NOTES

1) MSPB 6(c) Appeals - Ranger Activities needs to hear from those rangers
who have twenty-year retirement MSPB hearings slated for January or
February.  If you have such a hearing pending, please send along the
following information to Jim Brady or Dick Martin:

* Your name, address, park and phone number
* The date and location of the hearing
* The name and phone number of the judge or hearing official

As soon as the Department of Interior receives authorization from OPM to
resolve 6(c) cases, Departmental representatives will contact those MSPB
judges/hearing officers and ask that the cases be remanded for Departmental
review and reconsideration.  Rangers with such appeals in the works should
nonetheless continue their appeals and NOT withdraw them.  Instructions on
all aspects of the review process for past 6(c) claims will be transmitted
in the near future.  [Jim Brady, RAD/WASO]
