EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY COMMISSION

29 CFR Chapter XIV


Older Workers Benefit Protection Act of 1990 (OWBPA)

AGENCY: Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC).

ACTION: Initial Meeting of Negotiated Rulemaking Advisory Committee.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: EEOC announces the date of the first meeting of the 
``Negotiated Rulemaking Advisory Committee for Regulatory Guidance on 
Unsupervised Waivers of Rights and Claims under the Age Discrimination 
in Employment Act'' (the Committee). A Notice of Intent to form the 
Committee was published in the Federal Register on August 31, 1995, 60 
FR 45388, and a Notice of Establishment of the Committee was published 
in the Federal Register on October 20, 1995, 60 FR 54207.

DATES: The first meeting will be held on December 6-7, 1995, beginning 
at 10:00 a.m. on December 6. It is anticipated that the meeting will 
last for two days.

ADDRESSES: The meeting will be held at the EEOC headquarters, 1801 L 
Street NW., Washington, DC 20507.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Joseph N. Cleary, Paul E. Boymel, or 
John K. Light, ADEA Division, Office of Legal Counsel, EEOC, 1801 L 
Street NW., Washington, DC 20507, [phone].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to General Services Administration 
regulations, at 41 CFR 101-6.1015(b)(2), I certify that exceptional 
circumstances exist that permit EEOC to give notice less than 15 days 
prior to the date of the meeting: this notice has been delivered to the 
Federal Register prior to the governmental furlough of November 14-19, 
1995, but because of the furlough the notice could not be published 
until today. Participants had already made plans to attend the December 
meeting, and rescheduling would have caused substantial burden and 
delay.
    The Committee membership list is attached as Addendum A. All 
Committee meetings, including the meeting of December 6-7, 1995, will 
be open to the public. Any member of the public may submit written 
comments for the Committee's consideration, and may be permitted to 
speak at the meeting if time permits. In addition, all Committee 
documents and minutes will be available for public inspection in EEOC's 
Library (6th floor of the EEOC Headquarters).
    Persons who need assistance to review the comments will be provided 
with appropriate aids such as readers or print magnifiers. To schedule 
an appointment call [phone] (voice), [phone] (TDD). 
Copies of this notice are available in the following alternate formats: 
large print, braille, electronic file on computer disks, and audio 
tape. Copies may be obtained from the Office of Equal Employment 
Opportunity by calling [phone] (voice), [phone] (TDD).

Purpose of Meeting/Summary of Agenda

    At the first meeting, the Committee will establish Committee 
procedures, define the scope of Committee action, and begin to discuss 
the unsupervised waiver legal issues that will be considered by the 
Committee.

    Dated: November 9, 1995.
Gilbert F. Casellas,
Chairman.
