Notice.

17:23 Feb 07, 2013
All briefs submitted in response
to this notice must be received by the
Clerk of the Board on or before March
1, 2013.
DATES:
The Merit Systems Protection
Board (MSPB or Board) announces the
opportunity to file amicus briefs in the
matter of Thomas F. Day v. Department
of Homeland Security, MSPB Docket
Number SF–1221–12–0528–W–1,
currently pending before the Board on
interlocutory appeal. The administrative
judge certified for interlocutory review
the question of whether the provisions
of the Whistleblower Protection
Enhancement Act of 2012 (WPEA), 112
Public Law 199, may be applied
retroactively to pending cases involving
conduct occurring prior to its effective
date.
Of particular relevance in Day is the
question of the retroactive effect of
section 101(b)(2)(B) of the WPEA, which
provides in relevant part that a
disclosure made to an alleged
wrongdoer or during an employee’s
normal course of duties is not excluded
from protection against reprisal under 5
U.S.C. 2302(b)(8). In Huffman v. Office
of Personnel Management, 263 F.3d
1341, 1352 (Fed. Cir. 2001), the U.S.
Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit
held that a disclosure made as part of an
employee’s normal duties, and through
normal channels, was not protected
under the Whistleblower Protection Act
(WPA). The court in Huffman further
held that a complaint made to a
supervisor regarding the supervisor’s
own alleged wrongdoing was not
protected under the WPA. Id. at 1350.
The Board has applied the holdings in
Huffman as binding precedent. See, e.g.,
SUMMARY:
VerDate Mar<15>2010
Stiles v. Department of Homeland
Security, 116 M.S.P.R. 263, ¶ 15 (2011).
Therefore, the Board must determine in
Day whether to apply the WPEA
standard or the Huffman standard in
determining whether disclosures that
occurred prior to the effective date of
the WPEA are entitled to protection.
Information about the Day case and the
WPEA may be found on the Board’s
Web site at www.mspb.gov/
SignificantCases.
Interested individuals or
organizations may submit amicus briefs
or other comments on the question
presented in Day no later than March 1,
2013. Amicus briefs must be filed with
the Clerk of the Board. Briefs shall not
exceed 30 pages in length. The text shall
be double-spaced, except for quotations
and footnotes, and the briefs shall be on
81⁄2 by 11 inch paper with one inch
margins on all four sides. All amicus
briefs received will be posted on the
Board’s Web site at www.mspb.gov/
SignificantCases after March 1, 2013.
Jkt 229001
All briefs shall be captioned
‘‘Thomas F. Day v. Department of
Homeland Security’’ and entitled
‘‘Amicus Brief.’’ Only one copy of the
brief need be submitted. The Board
encourages interested parties to submit
amicus briefs as attachments to
electronic mail addressed to
mspb@mspb.gov. An email should
contain a subject line indicating that the
submission contains an amicus brief in
the Day case. Any commonly-used word
processing format or PDF format is

image formats. Briefs may also be filed
with William D. Spencer, Clerk of the
Board, Merit Systems Protection Board,
1615 M Street NW., Washington, DC
