62082 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 173 / Friday, September 8, 2023 / Notices 

individuals. The purpose of the 

informational requirements is to provide 

an employee with enough information 

regarding the program to allow an 

employee to make an informed choice 

whether or not to sign a waiver 

agreement. The employer does not 

provide this information to the EEOC; 

the ADEA and the EEOC’s regulation 

solely require that the employer provide 

this information to any employee it 

would apply to, and not to the Federal 

government. 

The EEOC, in accordance with the 

PRA and OMB regulation 5 CFR 

1320.8(d)(1), provides the general public 

and Federal agencies with an 

opportunity to comment on proposed, 

revised, and continuing collections of 

information. This helps the EEOC to 

assess the impact of its information 

collection requirements and minimize 

the public’s reporting burden. It also 

helps the public to understand the 

EEOC’s information collection 

requirements and provide the requested 

data in the desired format. The EEOC is 

soliciting comments on the information 

collection that is described below. The 

EEOC is especially interested in public 

comment that will assist in the 

following: (1) Evaluating whether the 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

Commission’s functions, including 

whether the collection has practical 

utility; (2) Evaluating the accuracy of 

the Commission’s estimate of the 

burden of the collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; (3) 

Enhancing the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (4) Minimizing the 

burden of the collection of information 

on those who are to respond, including 

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. Please note that written 

comments received in response to this 

notice will be considered public 

records. 

Overview of This Information 

Collection 

Collection title: Waivers of Rights and 

Claims Under the ADEA; Informational 

Requirements. 

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 respondents: 1,489. 

Burden Hours per Respondent: 16.19. 

Total Annual Burden Hours: 24,107. 

Number of forms: 0. 

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 EEOC) in writing 

when they 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 12, 2023, 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. 88 FR 

38047–49 (June 12, 2023). No comments 

were received. 

For the Commission.

Commission.

310 and 332. 

Total Annual Burden: 1,135. 

Total Annual Cost: $1,443,825. 

Needs and Uses: FCC Form 608 is a 

multi-purpose form. It is used to 

provide notification or request approval 

for any spectrum leasing arrangement 

(‘‘Lease’’) entered into between an 

existing licensee in certain Wireless 

and/or Public Safety Radio Services and 

a spectrum lessee. This form also is 

required to notify or request approval 

for any spectrum subleasing 

arrangement (‘‘Sublease’’). The data 

collected on the form is used by the FCC 

to determine whether the public interest 

would be served by the Lease or 

Sublease. The form is also used to 

provide notification for any Private 

Commons Arrangement entered into 

between a licensee, lessee, or sublessee 

and a class of third-party users (as 

defined in Section 1.9080 of the 

Commission’s Rules). 

On July 18, 2022, the Commission 

released a Report and Order and Second 

Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, 

Partitioning, Disaggregation, and 

Leasing of Spectrum, WT Docket No. 

19–38, FCC 22–53, in which the 

Commission established the Enhanced 

Competition Incentive Program (ECIP) 

to establish incentives for wireless radio 

service licensees to make underutilized 

spectrum available to small carriers, 

Tribal Nations, and entities serving rural 

areas (ECIP Report and Order in WT 

Docket No. 19–38, FCC 22–53). In the 

Report and Order, the Commission 

adopted a program under which any 

covered geographic area licensee may 

offer spectrum to an unaffiliated eligible 

entity through a partition and/or 

disaggregation, and any covered 

geographic area licensee eligible to lease 

in an included service may offer 

spectrum to an unaffiliated eligible 

entity through a long-term leasing 

arrangement. If the FCC finds that 

approval of an ECIP eligible assignment 

or lease is in the public interest, the 

agency will consent to the transaction 

and confer benefits, including five-year 

license term extensions, one year 

construction extensions, and substituted 

alternative construction requirements 

for rural-focused transactions. The 

Commission also established rules to 

permit reaggregation of geographic 

licenses. 

In establishing the ECIP, the 

Commission requires applicants seeking 

to participate in the program to submit 

certain information that shows the 

transaction qualifies for ECIP inclusion. 

The Commission found that the ECIP 

builds on Congressional goals in the 

MOBILE NOW Act to incentivize 

beneficial transactions in the public 

interest that will promote greater 

competition in the provision of wireless 

services, facilitate increased availability 

of advanced wireless services in rural 

areas, facilitate new opportunities for 

small carriers and Tribal Nations to 

increase access to spectrum, and bring 

more advanced wireless service 

including 5G to underserved 

communities. Specifically, in the ECIP 

Report and Order, the Commission 

revised its rules to allow any covered 

geographic licenses in included services 

to be leased to eligible entities through 

a long-term leasing arrangement. 

Specifically, in the ECIP Report and 

Order, the Commission revised its rules 

to allow any covered geographic 

licenses in included services to be 

leased to eligible entities through a longterm leasing arrangement, to designate a 

Qualifying Transaction identified in the 

application as seeking consideration 

under the ECIP. Two new questions are 

being added to the FCC Form 608 as a 

result. Respondents are required to 

indicate by yes or no answer whether 

the application is seeking consideration 

under ECIP. Respondents are also 

required to select the applicable ECIP 

prong to its Qualifying Transaction, 

pursuant to either § 1.60003 or 

§ 1.60004. 

Finally, a new Schedule J is being 

added to FCC Form 608 and will be 

used by Spectrum Manager Lessors (i.e., 

the Licensee) to file either the Initial 

Operation Requirement Notifications 

(IORN) or the Final Operation 

Requirement Notifications (FORN), as 

required by 47 CFR 1.60004, 1.60006, on 

behalf of the Lessee. 

The Commission now seeks approval 

for revisions to its currently approved 

collection of information under OMB 

Control Number 3060–1058 to permit 

the collection of the changes requested 

herein. We anticipate that these 

revisions will have minimal impact on 

the hourly burden to complete FCC 

Form 608. The Commission therefore 

seeks approval for a revision to its 

currently approved information 

collection on FCC Form 608 to revise 

FCC Form 608 accordingly.
