SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

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 an exit 
incentive or other employment termination program.
    Number of Respondents: 2,425.
    Burden Hours per Respondent: 16.19 hours.

    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 Older Workers 
Benefit Protection Act (OWBPA), enacted in 1990, amended the ADEA to 
require employers to disclose certain information to employees (but not 
to the 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 5, 2020, 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. 85 FR 26687-89 (May 5, 2020). No comments were received.

    For the Commission.
Janet Dhillon,
Chair.
