Practices and Procedures
The Merit Systems Protection Board is amending its rules of practice and procedure to change its time limits for filing appeals and petitions for review of initial decisions issued by MSPB judges. The amendments to the time limits for filing appeals are intended to ensure that an appellant has a full 30 days to file after the event from which the time period begins to run. The amendment to the time limit for filing a petition for review is intended to ensure that a petitioner has a full 30 days to file after the date of receipt of the initial decision issued by the judge. The purpose of these amendments is to provide guidance to the parties to MSPB cases and their representatives regarding filing requirements. The Board is simultaneously amending its rules at 5 CFR part 1209 with respect to the time limits for filing whistleblower appeals.
