Other Information:

Summary of results for Performance Goal 1.1: This Performance Goal was MET. Ninety-two percent of MSPB decisions were unchanged on review by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, which meets the FY 2010 performance target. The percent of cases decided by the Board on PFR that were reversed and/or remanded to MSPB judges, adjusted for those cases that were not due to an error or oversight by the AJ, was 9%, slightly fewer than the performance target of 10%. The percent of cases left unchanged by the court has varied from 87% to 93% over the last five years. The FY 2011 target of 92% or greater for percent of cases left unchanged by the Court is near the best actual result demonstrated in recent years. There is considerable year-to-year variability in PFR remands and reversals. Therefore, the FY 2011 target for this measure will remain 10% or fewer.
