacity and
provides tools to assist organizations in
developing anaerobic digestion (AD)
projects.
The nationwide collection of data
about AD facilities processing food
waste began in 2017 with a survey of all
known AD facilities under the initial
Information Collection Request (ICR No.
2533.01). EPA published the first annual
report of findings based on this data in
July 2018. This information collection
consists of a request to renew ICR No.
2533.02 in order to continue to monitor
growth and evaluate trends in the
capacity for processing of food waste
and the amount of food waste being
processed via AD in the United States.
Data will be collected using electronic
surveys that will be distributed to
respondents by email and will be
available on EPA’s AD website.

Total estimated cost: $7,594 (per
year), includes $0 annualized capital or
operation & maintenance costs.
Changes in estimates: The overall
burden has slightly decreased from the
original ICR. For this renewal, some
questions have been revised for clarity,
numerous questions have been
eliminated and a series of questions
have been streamlined. The time to
complete the survey will decrease for
operating years 2017, 2018, 2019 and
2020 for Respondents that previously
provided data.
