The Landfill Methane Outreach Program
(LMOP), created by EPA in 1994, 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 resource in their community; and providing
tools to evaluate LFG energy potential. LMOP signs 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.
There is an increase of 221
hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared with the
ICR currently approved by OMB. This increase is due to anticipated
growth in the number of new LMOP Partners annually.
