EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY 

COMMISSION 

29 CFR Part 1625 

RIN 3046–AA58 

Waivers of Rights and Claims in 

Settlement of a Charge or Lawsuit 

Under the Age Discrimination in 

Employment Act; Corrections 

AGENCY: Equal Employment 

Opportunity Commission. 

ACTION: Correcting Amendments. 

SUMMARY: The EEOC is correcting a 

cross-reference in its regulation 

concerning the requirements for a valid 

waiver of an individual’s right to file a 

lawsuit under the Older Workers Benefit 

Protection Act (OWBPA) amendments 

to the Age Discrimination in 

Employment Act (ADEA). This is a 

technical correction. 

DATES: Effective Date: March 11, 2014. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Carol R. Miaskoff, Assistant Legal 

Counsel, or Raymond L. Peeler, Senior 

Attorney-Advisor, at (202) 663–4640 

(voice) or (202) 663–7026 (TTY). 

Requests for this document in an 

alternative format should be made to the 

Office of Communications and 

Legislative Affairs at (202) 663–4191

Publications Information Center at 1– 

800–669–3362 (toll free). 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

In the Older Workers Benefit 

Protection Act of 1990 (OWBPA), 

Congress established requirements for 

the knowing and voluntary release of 

claims under the Age Discrimination in 

Employment Act (ADEA).1 The OWBPA 

set basic requirements for all waivers of 

ADEA rights, and it imposed extra 

requirements when employers sought 

such waivers in connection with an exit 

incentive or group termination program. 

To implement the OWBPA, the EEOC 

issued a final negotiated rule at 29 CFR 

1625.22 in 1998.2

Need for Correction 

The EEOC now corrects a crossreference in 29 CFR 1625.22(g)(3), the 

provision that states the basic 

requirements for waiving ADEA rights 

when settling an ADEA charge or 

lawsuit. Where subsection (g)(3) should 

cross reference the rule’s ‘‘knowing and 

voluntary’’ requirements applicable to 

all ADEA waivers, it instead references 

the rule’s additional requirements for 

group termination programs. Therefore, 

the EEOC now replaces the incorrect 

language in 29 CFR 1625.22(g)(3) (‘‘set 

out in paragraph (f) of this section’’), 

with language referencing the rule’s 

general waiver requirements (‘‘set out in 

paragraphs (b), (c), and (d) of this 

section.’’). 

Changes to Authority Citation 

This rule also contains several 

changes to the existing authority 

citation for 29 CFR Part 1625. Some of 

these changes update existing citations 

to comply with Federal Register 

formatting conventions. Others 

streamline and consolidate several 

references to the Age Discrimination in 

Employment Act. The revisions also add 

Executive Order 12067 due to its 

discussion of the EEOC’s leadership role 

in age discrimination in employment 

and the EEOC’s responsibilities with 

respect to federal regulations concerning 

employment discrimination. 

Retrospective Regulatory Review 

Although the EEOC’s rulemaking on

Retrospective Analysis of Existing Regulations is 

available at http://www.eeoc.gov/laws/regulations/

retro_review_plan_final.cfm (last visited Oct. 5, 

2012). 

4This error was brought to the EEOC’s attention 

by attorneys inquiring about the requirements for 

settling a charge of age discrimination. 

ADEA is not currently a priority for 

regulatory review, the Commission is 

taking this action, consistent with the 

EEOC Plan for Retrospective Analysis of 

Existing Rules,3 based on stakeholder 

input and efforts to enhance clarity in 

the EEOC’s regulations.4

Regulatory Procedures 

The Commission finds that public 

notice-and-comment on this rule is 

unnecessary, because the revision 

makes no substantive change; it merely 

corrects an internal cross-referencing 

error. The rule is therefore exempt from 

the notice-and-comment requirements 

of 5 U.S.C. 553(b) under 5 U.S.C. 

553(b)(B). This technical correction also 

is not ‘‘significant’’ for purposes of 

Executive Order 12866, as reaffirmed by 

E.O. 13563, and therefore is not subject 

to review by Office of Management and 

Budget. 

Regulatory Analysis 

Since this technical correction 

contains no substantive changes to the 

law, EEOC certifies that it contains no 

new information collection 

requirements subject to review by the 

Office of Management and Budget under 

the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 

chapter 35), it requires no formal costbenefit analysis pursuant to E.O. 12866, 

it creates no significant impact on small 

business entities subject to review under 

the Regulatory Flexibility Act, and it 

imposes no new economic burden 

requiring further analysis under the 

Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 

1995. 

Congressional Review Act 

This correction is defined as a rule 

under the Congressional Review Act, 

but not as a major rule. As a result, it 

was provided to Congress and the 

General Accountability Office pursuant 

to the requirements of 5 U.S.C. 801 as 

interpreted by Office of Management 

and Budget Memorandum M–99–13.

RIN 1212–AB26 

Premium Rates; Payment of 

Premiums; Reducing Regulatory 

Burden 

AGENCY: Pension Benefit Guaranty 

Corporation. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Pension Benefit 

Corporation (PBGC) is making its 

premium rules more effective and less 

burdensome. Based on its regulatory 

review under Executive Order 13563 

(Improving Regulation and Regulatory 

Review), PBGC proposed to simplify 

due dates, coordinate the due date for 

terminating plans with the termination 

process, make conforming and clarifying 

changes to the variable-rate premium 

rules, give small plans more time to 

value benefits, provide for relief from 

penalties, and make other changes. 

PBGC recently finalized the part of the 

proposal that eliminated the early 

payment requirement for large plans’ 

flat-rate premiums. This action finalizes 

the rest of the proposal. 

DATES: Effective April 10, 2014. The 

changes are generally applicable for 

plan years starting on or after January 1, 

2014. See Applicability later in the 

preamble for details.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Executive Summary—Purpose of the 

Regulatory Action 

This rulemaking is needed to make 

PBGC’s premium rules more effective 

and less burdensome. The rule 

simplifies and streamlines due dates, 

coordinates the due date for terminating 

plans with the termination process, 

makes conforming changes to the 

variable-rate premium rules, clarifies 

the computation of the premium 

funding target, reduces the maximum 

penalty for delinquent filers that selfcorrect, and expands premium penalty 

relief. 

PBGC’s legal authority for this action 

comes from section 4002(b)(3) of the 

Employee Retirement Income Security 

Act of 1974 (ERISA), which authorizes 

PBGC to issue regulations to carry out 

the purposes of title IV of ERISA, and 

section 4007 of ERISA, which gives 

PBGC authority to set premium due 

dates and to assess late payment 

penalties. 

Executive Summary—Major Provisions 

of the Regulatory Action 

Due Date Changes 

In recent years, premium due dates 

have generally depended on plan size. 

Large plans have paid the flat-rate 

premium early in the premium payment 

year and the variable-rate premium later 

in the year. Mid-size plans have paid 

both the flat- and variable-rate 

premiums by that same later due date. 

Small plans have paid the flat- and 

variable-rate premiums in the following 

year. PBGC recently eliminated the early 

due date for large plans’ flat-rate 

premiums. PBGC is now completing the 

process of simplifying the due-date 

rules by making small plans’ premiums 

due at the same time as large and midsize plans’ premiums. However, because 

of a transition rule that gives small
