MERIT SYSTEMS PROTECTION BOARD

5 CFR Part 1203


Procedures for Review of Rules and Regulations of the Office of 
Personnel Management

AGENCY: Merit Systems Protection Board.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB or the Board) is 
amending its rules of practice and procedure in this part to reflect a 
change in a statutory citation.

EFFECTIVE DATE: September 27, 2000.

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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Merit Systems Protection Board is 
amending its rules of practice and procedure for review of rules and 
regulations of the Office of Personnel Management to reflect a change 
in a statutory citation. Section 6(a)(2) of the Veterans Employment 
Opportunities Act of 1998 (Pub. L. 105-339) redesignated 5 U.S.C. 
2302(b)(11), which makes it a prohibited personnel practice to take or 
fail to take a personnel action that would violate any law, rule, or 
regulation implementing or directly concerning the merit system 
principles, as 5 U.S.C. 2302(b)(12). That statutory provision is cited 
in the Board's regulations at 5 CFR 1203.11(b)(2), which describes the 
additional information that must be submitted with a request for review 
of an OPM regulation where that prohibited personnel practice is at 
issue. Therefore, the Board is amending its regulations at 5 CFR 
1203.11(b)(2) to conform to the redesignated statutory provision.
    The Board is publishing this rule as a final rule pursuant to 5 
U.S.C. 1204(h).

List of Subjects in 5 CFR Part 1203

    Administrative practice and procedure, Civil rights, Government 
employees.

    Accordingly, the Board amends 5 CFR part 1203 as follows:

PART 1203--PROCEDURES FOR REVIEW OF RULES AND REGULATIONS OF THE

Sec. 1203.11  [Amended]

    2. Amend Sec. 1203.11 in paragraph (b)(2) by removing ``5 U.S.C. 
2302(b)(11)'' and adding, in its place, ``5 U.S.C. 2302(b)(12)''.

    Dated: September 21, 2000.
