The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is issuing final regulations to revise how an applicant, appointee, or employee may appeal a suitability action taken under 5 CFR part 731. OPM will replace the Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB) as the adjudicative agency for such appeals.

OPM will replace the Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB) as the adjudicative agency for such appeals.
