5 CFR Part 1209

 

Practices and Procedures for Appeals and Stay Requests of 
Personnel Actions Allegedly Based on Whistleblowing

AGENCY: Merit Systems Protection Board.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Merit Systems Protection Board is amending its rules to 
clarify the place of filing requirement for stay requests of personnel 
actions allegedly based on whistleblowing.

EFFECTIVE DATE: December 19, 1994.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Robert E. Taylor, Clerk of the Board, 
202-653-7200.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On March 30, 1994 (59 FR 14739), the Board 
published a revision to its rules at 5 CFR part 1201, appendix II and 
appendix III, to reflect the realignment of its regional office 
structure into six regional and five field offices. In the 
``SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION'' explaining that revision, the Board 
stated in part: ``Appeals and related matters will continue to be filed 
with either the regional or field office having geographic 
jurisdiction.'' The Board is now amending its rules at 5 CFR part 1209 
by adding ``or field'' after ``regional'' in Secs. 1209.8, 1209.9, and 
1209.10 to clarify the place of filing requirement for stay requests of 
personnel actions allegedly based on whistleblowing.
    The Board is publishing this rule as a final rule pursuant to 5 
U.S.C. 1204(h).
