In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) gives notice of its intent to submit to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) a request to approve a renewal of an information collection as described below.

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC or Commission) proposes to amend its regulation to establish that all complaints under section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended (section 508), whether filed by members of the public or EEOC employees, will be processed under the procedures for section 504 public complaints. The Commission also proposes to update terminology which outlines how EEOC enforces section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act with respect to its own programs or activities. Finally, the Commission proposes to update or eliminate certain sections of this regulation that are no longer relevant.

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission is publishing this final rule so that employers may create, adopt, and maintain a wide range of retiree health plan designs, such as Medicare bridge plans and Medicare wrap-around plans, without violating the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (ADEA). To address concerns that the ADEA may be construed to create an incentive for employers to eliminate or reduce retiree health benefits, EEOC is creating a narrow exemption from the prohibitions of the ADEA for the practice of coordinating employer- sponsored retiree health benefits with eligibility for Medicare or a comparable State health benefits program.\1\ The rule does not otherwise affect an employer's ability to offer health or other employment benefits to retirees, consistent with the law.

Notice is hereby given of the appointment of members to the EEOC Performance Review Board.

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (``EEOC'' or ``Commission'') is publishing this final rule to amend its Age Discrimination in Employment Act (the ``Act'' or ``ADEA'') regulations to conform them to the Supreme Court's holding in General Dynamics Land System, Inc. v. Cline, 540 U.S. 581 (2004), that the ADEA only prohibits discrimination based on relatively older age, not discrimination based on age generally. Thus, the final rule deletes language in EEOC's ADEA regulations that prohibited discrimination against relatively younger individuals. The new rule explains that the ADEA only prohibits employment discrimination based on old age and, therefore, does not prohibit employers from favoring relatively older individuals.
