§ 990.105 - Designation of service organizations as representatives.

(a) Before a service organization may be recognized in an individual claim or appeal, there shall be filed a designation duly executed by the claimant or appellant, specifically conferring on the organization the authority to represent him in the presentation of his claim or appeal, and to receive information in connection therewith. This designation shall be on the form prescribed by OPM (OPM Form 307) and shall be presented to the office concerned, to be filed in connection with the claim or appeal. The designation shall be signed by the claimant or appellant.

(b) On receipt and approval of the designation, the service organization named therein shall be recognized as the sole agency for the presentation of the claim or appeal covered thereby, and no other organization shall be recognized in the presentation of that claim or appeal. The designation made by the claimant may be revoked by him at any time and a subsequent designation made, naming another organization. A subsequently executed designation constitutes a revocation of any existing designation. A designation may also be revoked by the organization named therein.
