program helps to ensure that requested 

data can be provided in the desired 

format, reporting burden (time and 

financial resources) is minimized, 

collection instruments are clearly 

understood, and the impact of collection 

requirements on respondents can be 

properly assessed. The Bureau of Labor

concerning the proposed extension 

without change of ‘‘General Inquiries to 

State Agency Contacts.’’ A copy of the 

proposed information collection request 

can be obtained by contacting the 

individual listed below in the 

ADDRESSES section of this notice.

programs’ management and operations, 

it is necessary to conduct ongoing

its State partners. Whether information 

requests deal with program deliverables, 

program enhancements, operations, or 

administrative issues, questions and 

dialogue are crucial to the successful 

implementation of these programs.

other forms of information technology, 

e.g., permitting electronic submissions 

of responses.

MERIT SYSTEMS PROTECTION 

BOARD 

Privacy Act of 1974; System of 

Records 

AGENCY: U.S. Merit Systems Protection 

Board. 

ACTION: Notice of a new system of 

records. 

SUMMARY: In accordance with the 

Privacy Act of 1974 (Privacy Act), the 

U.S. Merit Systems Protection Board 

(MSPB or Board) proposes to establish 

a new MSPB system of records titled 

‘‘Surveys for Special Studies of the Civil 

Service.’’ This system of records 

contains information that MSPB 

collects, maintains, and uses in order to 

develop and administer the Merit 

Principles Survey (MPS) and other 

surveys for special studies of the civil 

service and to evaluate and distribute 

the results of such surveys. This system 

of records will be included in MSPB’s 

inventory of record systems. 

DATES: Please submit comments on or 

before February 26, 2021. This new 

system is effective upon publication in 

today’s Federal Register, with the 

exception of the routine uses, which are 

effective February 26, 2021. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit written 

comments to the Office of the Clerk of 

the Board by any of the following 

methods: By email to privacy@mspb.gov 

or by mail to Clerk of the Board, U.S. 

Merit Systems Protection Board, 1615 M 

Street NW, Washington, DC 20419. All 

comments must reference ‘‘MSPB—2, 

Surveys for Special Studies of the Civil 

Service.’’ Regardless of the method used 

for submitting comments or material, all 

submissions will be posted, without 

change, to MSPB’s website 

(www.mspb.gov) and will include any 

personal information you provide, such 

as your name, address, phone number, 

email address, or any other personally 

identifying information in your 

comment or materials. Therefore, any 

submissions will be made public and 

without change. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Fon 

Muttamara at (202) 653–7200. You may 

submit written questions to the Office of 

the Clerk of the Board by any of the 

following methods: By email to 

privacy@mspb.gov or by mail to Clerk of 

the Board, U.S. Merit Systems 

Protection Board, 1615 M Street NW, 

Washington, DC 20419. Please include 

‘‘MSPB—2, Surveys for Special Studies 

of the Civil Service’’ with your 

question(s). 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 

accordance with the Privacy Act, 5 

U.S.C. 552a, MSPB proposes to establish 

a new system of records titled ‘‘Surveys 

for Special Studies of the Civil Service.’’ 

This system of records is being 

established in order to develop and 

administer the Merit Principles Survey 

(MPS), along with other surveys for 

special studies of the civil service and 

to evaluate and distribute the results of 

such surveys. This system of records 

contains information that MSPB 

collects, maintains, and uses regarding 

individuals who are potential or actual 

survey respondents. 

MSPB was instituted under the Civil 

Service Reform Act of 1978 and 

administers surveys under its general 

authorities to conduct studies and 

research on matters relevant to the 

MSPs and Prohibited Personnel 

Practices (PPPs). The statute (5 U.S.C. 

1204(a)(3)) also authorizes a ‘‘special 

studies’’ function, under which MSPB 

has the authority to conduct studies 

when it deems appropriate on the topics 

it deems appropriate, so long as the 

studies relate to ‘‘the civil service and 

to other merit systems in the executive 

branch[.]’’ This function enables MSPB 

to independently conduct research and 

present the subsequent findings to the 

President, Congress, and other Federal 

human capital stakeholders so that they 

can have access to information to aid in 

their decision-making processes. 

MSPB established the MPS in support 

of its statutory responsibility to assess 

the health of Federal merit systems. 

MSPB has conducted the MPS since 

1983 as part of its statutory oversight 

responsibilities (5 U.S.C. 1204(a)(3) and 

5 U.S.C. 1204(e)(3)). The survey tracks 

a variety of Federal workforce issues 

related to the MSPs and PPPs, with 

results reported to the President and 

Congress and shared with Federal 

policy-makers and decision-makers. 

This survey differs from the Federal 

Employee Viewpoint Survey 

administered by the Office of Personnel 

Management (OPM) in several respects, 

such as: A focus on MSPs and PPPs and 

human resources policy and practice; 

administration every few years instead 

of annually; and a smaller sample, and 

use of non-recurring questions to delve 

into discrete topics of interest. MSPB 

conducted Government-wide MPS 

administrations as part of its program of 

survey research in 1983, 1986, 1989, 

1992, 1996, 2000, 2005, 2007, 2010, and 

2016. In addition, MSPB has 

administered and collected data from 

other surveys, such as the 2007 Career 

Advancement Survey, 2009 MSPB 

Federal Telework Survey, and the 2011 

Fair and Open Competition Survey. 

The MPS and other surveys 

conducted by MSPB are tools that
