B. How and to whom do I submit 

comments? 

Submit your comments, identified by

Once submitted, comments cannot be 

edited or removed from this docket. 

EPA may publish any comment received 

to its public docket. Do not submit to 

EPA’s docket at https://

www.regulations.gov any information 

you consider to be Confidential 

Business Information (CBI) or other 

information whose disclosure is 

restricted by statute. Multimedia 

submissions (audio, video, etc.) must be 

accompanied by a written comment. 

The written comment is considered the 

official comment and should include 

discussion of all points you wish to 

make. EPA will generally not consider 

comments or comment contents located 

outside of the primary submission (i.e., 

on the web, cloud, or other file sharing 

system). For additional submission 

methods, the full EPA public comment 

policy, information about CBI or 

multimedia submissions, and general 

guidance on making effective 

comments, please visit https://

in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION

CONTACT section of this document. 

If you submit an electronic comment, 

EPA recommends that you include your 

name, mailing address, and an email 

address or other contact information in 

the body of your comment. This ensures 

that you can be identified as the 

submitter of the comment and allows 

EPA to contact you in case EPA cannot 

read your comment due to technical 

difficulties or needs further information 

on the substance of your comment. Any 

identifying or contact information 

provided in the body of a comment will 

be included as part of the comment that 

is placed in the official public docket 

and made available in EPA’s electronic 

public docket. If EPA cannot read your 

comment due to technical difficulties 

and cannot contact you for clarification, 

EPA may not be able to consider your 

comment. 

Use of the https://

www.regulations.gov website to submit 

comments to EPA electronically is 

EPA’s preferred method for receiving 

comments. The electronic public docket 

system is an ‘‘anonymous access’’ 

system, which means EPA will not 

know your identity, email address, or 

other contact information unless you 

provide it in the body of your comment. 

Please ensure that your comments are 

submitted within the specified comment 

period. Comments received after the 

close of the comment period will be 

marked ‘‘late.’’ EPA does not plan to 

consider these late comments.

Office of Legal Counsel, 131 M Street

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Age 

Discrimination in Employment Act 

(ADEA) allows for individuals to waive 

rights and claims protected under the 

Act, provided certain circumstances are 

met; particularly that the waiver is 

knowing and voluntary. In order for an 

individual’s waiver in connection with 

a program to be considered knowing 

and voluntary, the employer must 

inform the individual in writing in a 

manner calculated to be understood by 

the average individual eligible to 

participate, as to (i) any class, unit, or 

group of individuals covered by such 

program, any eligibility factors for such 

program, and any time limits applicable 

to such program; and (ii) the job titles 

and ages of all individuals eligible or 

selected for the program, and the ages of 

all individuals in the same job 

classification or organizational unit who 

are not eligible or selected for the 

program. 

The EEOC’s regulations clarify that 

the relevant section of the ADEA 

addresses two principal issues: to whom 

information must be provided, and what 

information must be disclosed to such 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1
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.

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. 

Dated: September 1, 2023.

Chair, U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity 

Commission.
