E-Appeal/U.S. Merit Systems Protection Board Appeal Form

OMB 3124-0017 · MSPB.

OMB 3124-0017

The U.S. Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB or Board) is seeking approval of a new Information Collection Request (ICR) in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA). The ICR will be submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and clearance. This information collection is part of MSPB’s statutory mission to adjudicate appeals of certain Federal agency personnel and retirement actions and certain alleged violations of law. The information collection instruments consist of the Initial Appeal Form in different collection mediums: paper, Portable Document Format (PDF), and through MSPB’s electronic filing system, e-Appeal. Through this collection and approval process, MSPB is complying with normal clearance procedures. MSPB has a currently approved collection, OMB No. 3124-0009, E-Appeal/U.S. Merit Systems Protection Board Appeal Form, which will be discontinued once this collection has been approved. The Initial Appeal Form (Form 185) for this new collection is substantially similar to the currently approved Initial Appeal Form. Also following approval of this new collection, MSPB will deploy a new, modernized platform for its e-Appeal system that collects the information required to initiate an appeal. Included in this process are collections related to the administration of the appeals process, including point of contact information and technical support request form.

The latest form for E-Appeal/U.S. Merit Systems Protection Board Appeal Form expires 2026-09-30 and can be found here.
