Abstract: EPA created ENERGY STAR 

as a voluntary program to help 

businesses and individuals protect the 

environment through superior energy 

efficiency. The program focuses on 

reducing utility-generated emissions by 

reducing the demand for energy. In 

1991, EPA launched the Green Lights 

Program to encourage corporations, state 

and local governments, colleges and 

universities, and other organizations to 

adopt energy-efficient lighting as a 

profitable means of preventing pollution 

and improving lighting quality. Since 

then, EPA has rolled Green Lights into 

ENERGY STAR and expanded ENERGY 

STAR to encompass organization-wide 

energy performance improvement, such 

as building technology upgrades, 

product purchasing initiatives, and 

employee training. At the same time, 

EPA has streamlined the reporting 

requirements of ENERGY STAR and 

focused on providing incentives for 

improvements (e.g., ENERGY STAR 

Awards Program). 

To join ENERGY STAR, organizations 

are asked to complete a Partnership 

Letter or Agreement that establishes 

their commitment to energy efficiency. 

Partners agree to undertake efforts such 

as measuring, tracking, and 

benchmarking their organization’s 

energy performance by using tools such 

as those offered by ENERGY STAR; 

developing and implementing a plan to 

improve energy performance in their 

facilities and operations by adopting a 

strategy provided by ENERGY STAR; 

and educating staff and the public about 

their Partnership with ENERGY STAR, 

and highlighting achievements with the 

ENERGY STAR, where available. In 

addition, Partners and any other 

interested party can evaluate the 

efficiency of their buildings using EPA’s 

online tools (e.g., Portfolio Manager) 

and apply for recognition.

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. 

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.
