Agency Information Collection
Activities; Proposed Collection
AGENCY:
Merit Systems Protection
Board.
ACTION:
Notice.
SUMMARY: In compliance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.
3501 et seq.), this notice announces that
the Merit Systems Protection Board
(MSPB or the Board) is forwarding the
following proposed information
collection to the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) for approval: MSPB
Form 185, a revised paper Appeal Form;
and e-Appeal, an electronic application
for filing an appeal with the Board.
DATES: Please submit comments on or
before January 26, 2007.

Comments concerning the
paperwork burden should be addressed
to the office of Information and
Regulatory Affairs, Office of
Management and Budget, Attention:
Desk Officer for MSPB, 725 17th Street,
NW., Washington, DC 20503, with a
copy to Timothy Korb, Merit Systems
Protection Board, 1615 M Street, NW.,
Washington, DC 20419 (or by e-mail to
Timothy.Korb@mspb.gov).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On
September 21, 2006, the Board
published in the Federal Register (71
FR 55221) a notice of its intent to
submit this proposed information
request to OMB for approval, noting that
the MSPB intends to make one
substantive change to the information
collected on the MSPB Appeal Form in
both its paper and electronic formats:
Individuals who file appeals with the
MSPB will be required to provide the
last four digits of their Social Security
numbers. In addition, several minor
edits are being made to the Appeal Form
to make the process easier to
understand.
The reason for requiring the last four
digits of appellants’ Social Security
ADDRESSES:
numbers is to ascertain whether an
appellant has filed previous appeals
with the MSPB that may affect the
processing of the new appeal. Because
of the similarity of names and the
possibility of name changes, and
because appellants sometimes use
nicknames instead of formal names, it
can be difficult to determine whether
the person who has filed a new appeal
is the same person who filed one or
more previous Board appeals. Although
requiring the last four digits of the
appellant’s Social Security number will
not result in certainty as to the filer’s
identity, it will give the MSPB more
assurance in this regard. The Board
stated that it will carefully safeguard the
last four digits of Social Security
numbers provided by appellants in
MSPB proceedings, and that this
information would not generally be
disclosed to third parties.
The Board received one comment
regarding the substantive change to the
appeal form, which raised a concern
about protecting the privacy of
appellants: ‘‘The last four digits of the
SSN, in combination with any other
amount of personal information about
the appellant, the complete SSN can be
determined.’’ We appreciate and share
the concern about protecting appellants’
privacy, but our investigation failed to
disclose a method for accurately
determining a person’s complete Social
Security number having only knowledge
of the last four digits (plus some other
personal information). More
importantly, as stated in our earlier
Federal Register notice, the MSPB will
not be disclosing these four-digit
numbers to persons outside the agency.
These numbers, along with other
personal identifiable information,
would be redacted before releasing
copies of Board records to persons
making requests under the Freedom of
Information Act or the Privacy Act.
Estimated Reporting Burden: As
stated in 60-day notice, the public
reporting burden for this collection of
information is estimated to vary from 20
minutes to 4 hours, with an average of
60 minutes per response, including time
for reviewing the form and instructions,
searching existing data sources,
gathering the data necessary, and
completing and reviewing the collection
of information.
