SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Overview of This Information Collection

    Collection Title: Informational requirements under Title II of the 
Older Workers Benefit Protection Act of 1990 (OWBPA), 29 CFR 1625.22.
    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 an exit 
incentive or other employment termination program.
    Number of Responses: 17,080.
    Reporting Hours: 25,620.
    Number of Forms: None.
    Burden Statement: The only paperwork burden involved is the 
inclusion of the relevant data in requests for waiver agreements under 
the OWBPA.
    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 May 14, 2013, 
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. 78 FR 28214-
28215 (May 14, 2013). No comments were received.

     Dated: July 19, 2013.

    For the Commission.
Jacqueline A. Berrien,
Chair.
