Title: Landfill Methane Outreach 

Program (Renewal). 

ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 

1849.06, OMB Control Number 2060– 

0446. 

ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to 

expire on 04/30/2012. Under OMB 

regulations, the Agency may continue to 

conduct or sponsor the collection of 

information while this submission is 

pending at OMB. An Agency may not 

conduct or sponsor, and a person is not 

required to respond to, a collection of 

information, unless it displays a 

currently valid OMB control number. 

The OMB control numbers for EPA’s 

regulations in title 40 of the CFR, after 

appearing in the Federal Register when 

approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, 

and are displayed either by publication 

in the Federal Register or by other 

appropriate means, such as on the 

related collection instrument or form, if 

applicable. The display of OMB control 

numbers in certain EPA regulations is 

consolidated in 40 CFR part 9. 

Abstract: The Landfill Methane 

Outreach Program (LMOP), created by 

EPA as part of the Climate Change 

Action Plan, 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 

in order to reduce methane emissions 

from landfills. LMOP does this 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 resource in 

their community; and providing tools to 

evaluate LFG energy potential. LMOP 

signs voluntary Memoranda of 

Understanding (MOU) with these 

organizations to enlist their support in 

promoting cost-effective LFG utilization. 

The information collection includes 

completion and submission of the MOU, 

and annual completion and submission 

of information forms that include basic 

information on LFG energy 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 assess 

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. 

Responses to the information collection 

are voluntary. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 3 hours for each 

respondent. Burden means the total 

time, effort, or financial resources 

expended by persons to generate, 

maintain, retain, and disclose or provide 

information to or for a Federal agency. 

This includes the time needed to review 

instructions; develop, acquire, install, 

and utilize technology and systems for 

the purposes of collecting, validating, 

and verifying information, processing 

and maintaining information, and 

disclosing and providing information; 

adjust the existing ways to comply with 

any previously applicable instructions 

and requirements which have 

subsequently changed; train personnel 

to be able to respond to a collection of 

information; search data sources; 

complete and review the collection of 

information; and transmit or otherwise 

disclose the information. 

Respondents/Affected Entities: 

Landfill owners and operators (both 

public and private), LFG energy project 

developers, manufacturers and 

suppliers of LFG energy equipment, 

utilities, industries using LFG energy, 

state agencies involved in energy, air 

pollution, economic development and 

solid waste management, and nonprofits involved in the solid waste 

management, public works, local 

government and renewable energy 

sectors. 

Estimated Total Number of Potential 

Respondents: 1,220 existing Partners 

plus 113 new Partners per year. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 

4,216 hours. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost: 

$334,332, which includes $334,298 in 

labor costs and $34 for operational and 

maintenance costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is a 

decrease of 1,671 hours in the total 

estimated annual respondent burden 

compared with the burdens identified in 

the existing ICR approved by OMB. The 

existing approved ICR included a onetime, large-scale outreach to 1,000 

additional landfill owners and 

operators. This activity and group of 

entities are not included in the scope of 

this ICR renewal, resulting in the overall 

decreases in total hours and hours per 

respondent. This change is the result of 

a program change. However, in the last 

approved ICR, Energy Partners were not 

requested to update landfill gas energy 

project data, and under this renewal, 

Energy Partners will be requested to 

provide updates on their involvement in 

these projects. Also, there has been 

growth in the number of overall Partners 

since the last renewal. These changes 

offset the magnitude of the overall 

burden decrease. There have been no 

major changes in how the information 

forms or MOU are dispersed or collected 

since the last renewal. LMOP has 

previously implemented simplifications 

and other changes to increase the 

efficiency of its ICR process.

to an authorized AM station as a 

condition for its acceptance if new or 

modified nighttime operation by a Class 

B station is proposed. 47 CFR 73.37(f) 

requires applicants seeking facilities 

modification that would result in 

spacing that fail to meet any of the 

separation requirements to include a 

showing that an adjustment has been 

made to the radiated signal which 

effectively results in a site-to-site 

radiation that is equivalent to the 

radiation of a station with standard 

Model I facilities. FCC staff use the data 

to ensure that objectionable interference 

will not be caused to other authorized 

AM stations.

Total annual costs: $3,750. 

Privacy Impact Assessment(s): No 

impact(s). 

Needs and Uses: 47 CFR 73.213 

requires licensees of grandfathered 

short-spaced FM stations seeking to 

modify or relocate their stations to 

provide a showing demonstrating that 

there is no increase in either the total 

predicted interference area or the 

associated population (caused or 

received) with respect to all 

grandfathered stations or increase the 

interference caused to any individual 

stations. Applicants must demonstrate 

that any new area predicted to lose 

service as a result of interference has 

adequate service remaining. In addition, 

licensees are required to serve a copy of 

any application for co-channel or firstadjacent channel stations proposing 

predicted interference caused in any 

area where interference is not currently 

predicted to be caused upon the 

licensee(s) of the affected short-spaced 

station(s). Commission staff uses the 

data to determine if the public interest 

will be served and that existing levels of 

interference will not be increased to 

other licensed stations. Providing copies 

of application(s) to affected licensee(s) 

will enable potentially affected parties 

to examine the proposals and provide 

them an opportunity to file informal 

objections against such applications.
