Privacy Act of 1974; Amendment of Privacy Act System of Records

Résumé

The Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB or the Board) is issuing public notice of its intent to amend a Government-wide system of records that it maintains subject to the Privacy Act of 1974 (5 U.S.C. 552a). MSPB/GOVT-1, "Appeals and Case Records," is being amended to reflect the Board's implementation of a Document Management System (DMS) to manage all documents created by the Board during the processing of a case and all documents that are received electronically from the parties. (At present, the DMS is used only to manage documents created by the Board.
