MERIT SYSTEMS PROTECTION BOARD

5 CFR Part 1207


Enforcement of Nondiscrimination on the Basis of Disability in 
Programs or Activities

AGENCY: Merit Systems Protection Board.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB or ``the Board'') is 
publishing final regulations that adopt previously published interim 
regulations revising 5 CFR part 1207. These final regulations are 
necessary to reconcile the Board's regulations with Section 504 of the 
Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, 29 U.S.C. 794, and to clarify 
the procedures for processing those complaints filed against the Board 
that allege discrimination on the basis of disability during the 
Board's adjudication of a related employee appeal.

DATES: This rule is effective August 26, 2005.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Bentley M. Roberts, Jr., Clerk of the 
Board, Merit Systems Protection Board, 1615 M Street, NW., Washington, 
DC 20419; (202) 653-7200; fax: (202) 653-7130; or e-mail: 
[email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May 9, 2005, the Board published 
amendments to 5 CFR part 1207 as an interim rule with request for 
comments (70 FR 24293). The Board received no comments during the 60 
days allowed for receipt of public comments. This final rule makes no 
changes to the previously published interim rule. See 70 FR 24293 for 
additional information concerning the Board's revision of 5 CFR 1207.
    Accordingly, the Board adopts the interim rule published at 70 FR 
24293 on May 9, 2005, as a final rule effective August 26, 2005.

Bentley M. Roberts, Jr.,
Clerk of the Board.
