SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The EEOC 

enforces the ADEA of 1967, as amended, 

29 U.S.C. 621 et seq., which prohibits 

discrimination against employees and 

applicants for employment who are age 

40 or older. Congress amended the 

ADEA by enacting the Older Workers 

Benefit Protection Act of 1990 

(OWBPA), Pub. L. 101–433, 104 Stat. 

983(1990), to clarify the prohibitions 

against discrimination on the basis of 

age. In Title II of OWBPA, Congress 

addressed waivers of rights and claims 

under the ADEA. The provisions of Title 

II of OWBPA require employers to 

provide certain information to 

employees (but not to EEOC) in writing 

when asking those employees to waive 

or release ADEA claims. The regulation 

at 29 CFR 1625.22 reiterates those 

requirements. The EEOC seeks 

extension without change of the 

information collection requirements 

contained in this record keeping 

regulation. 

Overview of This Information 

Collection 

Collection title: Disclosure 

requirements under Title II of the Older 

Workers Benefit Protection Act of 1990 

(OWBPA), 29 CFR Part 1625. 

OMB number: 3046–0042 

Type of respondents: 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 programs 

(hereinafter, ‘‘Exit Program’’). 

Number of responses: 13,713. 

Reporting hours: 41,139. 

Number of forms: None. 

Federal cost: None. 

Abstract: This requirement involves 

providing adequate information in 

waiver agreements offered to a group or 

class of persons in connection with an 

Exit Program, to satisfy the requirements 

of the OWBPA. 

Burden statement: The only 

paperwork burden involved is the 

inclusion of the relevant data in waiver 

agreements under the OWBPA. The rule 

applies to those employers who have 20 

or more employees and who offer 

waivers to a group or class of employees 

in connection with an Exit Program. 

Pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction 

Act of 1995, 44 U.S.C. Chapter 35, and 

OMB regulations 5 CFR 1320.8(d)(1), the 

Commission solicits public comment to 

enable it to: 

(1) Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

Commission’s functions, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; 

(2) Evaluate the accuracy of the 

Commission’s estimate of the burden of 

the proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; 

(3) Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and 

(4) Minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

are to respond, through the use of 

appropriate automated, electronic, 

mechanical, or other technological 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology, e.g., permitting 

electronic submission of responses. 

For the Commission.
