In order to allow an employee to make an informed decision, the ADEA requires that if an employer requests a waiver in association with a group termination program, the employer must disclose certain information to the employee in writing.

For 2023, to calculate the Number of Respondents for the current collection, EEOC utilized an estimate of the total number of unique U.S. firms reporting a layoff in calendar year 2022. This estimate shows a decreased number of respondents from the 2020 collection, which resulted in the Annual Time Burden decreasing. With regard to the change in the annual cost burden, there was an inadvertent error in the 2020 ROCIS submission. The 2020 cost burden was $1,770,703, so the actual difference between 2020 and 2023 is $616,368 (i.e., $1,770,703 - $1,154,335).
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding the proposed collection of information, that the certification covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
