SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission 
(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), 
Public Law 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, 
amending section 7 of the ADEA by adding a new subsection (f), 29 
U.S.C. 626(f). The provisions of Title II of OWBPA do require employers 
to provide certain information to employees (but not to EEOC) in 
writing. The regulation at 29 CFR 1625.22 reiterates those 
requirements.
    The EEOC seeks extension without change of the information 
collection requirements contained in this recordkeeping regulation. On 
March 24, 2000, the Commission published a 60-Day Notice informing the 
public of its intent to request an extension of the

informational requirements from the Office of Management and Budget. 65 
FR 15907. No comments were received.
    Collection Title: Informational requirements under Title II of the 
Older Workers Benefit Protection Act of 1990 (OWBPA), 29 CFR Part 1625.
    Form Number: None.
    Frequency of Report: None required.
    OMB Control No.: 3046-0042.
    Type of Respondent: Business, state or local governments, not for

incentive or other employment termination programs.
    Responses: 13,713.

    Number of Forms: None.
    Abstract: This requirement does not involve record keeping. It 
consists of providing adequate information in waiver agreements offered 
to a group or class of persons in connection with a Program, to satisfy 
the requirements of the OWBPA.
    Burden Statement: There is no reporting requirement nor additional 
record keeping associated with this rule. The only paperwork burden 
involved is the inclusion of the relevant data in waiver agreements. 
The rule applies only to those employers who have 20 or more employees 
and who offer waivers to a group or class of employees in connection 
with a Program.

    Dated: May 31, 2000.

    For the Commission.
