SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Overview of This Information Collection

    Collection title: Informational requirements under Title II of the 
Older Workers Benefit Protection Act of 1990 (OWBPA), 29 CFR 1625.22.
    Frequency of report: None required.
    OMB number: 3046-0042.
    Type of respondent: Business, state or local governments, not-for-
profit institutions.
    Description of affected public: Any employer with 20 or more 
employees that seeks waiver agreements in connection with exit 
incentive or other employment termination program.
    Number of responses: 28,030.
    Reporting hours: 42,045.
    Number of forms: None.

    Abstract: The EEOC enforces the Age Discrimination in Employment 
Act (ADEA) which prohibits discrimination against employees and 
applicants for employment who are age 40 or older. The OWBPA, enacted 
in 1990, amended the ADEA to require employers to disclose certain 
information to employees (but not to the EEOC) in writing when the 
employers ask employees to waive their rights under the ADEA in 
connection with an exit incentive program or other employment 
termination program. The regulation at 29 CFR 1625.22 reiterates those

disclosure requirements. The EEOC seeks an extension without change for 
the third-party disclosure requirements contained in this regulation. 
On June 17, 2010, the Commission published a 60-Day Notice informing 
the public of its intent to request an extension of the information 
collection requirements from the Office of Management and Budget. 75 FR 
34449 (June 17, 2010). No comments were received.

    Dated: August 19, 2010.

Chair, U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
