MERIT SYSTEMS PROTECTION BOARD ISSUES RULE: APPELLATE JURISDICTION UPDATE

WASHINGTON, Feb. 23 -- Merit Systems Protection Board has issued a rule called: Appellate Jurisdiction Update.

The rule was published in the Federal Register on Feb. 23 by Gina K. Grippando, Clerk of the Board.

Summary: The Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB or Board) is amending its regulations to remove certain appeal rights to MSPB for actions related to placement or movement of a civil service employee into an excepted service position without civil service protection. This rule reflects the Office of Personnel Management's (OPM's) recission of these rights.
