Sec.  1626.17  Notice of dismissal or termination.

    (a) Issuance of Notice of Dismissal or Termination. (1) Where a 
charge filed with the Commission under the ADEA is dismissed or the 
Commission's proceedings are otherwise terminated, the Commission will 
issue a Notice of Dismissal or Termination on the charge as described in 
paragraph (c) of this section to the person(s) claiming to be aggrieved. 
In the case of a charge concerning more than one aggrieved person, the 
Commission will only issue a Notice of Dismissal or Termination when the 
charge is dismissed or proceedings are otherwise terminated as to all 
aggrieved persons.
    (2) Where the charge has been filed under the ADEA and Title VII or 
the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the Commission will issue a 
Notice of Dismissal or Termination under the ADEA at the same time it 
issues the Notice of Right to Sue under Title VII or the ADA.
    (3) The issuance of a Notice of Dismissal or Termination does not 
preclude the Commission from offering such assistance to a person 
receiving the notice as the Commission deems necessary or appropriate. 
The issuance does not preclude or interfere with the Commission's 
continuing right to investigate and litigate the same matter or any ADEA 
matter under its enforcement authority.
    (b) Delegation of Authority To Issue Notices of Dismissal or 
Termination. The Commission hereby delegates authority to issue Notices 
of Dismissal or Termination, in accordance with this section, to: 
Directors of District, Field, Area and Local offices; the Director of 
the Office of Field Programs; the Director of Field Management Programs,
