comments?
Submit your comments, identified by
Docket ID No. EPA–HQ–OGC–2023–

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

www.epa.gov/dockets/commenting-epadockets. For additional information

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

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

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.

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

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.
Number of forms: 0.
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.
