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.

Act
For the current 2020 ICR
submission, the EEOC will rely again on the 2016 estimate of burden
hours per respondent. Due to concerns about data quality given the
COVID-19 pandemic, and in accordance with OMB guidance memo
M-20-16, EEOC does not intend to conduct a new limited survey to
re-estimate burden hours at this time. The burden hours for the
creation of the ADEA waiver are estimated to be 8.25 per employer
and the burden hours for the distribution are estimated to be 7.94
per employer, for a total of 16.19 hours. EEOC did not receive any
comments questioning the estimated completion time in response to
the 60 Day Notice. The number of respondents is estimated to be
2,425, which is the total number of unique US firms reporting a
layoff in 2019 as derived from the monthly Challenger Job Cut
Report. This number of respondents is different than the number of
respondents used in 2016, creating a change in the burden figures
(though the estimate of burden hours per employer remains the
same).
