which will be discontinued once this

Initial Appeal Form (Form 185) for this
new collection is substantially similar to
the currently approved Initial Appeal
Form. Also following approval of this
new collection, MSPB will deploy a
new, modernized platform for its eAppeal system that collects the
information required to initiate an

Form.MSPB is authorized to adjudicate

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

16:47 Apr 24, 2023
Jkt 259001
U.S.C. 7701(a); 5 U.S.C. 1204. The Board
has published its regulations for
processing appeals at 5 CFR parts 1201,
1208, and 1209, which include the
information required to be submitted to
initiate a new appeal. Individuals must
provide this information in writing and
are not required to use a particular
format.
The purpose of collecting the
information is to ensure that individuals
submit the required information to file
an appeal, as set forth in MSPB’s
regulations. While no specific format is
required, MSPB provides an appeal
form, MSPB Form 185 (Initial Appeal
Form), to assist individuals in the
efficient and timely submission of the
information.
As set forth in statute and regulation,
MSPB is a quasi-judicial agency of
limited jurisdiction. The Board’s
regulations require that appellants
provide certain information when filing
an appeal so that the Board can
determine whether it has jurisdiction
over the appeal and whether the appeal
has been filed within the applicable
time limit. Although an appeal may be
filed in any format, including letter
form, the Initial Appeal Form is
designed to assist individuals in
submitting the required information,
and to ensure that individuals file
appeals that meet the jurisdictional
requirements of MSPB. The information
required to file an appeal is set forth at
5 CFR 1201.24, 1208.13, 1208.23, and
1209.6. Once obtained, this information
allows MSPB to docket the appeal for
assignment to an administrative judge to
adjudicate the appeal. If this
information is not collected, the process
of determining whether MSPB has
jurisdiction over any given appeal and
any subsequent adjudication will be less
efficient and more time consuming.
While this is a new information
collection, MSPB has a currently
approved information collection, OMB
No. 3124–0009, which collects the same
information. MSPB has used the
information collected through OMB No.
3124–0009 to determine whether MSPB
has jurisdiction over any given appeal,
and to docket those appeals for
adjudication. MSPB is submitting this
information collection as a new
collection—instead of a renewal of the
existing collection—to make an
administrative change to the type of
collection in accordance with the PRA.
This change is unrelated to the overall
purpose and use of the information
collection. Following OMB approval of
this new collection, the existing

collection, OMB No. 3124–0009, will be
discontinued.
Appeal Form 185
The Initial Appeal Form (Form 185)
for this new collection is substantially
similar to the currently-approved Initial
Appeal Form with the following
updates. The instructions at the
beginning of the PDF version of the
Initial Appeal Form have been updated
to address changes in laws or
regulations. In addition, the Privacy Act
Statement and Public Reporting Burden
notice have been updated and moved to
the second page of the Initial Appeal
Form. The list of agency personnel
actions in Part 2 of the Initial Appeal
Form has been updated to address
changes in laws. Other non-substantive
formatting issues have been made
throughout the Initial Appeal Form.
Title: Information Collection
Submission for ‘‘E-Appeal/U.S. Merit
Systems Protection Board Appeal
Form.’’
OMB Number: 3124–0NEW.
Type of Information Collection: This
will be a new information collection.
ICR Status: MSPB intends to request
approval of a new information
collection from OMB under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. 3506 and 3507). An Agency may
not conduct or sponsor, and a person is
not required to respond to, a collection
of information, unless it displays a
currently valid OMB control number.
Abstract of Proposed Collection: This
information collection is necessary to
ensure that individuals submit the
required information to file an appeal,
as set forth in MSPB’s regulations,
including information about the
appellant and the personnel action or
decision that is being appealed.
Affected Public: Individuals and
Households.
Estimated Total Number of
Respondents: 5,000.
Estimated Frequency of Responses:
Once per year.
Estimated Total Average Number of
Responses for Each Respondent: 1.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 7,500.
Estimated Total Cost: $294,075.
Comments: Comments should be
submitted as indicated in the ADDRESSES
caption above. Comments are solicited
to: (a) evaluate whether the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of MSPB,
including whether the information shall
have practical utility; (b) evaluate the
accuracy of MSPB’s estimate of the

(c) enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; (d) minimize the burden of
the collection of information on
respondents, including through the use
of automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology;
and (e) evaluate the estimates of capital
or start-up costs and costs of operation,
maintenance, and purchase of services
to provide information. Burden means
the total time, effort, or financial
resources expended by persons to
generate, maintain, retain, disclose or
provide information to or for a Federal
agency. This includes the time needed
to review instructions; to develop,
acquire, install and utilize technology
and systems for the purpose of
collecting, validating and verifying
information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing
and providing information; to train
personnel and to be able to respond to
a collection of information, to search
data sources, to complete and review
the collection of information; and to
transmit or otherwise disclose the
information.
