        Subpart C--Provisions Applicable to Particular Complaints
 
Sec. 268.201  Age Discrimination in Employment Act.


    (a) As an alternative to filing a complaint under this part, an 
aggrieved individual may file a civil action in a United States district 
court under the ADEA against the Chairman of the Board of Governors 
after giving the Commission not less than 30 days' notice of the intent 
to file such an action. Such notice must be filed in writing with EEOC, 
at P.O. Box 19848, Washington, DC 20036, or by personal delivery or 
facsimile within 180 days of the occurrence of the alleged unlawful 
practice.
    (b) The Commission may exempt a position from the provisions of the 
ADEA if the Commission establishes a maximum age requirement for the 
position on the basis of a determination that age is a bona fide 
occupational qualification necessary to the performance of the duties of 
the position.
    (c) When an individual has filed an administrative complaint 
alleging age discrimination that is not a mixed case, administrative 
remedies will be considered to be exhausted for purposes of filing a 
civil action:
    (1) 180 days after the filing of an individual complaint if the 
Board has not taken final action and the individual has not filed an 
appeal or 180 days after the filing of a class complaint if the Board 
has not issued a final decision;
    (2) After final action on an individual or class complaint if the 
individual has not filed an appeal; or
    (3) After the issuance of a final decision by the Commission on an 
appeal or 180 days after the filing of an appeal, if the Commission has 
not issued a final decision.
