Testimony by MSPB Employees and Production of Official Records in Legal Proceedings

概要

The Merit Systems Protection Board seeks public comment on a proposed rule that would set out procedures that requesters would have to follow when making demands on or requests to an MSPB employee to produce official records or provide testimony relating to official information in connection with a legal proceeding in which the MSPB is not a party. The rule would establish procedures to respond to such demands and requests in an orderly and consistent manner. The proposed rule will promote uniformity in decisions, protect confidential information, provide guidance to requesters, and reduce the potential for both inappropriate disclosures of official information and wasteful allocation of agency resources.
