| 1 Labor rates for Endorsers were estimated using the average May 2010 labor rates for NAICS industry grouping 813900, Business, Professional, Labor, Political, and Similar Organizations from the Bureau of Labor and Statistics Occupational Employment Statistics. Occupational groupings assumed for clerical labor were executive secretaries and administrative assistants, for technical labor were environmental engineers, and for managerial labor were managers, all other. A June 2011 labor rate was estimated using a 1.9% growth factor from the employment cost index to account for increases in wages from June 2010 to June 2011. The growth factor came from Table 2. Employment Cost Index for wages and salaries, by ownership, occupational group, and industry located at: http://www.bls.gov/news.release/eci.t02.htm. All labor rates incorporate a factor of 110% to account for overhead and fringe benefit costs. |
| 2 The only burden for existing Endorsers is to submit voluntary periodic information updates. It is assumed that half of all existing Endorsers will submit an information update each year. It is assumed that half of those that update their information will provide information through the LMOP website or by email and the other half will provide information through a telephone interview. During the 3-year ICR period the expected average number of existing Endorsers is 39. It is assumed 20 existing Endorsers will provide an information update each year: 10 through the website or by email, and 10 by telephone. |

| 1 Labor rates for Energy and Industry-Project Developer Partners were estimated using the average May 2010 labor rates for NAICS industry grouping 541000, Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services. Occupational groupings assumed for clerical labor were executive secretaries and administrative assistants, for technical labor were environmental engineers, and for managerial labor were managers, all other. A June 2011 labor rate was estimated using a 1.9% growth factor from the employment cost index to account for increases in wages from June 2010 to June 2011. The growth factor came from Table 2. Employment Cost Index for wages and salaries, by ownership, occupational group, and industry located at: http://www.bls.gov/news.release/eci.t02.htm. All labor rates incorporate a factor of 110% to account for overhead and fringe benefit costs. |
| 2 All existing Energy and Industry-Project Developer Partners must submit a completed LFG energy project spreadsheet to review and correct existing project data and provide information on new projects. During the 3-year ICR period there are an estimated 260 existing Energy and Industry-Project Developer Partners that will complete a pre-populated LFG energy spreadsheet each year. |
| 3 Existing Energy and Industry-Project Developer Partners may submit voluntary periodic information updates. It is assumed that half of all existing Energy and Industry-Project Developer Partners will submit an information update each year. It is assumed that half of those that update their information will provide information through the LMOP website or email and the other half will provide information through a telephone interview. During the 3-year ICR period the expected average number of existing Energy and Industry-Project Developer Partners is 260. It is assumed 130 will provide an information update each year: 65 through the website or email, and 65 by telephone. |

| 2 All Partners must submit MOU when they join LMOP. In 2012, it is expected that 113 new Partners will join LMOP. |
| 3 In 2012, EPA will compile landfill and/or project data into a single spreadsheet for each existing Community, Energy, and Industry-Project Developer Partner to review and revise if necessary, and also provide information on new projects. LMOP will email these spreadsheets to all existing Community, Energy, and Industry-Project Developer Partners. EPA will prepare and send spreadsheets for new Community, Energy, and Industry-Project Developer Partners via a welcome email when they join the program. In 2012, it is estimated that EPA will need to prepare and review annual spreadsheets from 27 new and 369 existing Community, Energy, and Industry-Project Developer Partners. |
| 4 In 2012, it is assumed that half of all existing and new Partners will submit voluntary periodic information updates. It is assumed that half of those that update their information will provide information through the LMOP website or email and the other half will provide information through a telephone interview. In 2012 it is anticipated that there will be 1,107 existing and 113 new Partners. It is assumed 610 will provide an information update: 305 through the website or email, and 305 by telephone interview. |

| 2 All Partners must submit MOU when they join LMOP. In 2013, it is expected that 113 new Partners will join LMOP. |
| 3 In 2013, EPA will compile landfill and/or project data into a single spreadsheet for each existing Community, Energy, and Industry-Project Developer Partner to review and revise if necessary, and also provide information on new projects. LMOP will email these spreadsheets to all existing Community, Energy, and Industry-Project Developer Partners. EPA will prepare and send spreadsheets for new Community, Energy, and Industry-Project Developer Partners via a welcome email when they join the program. In 2013, it is estimated that EPA will need to prepare and review annual spreadsheets from 27 new and 396 existing Community, Energy, and Industry-Project Developer Partners. |
| 4 In 2013, it is assumed that half of all existing and new Partners will submit voluntary periodic information updates. It is assumed that half of those that update their information will provide information through the LMOP website or email and the other half will provide information through a telephone interview. In 2013 it is anticipated that there will be 1,220 existing and 113 new Partners. It is assumed 667 will provide an information update: 334 through the website or email, and 333 by telephone interview. |
