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
would you like the Board to take in this
case[,]’’ has been eliminated, as
superfluous.
Part 4—Designation of Representative:
As previously noted, the current Part 4,
soliciting information about affirmative
defenses, has been eliminated. The
revised Part 4 replaces the current Part
6, with some slight changes in language.
Part 5—Certification: As previously
noted, the current Part 5, providing
information about IRA, USERRA, and
VEOA appeals, has been eliminated.
The revised Part 5 contains the
appellant certification, presently
included in Part 1 of the form, along
with the Privacy Act Statement and
Public Reporting Burden.
Appendix A and B: As previously
noted, Appendix A provides
information regarding affirmative
defenses and IRA, USERRA, and VEOA
appeals, as well as the special time
limits for filing such appeals, making
this material available to those to whom
it applies, while otherwise streamlining
71641
and simplifying the appeal form itself.
Appendix B provides full contact
information for each of the Board’s
regional offices, together with their
corresponding geographic areas.
Estimated Reporting Burden
In accordance with the requirements
of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995,
the MSPB is soliciting comments on the
public reporting burden for this
information collection. 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.
Specifically, the MSPB invites
comments on: (1) Whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of MSPB’s
functions, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(2) the accuracy of the MSPB’s estimate
of burden of the proposed collection of
information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
(3) ways to enhance the quality, utility,
and clarity of the information to be
collected; and (4) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on respondents, including through the
use of automated collection techniques,
when appropriate, and other forms of
information technology.
