without internet access may request a
paper copy of the MSPB Appeal Form
from the Office of the Clerk of the
Board.
DATES:
Revised MSPB Appeal Form 185
The instructions at the beginning of
the written appeal form have been
streamlined and reorganized, with a
focus on more clearly setting forth the
Board’s review authority; the option to
file an appeal electronically; the time
limits for filing an appeal; and where to
file an appeal. In addition, the Privacy
Act Statement and Public Reporting
Burden notice have been moved to the
end of the form.
Part 1—Appellant and Agency
Information: This section remains
largely unchanged, apart from the
inclusion of some updated language
(such as ‘‘cell’’ under telephone
numbers in box 3). In box 11,
‘‘Hearing,’’ the sentence, ‘‘If you choose
to have a hearing, the administrative
judge will notify you when and where
it is to be held[,]’’ has been eliminated,
due to its potentially misleading
character (the right to a hearing is
conditional on a finding of jurisdiction).
The appellant’s certification that ‘‘all of
the statements made in this form and
any attachments are true, complete, and
accurate * * *’’ has been moved from
box 12, to its own section at the end of
the form.
Part 2—Agency Personnel Action or
Decision (non-retirement): The
introductory language to this section has
been altered, reflecting the following
change in the overall organization of the
form: whereas the current version
solicits information about nonretirement actions in this part and then
subsequently cites to affirmative
defenses to such actions and particular
classes of such actions (IRA, USERRA,
and VEOA) in two separate sections, the
revised form addresses all nonretirement actions and associated claims
in Part 2. The present Part 4, which
invites appellants to check boxes next to
various affirmative defense claims, a
PO 00000
Frm 00056
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
frequent source of confusion, has been
eliminated. Information regarding such
claims, along with the descriptions of
IRA, USERRA, and VEOA appeals,
currently contained in Part 5, has been
placed together in a new Appendix A
and referenced at the beginning of this
revised section, which provides as
follows:
Complete this part if you are
appealing a Federal agency personnel
action or decision other than a decision
addressing your retirement rights or
benefits. Certain actions that might not
otherwise be appealable to the Board
may be challenged as an individual
right of action (IRA) appeal under the
Whistleblower Protection Act (WPA) or
as an appeal under the Uniformed
Services Employment and
Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA) or
the Veterans Employment Opportunities
Act (VEOA). An explanation of these
three types of appeals is provided in
Appendix A * * *
and in the new box 16, which provides
as follows:
Explain briefly why you think the
agency was wrong in taking this action.
In challenging such an action, you may
choose to allege that the agency engaged
in harmful procedural error, committed
a prohibited practice, or engaged in one
of the other claims listed in Appendix
A. Attach the agency’s proposal letter,
decision letter, and SF–50, if available.
Attach additional sheets if necessary
(bearing in mind that there will be later
opportunities to supplement your
filings).
As a result of this change, current
boxes 13a, 14, 15, 16, 17, and 18 have
been replaced with revised boxes 13, 14,
15, and 16. Current box 19, asking the
appellant ‘‘[w]hat action would you like
the Board to take in this case [,]’’ has
been eliminated, as superfluous.
Moreover, the language of current box
20 (revised box 17), has been changed
to eliminate the request for information
about the agency against which any
negotiated grievance has been filed (as
this agency will almost certainly be the
same as the one having taken the
personnel action itself). Finally, revised
boxes 18 and 19, requesting information
related to exhaustion of remedies in IRA
and USERRA/VEOA appeals,
respectively, replace current boxes 31,
32, and 33.
Part 3—OPM or Agency Retirement
Decision: This section remains largely
unchanged. Current boxes 26 and 27,
requesting information regarding if and
when a final retirement decision has
been received, have been consolidated
into revised box 24. Current box 29,
asking the appellant ‘‘[w]hat action
