The Equal
Employment Opportunity Commission
(EEOC), in accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (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 the EEOC in the
following: (1) Evaluating whether the
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
Commission’s functions, including
whether the information will have
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.

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: 17,350.
Reporting Hours: 26,025.
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.
For the Commission.

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
We note that USAC must preserve the

form unless directed to do so by the
Commission.
Needs and Uses: The Commission is

Commission adopted an order reforming
its universal service support program in

The Commission adopted a voluntary
path for rate-of-return carriers to receive
model-based universal service support
in exchange for making a commitment
to deploy broadband-capable networks
meeting certain service obligation to a
pre-determined number of eligible
locations by state. The Commission
addressed the requirement that carriers
electing model-based support must
notify the Commission of that election
and their commitment to satisfy the
specific service obligations associated
with the amount of model support. In
addition, the Commission adopted
reforms to the universal service
mechanisms used to determine support
for rate-of-return carriers not electing
model-based support. Among other such
reforms, the Commission adopted an
operating expense limitation to improve
carriers’ incentives to be prudent and
efficient in their expenditures, a capital
investment allowance to better target
support to those areas with less
broadband deployment, and broadband
deployment obligations to promote
‘‘accountability from companies
receiving support to ensure that public
investment are used wisely to deliver
intended results.’’ This information
collection addresses the new burdens
associated with those reforms.
