What the agency says
The Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB or Board) is amending its regulations to remove certain appeal rights to MSPB for actions related to placement or movement of a civil service employee into an excepted service position without civil service protection. This rule reflects the Office of Personnel Management's (OPM's) recission of these rights.
