SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title: EPA

Landfill Methane Outreach Program

(EPA ICR No. 1849.01). This is a new

collection.

Abstract: The Landfill Methane

Outreach Program (LMOP) is an EPAsponsored voluntary program that

encourages landfill owners,

communities, and project developers to

implement methane recovery

technologies to utilize the methane as a

source of fuel and to reduce emissions

of methane, a potent greenhouse gas.

The Landfill Methane Outreach Program

further encourages utilities and other

energy customers to support and

promote the use of landfill methane at

their facilities. The Landfill Methane

Outreach Program signs voluntary

Memoranda of Understanding (MOU)

with these organizations to enlist their

support in promoting cost-effective

landfill gas utilization. The information

collection includes one-time completion

and submission of the MOU, and onetime and periodic completion and

submission of information forms that

include basic information on the

organizations that sign the MOU and

landfill methane projects in which they

are involved. The primary purpose of

the information collection is to evaluate

the success of the LMOP in reducing

methane emissions from landfills.

Responses to the information collection

are voluntary. 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 are listed in 40 CFR part 9

and 48 CFR Chapter 15. The Federal

Register document required under 5

CFR 1320.8(d), soliciting comments on

this collection of information was

published on 2/14/2000 (65 FR 7390);

no comments were received.

Burden Statement: The annual public

reporting and recordkeeping burden for

this collection of information is

estimated to average 4.8 hours per year

per respondent. Burden means the total

time, effort, or financial resources

expended by persons to generate,

maintain, retain, or 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; train personnel to be

able to respond to a collection of

information; search data sources;

information; and transmit or otherwise

companies, End users of energy from the

landfill.

Estimated Number of Respondents:

310 (average over 3 years).

Frequency of Response: Annually and

on occasion.

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:

1,484 hours.

Estimated Total Annualized Capital

and Operating & Maintenance Cost

Burden: $670.

Send comments on the Agency’s need

for this information, the accuracy of the

I. Background

AT&T Corp., a telecommunications

company incorporated in the State of

New York and located at 32 Avenue of

the Americas, New York, New York

10013–2412 failed to prepare SPCC

plans for twenty-four facilities. AT&T

Corp. disclosed, pursuant to the EPA

‘‘Incentives for Self-Policing: Discovery,

Disclosures, Correction and Prevention

of Violations’ (‘‘Audit Policy’’), 60 FR

66,706 (December 22, 1995), that they

failed to prepare SPCC plans for twentyfour facilities where they stored diesel

oil in above ground storage tanks, in

violation of the CWA section 311(b)(3)

and 40 CFR part 112. EPA determined

that AT&T Corp. met the criteria set out

in the Audit Policy for a 100% waiver

of the gravity component of the penalty.

As a result, EPA waived the gravity

based penalty ($137,500.00) and

proposed a settlement penalty amount

of ($24,078.00). This is the amount of

the economic benefit gained by AT&T

Corp., attributable to their delayed

compliance with the SPCC regulations.

AT&T Corp. has agreed to pay this

amount in civil penalties. EPA and

AT&T Corp. negotiated and signed an

administrative consent agreement,

following the Consolidated Rules of

Procedure, 40 CFR section 22.13, on

October 19, 2000 (In Re: AT&T Corp.,

Docket No. MM–HQ–2001–0004). This

consent agreement is subject to public

notice and comment under CWA section

311(b)(6), 33 U.S.C. section 1321(b)(6).

Under CWA section 311(b)(6)(A), 33

U.S.C. 1321 (b)(6)(A), any owner,

operator, or person in charge of a vessel,

onshore facility, or offshore facility from

which oil is discharged in violation of

the CWA section 311 (b)(3), 33 U.S.C.

1321 (b)(3), or who fails or refuses to

comply with any regulations that have

been issued under CWA section 311(j),

33 U.S.C. 1321(j), may be assessed an

administrative civil penalty of up to

$137,500 by EPA. Class II proceedings

under CWA section 311(b)(6) are

conducted in accordance with 40 CFR

part 22.

The procedures by which the public

may comment on a proposed Class II

penalty order, or participate in a Clean

Water Act Class II penalty proceeding,

are set forth in 40 CFR 22.45. The

deadline for submitting public comment

on this proposed final order is

November 27, 2000. All comments will

be transferred to the Environmental

Appeals Board (‘‘EAB’’) of EPA for

consideration. The powers and duties of

the EAB are outlined in 40 CFR 22.04(a).

Pursuant to CWA section 311(b)(6)(C),

EPA will not issue an order in this

proceeding prior to the close of the

public comment period.
