5 CFR Part 1204
 

Availability of Official Information
AGENCY: Merit Systems Protection Board.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Merit Systems Protection Board is amending its rules to 
change the designation of the official with whom appeals of denials of 
Freedom of Information Act requests are to be filed.

EFFECTIVE DATE: December 19, 1994.

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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the recent reorganization of its 
headquarters offices, the Board abolished the position of Executive 
Director. Under the Board's rules at 5 CFR part 1204, the Executive 
Director was the official designated to decide appeals of denials of 
Freedom of Information Act requests. Under the new Board headquarters 
organization, the Chairman decides such appeals. Accordingly, the Board 
is amending its rules at 5 CFR part 1204 to designate the Chairman as 
the official with whom appeals of denials of Freedom of Information Act 
requests are to be filed.
    The Board is publishing this rule as a final rule pursuant to 5 
U.S.C. 1204(h).
