Title
of
the
Information
Collection
This
information
collection
is
entitled
"
The
Landfill
Methane
Outreach
Program",
ICR
number
1849.01.

Short
Characterization/
Abstract
The
Landfill
Methane
Outreach
Program
(
LMOP),
created
by
EPA
as
part
of
President
Clinton's
Climate
Change
Action
Plan,
is
a
voluntary
program
designed
to
encourage
and
facilitate
the
development
of
environmentally
and
economically
sound
landfill
gas­
to­
energy
(
LFGTE)

projects
across
the
United
States.
The
LMOP
does
this
by
educating
local
governments
and
communities
about
the
benefits
of
landfill
gas
recovery
and
building
partnerships
between
state
agencies,
industry,
energy
service
providers,
local
communities,
and
other
stakeholders
interested
in
developing
this
valuable
resource
in
their
community.
To
continue
to
be
successful,
it
is
critical
that
LMOP
gather
information
from
its
allies
and
partners
about
their
activities
and
how
the
program
can
improve
its
support
to
them.

Allies
and
partners
are
entities
that
have
volunteered
to
participate
in
the
LMOP.
The
EPA
has
identified
four
categories
of
allies
and
partners:

°
community
partners;

°
State
allies;

°
industry
allies;
and
°
energy
allies.

Community
partners
are
local
agencies
or
municipalities
that
own
landfills.
Industry
allies
are
further
divided
into
two
groups:
non­
developers
are
manufacturers
and
suppliers
of
equipment
and
expertise
needed
to
collect
and
utilize
landfill
gas,
developers
are
organizations
that
facilitate,

finance,
and
implement
LFGTE
projects.
Energy
allies
include
utilities,
power
marketers,
and
the
end
users
of
energy
produced
from
landfill
gas.

There
are
three
mechanisms
for
collecting
information
from
the
allies
and
partners:

wpd
°
memoranda
of
understanding
(
MOU);

°
information
forms;
and
°
periodic
information
updates.

The
MOU
are
completed
when
communities,
states,
and
other
organizations
become
allies
or
partners.
The
MOU
are
a
one­
time
information
collection.
The
MOU
request
basic
information
(
for
example:
name,
address,
phone
number)
as
well
as
identification
of
contacts
and
experts
on
various
aspects
of
landfill
gas
recovery
and
use.
The
MOU
also
outline
the
responsibilities
of
the
ally
or
partner
and
the
EPA
LMOP.

The
information
forms
request
more
detailed
information
and
vary
according
to
the
type
of
ally
or
partner.
The
forms
will
be
completed
by
all
existing
allies
and
partners
one
time
and
by
new
allies
and
partners
as
they
join
LMOP.
The
forms
will
be
updated
annually
by
allies
and
partners
directly
involved
in
LFGTE
projects.
This
includes
developers,
energy
allies,
and
community
partners.

Periodic
information
updates
may
also
occur
to
obtain
general
information
(
company
and
contact
information)
from
allies
and
partners.
Allies
and
partners
may
initiate
the
update,
through
phone
calls
or
the
LMOP
website,
when
they
become
aware
of
new
information
or
revisions
to
information
that
has
previously
been
provided
to
EPA.
The
EPA
may
also
request
updated
information
through
phone
calls
when
they
become
aware
of
outdated
or
new
information.

The
information
will
be
gathered
from
the
allies
and
partners
through
forms
that
can
be
faxed
or
mailed
to
the
EPA.
Information
will
be
updated
through
forms
or
telephone
calls.
The
EPA
will
use
the
information
provided
by
the
allies
and
partners
to
track
the
progress
and
success
of
existing
LFGTE
projects,
identify
opportunities
for
new
LFGTE
projects
and
facilitate
the
implementation
of
these
projects,
and
identify
services
and
information
that
LMOP
could
provide
to
better
assist
the
allies
and
partners
in
their
efforts.

The
LMOP
information
collection
is
expected
to
involve
270
entities
initially
and
an
additional
20
entities
per
year.
The
average
number
of
respondents
per
year
over
three
years
is
310.
The
average
annual
cost
for
respondents
is
estimated
to
be
$
237.

NEED
FOR
AND
USE
OF
THIS
COLLECTION
2(
a)
Need/
Authority
for
The
Collection
The
EPA
needs
to
collect
the
information
in
the
MOU
to
formally
establish
participation
in
the
LMOP
and
to
obtain
general
information
about
new
partners
and
allies.
Additional
information
collected
through
information
forms
is
needed
to
allow
EPA
to
track,
facilitate,
and
encourage
the
implementation
of
LFGTE
projects.
This
information
collection
will
assist
the
LMOP
in
decreasing
methane
emissions
from
landfills,
increasing
the
use
of
methane
as
a
renewable
energy
source,
and
reducing
emissions
due
to
the
burning
of
non­
renewable
energy
sources
such
as
coal
and
fuel
oil.

Participation
in
the
LMOP
is
voluntary.
As
described
in
section
1(
b)
above,
the
four
categories
of
participants
are:

°
State
allies;

°
industry
allies
(
developers
and
non­
developers):

°
energy
allies;
and
°
community
partners.

All
allies
and
partners,
in
completing
the
MOU,
agree
to
provide
EPA
with
information
requested
in
the
forms
and
provide
contact
information
for
their
LMOP
coordinator.
Additionally,

nondeveloper
industry
allies
agree
to
provide
a
description
of
their
products
and
services,
and
contact
information
for
people
in
their
organization
with
expertise
in
landfill
gas
recovery
and
use.

Developer
industry
allies
and
energy
allies
agree
to
provide
information
on
LFGTE
projects
they
have
been
involved
in.
Community
partners
agree
to
provide
information
on
the
progress
of
implementing
LFGTE
projects
at
their
landfill.

2(
b)
Practical
Utility/
Users
of
the
Data
The
EPA
uses
information
submitted
in
the
MOU
to
update
its
database
of
LMOP
allies
and
partners.
The
database
serves
as
a
source
of
general
information
and
a
mailing
list.
The
EPA
uses
information
submitted
in
additional
forms
to
monitor
the
progress
of
LFGTE
projects
and
identify
opportunities
for
new
projects.
The
EPA
also
uses
the
data
to
prepare
reports
on
LFGTE
projects
and
the
progress
of
the
LMOP.
EPA
uses
case
studies
of
successful
LFGTE
projects
to
demonstrate
to
existing
and
potential
allies
and
partners
the
cost
savings
and

environmental
benefits
associated
with
capturing
and
using
landfill
gas.
General
information
on
the
allies
and
partners
and
LFGTE
projects
is
also
provided
on
the
LMOP
website,
making
it
available
to
other
LMOP
partners
and
allies
as
well
as
the
public.

NONDUPLICATION,
CONSULTATIONS,
AND
OTHER
COLLECTION
CRITERIA
3(
a)
Nonduplication
For
new
allies
and
partners,
the
information
to
be
collected
has
not
previously
been
collected
by
EPA
or
any
other
Federal
Agency.
For
existing
allies
and
partners,
some
of
the
information
required
may
be
available
in
the
existing
LMOP
database.
To
avoid
requesting
information
that
has
already
been
collected,
forms
sent
to
existing
allies
and
partners
will
be
filledin
with
information
from
the
database
or
the
information
available
in
the
database
will
be
included
as
a
separate
attachment.
Recipients
of
the
forms
will
be
asked
to
the
review
the
information
provided.
Only
if
the
information
is
incorrect
or
out
of
date
will
the
recipients
be
required
to
provide
additional
information.

3(

Public
Notice
Required
Prior
to
ICR
Submission
to
OMB
In
compliance
with
the
Paperwork
Reduction
Act
of
1995,
EPA
solicited
public
comments
on
the
ICR
through
an
announcement
in
the
Federal
Register
on
February
14,
2000
(
65
FR
7390.)

A
copy
of
the
notice
is
included
as
attachment
A.
No
comments
were
received
in
response
to
the
notice.

3(
c)
Consultations
The
EPA
consulted
with
less
than
nine
allies
and
partners
regarding
the
burden
of
this
information
collection.

The
allies
and
partner
contacted
were
provided
copies
of
the
information
collection
forms
to
be
used
and
an
initial
estimate
of
the
associated
burden,
including
estimated
labor
rates.
The
allies
and
partner
were
asked
to
comment
on
the
accuracy
of
the
burden
estimates.
Generally,
the
contacts
agreed
with
the
estimates.
The
State
ally
and
community
partner
commented
that
the
labor
rates
seemed
high.
Originally,
the
same
labor
rates
were
being
used
for
both
public­
and
private­
sector
employees.
The
rates
for
public
sector
employees
were
revised,
using
the
same
rates
used
for
EPA
employees,
which
are
comparable
to
rates
suggested
by
the
community
partner.
The
estimated
technical
hours
required
to
complete
an
information
form
were
reduced
based
on
the
suggestion
of
the
State
ally.
Hours
to
complete
the
MOU
were
allocated
to
technical,
as
well
as
managerial
staff
at
the
suggestion
of
the
energy
ally.

3(
d)
Effects
of
Less
Frequent
Collection
The
MOU
are
submitted
once
by
organizations
that
choose
to
become
allies
or
partners
of
the
LMOP.
For
non­
developer
industry
and
state
allies,
the
information
forms
are
also
submitted
only
once.
To
allow
EPA
to
remain
current
on
LFGTE
projects,
allies
and
partners
directly
involved
in
projects
will
be
asked
to
update
the
information
forms
annually.
Allies
and
partners
may
also
update
company
and
contact
information
periodically.
The
EPA
believes
that
any
reduction
in
the
frequency
of
this
information
collection
would
impede
efforts
by
EPA
to
evaluate
results
of
the
program,
facilitate
LFGTE
project
implementation,
and
respond
in
a
timely
manner
to
needs
of
the
allies
and
partners.

THE
RESPONDENTS
AND
THE
INFORMATION
REQUESTED
4(
a)
Respondent/
NAICS
and
SIC
Codes
This
information
collection
will
encompass
a
wide
variety
of
respondents.
Community
partners
include
local
agencies
and
municipalities
that
own
landfills.
State
agencies
involved
in
energy,
air
pollution,
and
solid
waste
management
are
represented
through
State
allies.
Industry
allies
include
manufacturers
and
suppliers
of
equipment
and
knowledge
needed
to
capture
and
utilize
landfill
gas.
This
includes
engine
and
turbine
manufacturers,
engineering
firms,

construction
companies,
and
environmental
consultants.
Industry
allies
also
include
companies
involved
in
the
logistics
of
developing
LFGTE
projects
such
as
law
firms
and
financing
companies.
Energy
allies
include
utility
companies
who
purchase
the
energy
generated
from
the
landfills,
power
marketers,
and
the
end
users
of
energy
from
the
landfill.
The
end
user
is
potentially
the
most
diverse
category.
Any
facility
located
near
a
landfill
that
utilizes
fuel
either
in
manufacturing
products
or
heating
the
facility
is
a
potential
energy
end
user.

Small
Entity
Flexibility
The
EPA
expects
that
some
LMOP
allies
and
partners
are
small
entities.
EPA
has
designed
its
approach
for
this
information
collection
to
minimize
burden
for
all
respondents
while
obtaining
sufficient
and
accurate
information.
Additionally,
participation
in
the
LMOP
is
voluntary.
Any
small
entity
that
finds
the
information
collection
overly
burdensome
is
not
required
to
participate.

5(
d)
Collection
Schedule
The
EPA
will
collect
general
information
in
the
MOU,
which
is
completed
and
submitted
by
each
ally
and
partner
upon
agreement
to
participate
in
the
program.
The
EPA
will
collect
additional
information
through
information
forms.
These
forms
will
be
completed
annually
for
allies
and
partners
directly
involved
in
LFGTE
projects
and
once
for
other
allies.
Information
may
also
be
updated
periodically
at
the
request
of
EPA
or
the
ally
or
partner.

ESTIMATING
THE
BURDEN
AND
COST
OF
THE
COLLECTION
6(
a)
Estimating
Respondent
Burden
In
order
to
obtain
accurate
hourly
burden
and
cost
estimates,
EPA
consulted
with
fewer
than
nine
allies
and
partners
regarding
burden
and
cost
assumptions.
Attachment
C
presents
the
estimated
annual
respondent
burden
and
costs
for
information
collection
activities
associated
with
the
LMOP
for
each
year
of
the
collection.
Table
3
presents
a
summary
of
the
respondent
burden.

6(
b)
Estimating
Respondent
Costs
(
i)
Estimating
Labor
Costs
The
EPA
used
a
national
average
hourly
labor
rate
for
white
collar
occupations
(
hourly
rate
plus
110%
overhead)
of
$
81.72
for
legal
staff,
$
73.92
for
managerial
staff,
$
54.94
for
technical
staff,
and
$
34.42
for
clerical
staff
for
private­
sector
respondents.
Managerial,
technical,

and
clerical
labor
rates
were
obtained
from
the
Bureau
of
Labor
Statistics,
United
States
Department
of
Labor
News,
"
Employer
Costs
for
Employee
Compensation"
(
June
24,
1999).

Legal
labor
rates
were
obtained
from
the
Bureau
of
Labor
Statistics,
United
States
Department
of
Labor
News,
"
Occupational
Employment
and
Wages,
1998"
(
December
22,
1999).

wpd
labor
rates
were
updated
to
1999
rates
using
the
Bureau
of
Labor
Statistics,
United
States
Department
of
Labor
News,
"
Employment
Cost
Index
­
December
2000"
(
January
28,
2000).

For
public­
sector
respondents,
EPA
used
the
same
labor
rates
used
for
EPA
personnel
(
see
Section
6(
c)).
This
rates
are
comparable
to
rates
provided
by
a
community
partner
and
using
them
for
all
public­
sector
employees
provides
consistency.

(
ii)
Estimating
Capital
and
Operations
and
Maintenance
Costs
Because
this
information
collection
requires
respondents
only
to
report
information
that
is
already
available
to
them,
there
are
no
capital
costs.
The
EPA
does
not
expect
that
the
operations
and
maintenance
(
O&
M)
costs
of
this
program
will
be
significant.
The
only
O&
M
costs
expected
are
for
postage
required
to
mail
in
the
MOU
and
forms.
A
postage
cost
of
$
3.00
is
attributed
to
all
activities
involving
mailing
materials
to
account
for
the
use
of
trackable
mail.
The
average
annual
O&
M
cost
over
three
years
is
$
670.

the
estimated
Agency
burden

and
costs
for
the
information
collection
activities
associated
with
the
LMOP.
Table
4
presents
a
summary
of
the
agency
burden.
EPA
estimates
an
average
hourly
labor
cost
(
labor
plus
60%
for
overhead)
of
$
60.67
for
managerial
staff,
$
44.5
for
technical
staff,
and
$
17.87
for
clerical
staff.
To
derive
these
estimates,

EPA
used
the
2000
Federal
Pay
Schedule
salary
figures.
For
purposes
of
this
ICR,
EPA
assigned
staff
the
following
government
service
levels:

Estimating
the
Respondent
Universe
Currently,
there
are
approximately
270
LMOP
partners
and
allies.
The
EPA
anticipates
that
an
average
of
20
new
allies
and
partners
will
join
the
program
annually.
The
average
annual
number
of
respondents
over
three
years
is
310.
The
number
of
respondents
in
each
of
the
three
years
of
this
information
collection
is
shown
in
Table

show
the
total
annual
burden
and
cost
to
respondents
and
the
government,
respectively,
for
the
information
collection
activities
associated
with
the
LMOP.
The
burden
and
cost
are
also
summarized
in
Tables
3
and
4.
Over
the
three
year
period
covered
by
this
ICR,
EPA
estimates
the
burden
of
the
program
to
be
4,451
hours
and
$
220,808
for
respondents,
and
2,600
hours
and
$
112,731
for
EPA.
The
bottom
line
burden
for
respondents
will
be
the
greatest
in
year
1
and
significantly
less
in
years
2
and
3.
This
is
because
the
majority
of
information
will
be
collected
from
existing
allies
and
partners
in
year
1.
In
year
1,
each
existing
ally
or
partner
will
complete
an
information
form,
and
new
allies
will
complete
both
MOU
and
forms.
In
years
2
and
3,
existing
allies
and
partners
will
be
updating
information
only
as
needed.

Additionally,
for
those
allies
and
partners
directly
involved
in
LFGTE
projects,
EPA
will
provide
the
information
submitted
in
year
1
and
only
ask
for
updates
and
new
project
information.
New
allies
and
partners
will
have
to
provide
new
information
through
MOUs
and
forms.
The
total
burden
and
cost
for
respondents
in
year
1
is
estimated
to
be
2,072
hours
and
$
101,867
and
the
average
is
7
hours
and
$
351
per
respondent.
In
years
2
and
3,
the
burden
and
cost
is
estimated
to
average
3.7
hours
per
respondent
per
year
and
$
186
per
respondent
per
year.
Overall,
the
average
respondent
burden
is
4.8
hours
per
year
and
$
237
per
year.
Respondent
burden
and
cost
are
summarized
in
Table
3.

Similarly,
the
Agency
burden
is
greater
in
year
1
than
in
years
2
and
3.
In
year
1,
the
agency
burden
and
cost
is
estimated
to
be
1,123
hours
and
$
48,630.
In
year
2,
the
burden
is
712
hours
and
$
30,880.
In
year
3,
the
agency
burden
is
765
hours
and
$
33,221.
Overall,
the
average
Agency
burden
for
the
3
year
period
is
867
hours
per
year
and
$
37,577
per
year.
Agency
burden
and

In

2,
it
is
expected
that
2
new
industry
project
developers
will
join
the
LMOP.

3
In
year
2,
all
new
allies
must
submit
a
completed
information
form.
Additionally,
all
existing
project
developers
must
review
project
information
they
have
previously
provided
and
submit
any
corrections
and
complete
a
form
for
any
new
projects.
In
year
2,
there
are
an
estimated
2
new
industry
project
developers
and
28
existing
developers,
for
a
total
of
30
developers
that
will
complete
an
information
form.

4
The
information
form
must
be
filled
out
for
each
project.
The
hours
estimates
represent
an
average
burden
for
developers.
It
is
based
on
1
smaller
developer
with
one
project
and
1
larger
developer
with
an
average
of
17
projects.
Time
to
gather
information
is
2
hours
for
a
small
developer
and
17
hours
for
a
large
developer,
averaging
9.5
hours
per
developer.
Time
to
complete
the
forms
is
3.5
hours
for
a
small
developer
and
34
hours
for
a
large
developer,
averaging
18.75
hours
per
developer.

5
Project
developers
must
submit
updated
information
forms
annually.
In
year
2,
it
is
estimated
that
there
are
28
existing
project
developers.
Because
the
developers
have
already
filled
out
the
form
in
a
previous
year,
and
they
will
only
be
asked
to
review
information
on
existing
projects
and
provide
information
for
new
projects,
the
burden
will
be
significantly
less
than
that
for
new
developers.

6
It
is
assumed
that
in
year
2,
half
of
all
existing
project
developers
will
submit
an
information
update.
It
is
assumed
that
half
of

will
provide

and
the
other
half
will

In

there
are

December
1000:
Table
2,"
January
28,
2000.
All
labor
rates
incorporate
a
110%
factor
to
account
for
overhead
and
profit.

2
All
allies
must
submit
an
MOU
when
they
join
the
LMOP.
In
year
3,
it
is
expected
that
2
new
industry
project
developers
will
join
the
LMOP.

3
In
year
3,
all
new
allies
must
submit
a
completed
information
form.
Additionally,
all
existing
project
developers
must
review
project
information
they
have
previously
provided
and
submit
any
corrections
and
complete
a
form
for
any
new
projects.
In
year
3,
there
are
an
estimated
2
new
industry
project
developers
and
30
existing
developers,
for
a
total
of
32
developers
that
will
complete
an
information
form.

4
The
information
form
must
be
filled
out
for
each
project.
The
hours
estimates
represent
an
average
burden
for
developers.
It
is
based
on
1
smaller
developer
with
one
project
and
1
larger
developer
with
an
average
of
17
projects.
Time
to
gather
information
is
2
hours
for
a
small
developer
and
17
hours
for
a
large
developer,
averaging
9.5
hours
per
developer.
Time
to
complete
the
forms
is
3.5
hours
for
a
small
developer
and
34
hours
for
a
large
developer,
averaging
18.75
hours
per
developer.

5
Project
developers
must
submit
updated
information
forms
annually.
In
year
3,
it
is
estimated
that
there
are
30
existing
project
developers.
Because
the
developers
have
already
filled
out
the
form
in
a
previous
year,
and
they
will
only
be
asked
to
review
information
on
existing
projects
and
provide
information
on
new
projects,
the
burden
will
be
significantly
less
than
that
for
new
developers.

6
It
is
assumed
that
in
year
3,
half
of
all
existing
project
developers
will
submit
an
information
update.
It
is
assumed
that
half
of
those
that
update
their
information
will
provide
information
through
the
LMOP
website
and
the
other
half
will
provide
information
through
a
telephone
interview.
In
year
3,
there
are
an
estimated
30
existing
project
developer
allies.
It
is
assumed
15
will
provide
an
information
update,
7
through
the
web,
8
by
