Consolidate federal employee appeals in the MSPB
What the document says“The EEOC's federal employee section should be transferred to the MSPB, and many of the OCS's investigatory functions should be returned to the OPM.”
The chapter argues that a federal employee's choice of forum among the MSPB, EEOC, FLRA and OSC produces forum shopping and delay, and proposes moving the EEOC's federal employee section to the MSPB and returning many investigatory functions to OPM, so that the MSPB becomes the main reviewer of adverse actions. The text names no instrument for the transfer. "OCS" appears as printed; the chapter elsewhere refers to the Office of Special Counsel as OSC.
What the document actually says“The EEOC's federal employee section should be transferred to the MSPB, and many of the OCS's investigatory functions should be returned to the OPM.”
The part of the EEOC that handles government workers should move to the MSPB. And much of the digging the OSC does should go back to OPM.
A worker who is fired can protest to more than one agency. The book says workers shop for the one most likely to help them. It wants most protests sent to one board instead. That board is called the MSPB. The book does not say what law or order would do this.
Read against the documents indexed here on August 26, 2026, and nothing was found that answers this. The nearest document is a rule streamlining appeals from employees terminated during a probationary period. That changes procedure inside the existing forums. The chapter asks for the EEOC's federal employee section to be moved to the MSPB and investigatory functions returned to OPM, which is a transfer between agencies, and nothing indexed here does that. That is a record of a search, not a finding that nothing has happened: an act this site does not hold, or one that answers the proposal in words unlike its own, would not be caught by it.
