SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: MSPB intends to request approval for a 
reinstatement and revision of a previously approved information

displays a currently valid OMB control number.
    Abstract of Proposed Collection: This collection is part of MSPB's 
compliance efforts pursuant to Executive Order 12862, ``Setting 
Customer Service Standards,'' which mandates that agencies identify 
their customers and survey them to determine the kind and quality of

clarity of the information to be collected; (d) minimize the burden of 
the collection of information on respondents, including through the use

or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This includes the 
time needed to review instructions; to develop, acquire, install, and 
utilize technology and systems for the purpose of collecting, 
validating and verifying information, processing and maintaining 
information, and disclosing and providing information; to train 
personnel and to be able to respond to a collection of information, to 
search data sources, to complete and review the collection of 
information; and to transmit or otherwise disclose the information.
