    Solicitation of Federal Civilian and Uniformed Service Personnel 
    for Contributions to Private Voluntary Organizations
    
    agency: Office of Personnel Management.
    
    action: Proposed rule.
    
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------
    
    summary: The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is issuing proposed 
    regulations governing the solicitation of Federal civilian and 
    uniformed services personnel for contribution to private voluntary 
    organizations under the authority of Executive Order 12353 (March 23, 
    1982). Private voluntary organizations and OPM's Inspector General have 
    indicated a need for clarifying or changing current procedures for 
    soliciting Federal employees in the workplace. These regulations 
    propose a number of changes to improve procedural operations and 
    accountability for the annual charitable solicitation campaign 
    conducted by Federal personnel in their Government workplaces and set 
    forth ground rules under which charitable organizations may receive 
    contributions from Federal personnel through the Combined Federal 
    Campaign.
    
    dates: Comments must be submitted on or before April 17, 1995.
    
    addresses: All comments concerning these proposed regulations should be 
    addressed to Gerri Mason Hall, Counsel for Extragovernmental Affairs, 
    U.S. Office of Personnel Management, 1900 E Street NW., Room 6H28, 
    Washington, DC 20415.
    
    for further information contact: Jeffrey C. Lee, Assistant Counsel for 
    Extragovernmental Affairs, (202) 606-2564.
    
    supplementary information: These regulations are proposed to implement 
    a number of procedural changes to the operations of the Combined 
    Federal Campaign (CFC). These proposed changes to the regulations 
    include, but are not limited to:
        More clearly defining the scope and meaning of workplace 
    solicitations in the Federal government;
        Identification of the circumstances where the Director may 
    authorize solicitations of Federal employees in the workplace outside 
    of the CFC;
        Clarification of procedural requirements for charitable 
    organizations seeking participation in the CFC;
        Expanding local eligibility by defining and enumerating criteria 
    for organizations that provide services on a statewide basis;
        Authorizing the use of a ``perpetual'' payroll allotment (pledge 
    card) that, once completed, would remain in effect until changed or 
    cancelled by the donor-employee;
        Removing all general designation options not required by statute.
        Expanding the solicitation methods and the pool of potential 
    donors.
        These proposed regulations are consistent with the restrictions 
    placed on OPM by section 618 of the Treasury, Postal Service, and 
    General Government Appropriations Act for 1988.
    
    Regulatory Flexibility Act
    
        I certify that these regulations will not have a significant 
    economic impact on a substantial number of small entities because it 
    will only effect those charitable organizations that participate in the 
    CFC.
    
    Paperwork Reduction Act
    
        The collection of information requirements in this part have been 
    approved by the Office of Management and Budget and assigned OMB 
    control number 3206-0131.

    Sec. 950.102  Scope of the Combined Federal Campaign.
    
        (a) The CFC is the only authorized charitable fundraising drive in 
    the Federal workplace. A campaign may be conducted during a 6 week 
    period, as determined by the LFCC, from September 1 through December 15 
    at every Federal agency in the campaign community in accordance with 
    these regulations. Except as provided in this section, no other 
    solicitation on behalf of charitable organizations may be conducted in 
    the Federal workplace. Upon written request, the Director may grant 
    permission for solicitations of Federal employees in support of victims 
    of cases of emergencies and disasters. Emergencies and disasters are 
    defined as any hurricane, tornado storm, flood, high water, wind-driven 
    water, tidal wave, tsunami, earthquake, volcanic eruption, landslide, 
    mudslide, snowstorm, drought, fire, explosion, or other catastrophe in 
    any part of the world. No such permission will be granted for such 
    solicitations during the period September 1 through December 15.
        (b) These regulations do not apply to the collection of gifts-in-
    kind, such as food, clothing and toys, or to the solicitation of 
    Federal employees outside of the Federal workplace as defined by the 
    applicable Agency Head consistent with General Services Administration 
    regulations 41 CFR 101-20.308, government ethics regulations 5 CFR part 
    2635, and any other applicable laws and/or regulations.
        (c) The Director exercises general supervision over all operations 
    of the CFC, and takes all necessary steps to ensure the achievement of 
    campaign objectives. Any disputes relating to the interpretation or 
    implementation of this part may be submitted to the Director for 
    resolution. The decisions and rulings of the Director are final for 
    administrative purposes.
        (d) Heads of departments or agencies may establish policies and 
    procedures applicable to solicitations conducted by organizations 
    composed of civilian employees or members of the uniformed services 
    among their own members for organizational support or for the benefit 
    of welfare funds for their members. Such solicitations are not subject 
    to these regulations, and therefore do not require permission of the 
    Director.
    
    
    Sec. 950.103  Establishing a local campaign.
    
        (a) The Director establishes and maintains the official list of 
    local campaigns and the geographical area each covers. There is no 
    prerequisite regarding the federal employee population needed to 
    establish or maintain a CFC. However, rather than establishing or 
    maintaining small campaigns, OPM encourages mergers and expansions of 
    campaigns to promote efficiency and economy.
        (b) The Director establishes an LFCC to govern the conduct of the 
    local CFC. The LFCC will, whenever possible, be comprised of members of 
    local Federal inter-agency organizations, such as Federal Executive 
    Boards, Federal Executive Associations, Federal Business Associations 
    or, in the absence of such organizations, self-organized associations 
    of local Federal officials. These groups will include local Federal 
    agency heads or their representatives. It will also include, wherever 
    possible, representatives of employee unions and other employee groups. 
    The LFCC Chair should be rotated among its members. For continuity, 
    each LFCC should appoint a Vice Chair who would be expected to serve as 
    the Chair in the following year.
        (c) The agency head to each Federal installation within a campaign 
    area shall:
        (1) Become familiar with all CFC regulations,
        (2) Cooperate with the representatives of the LFCC and PCFO in 
    organizing and conducting the campaign,
        (3) Initiate official campaigns within their offices or 
    installations and provide support for the campaign, and
        (4) Assure the campaign is conducted in accordance with these 
    regulations.
        (d) Once a campaign has been established, agency heads may not 
    discontinue solicitation of Federal employees within their organization 
    without the written approval of the Director. [[Page 8963]] 
        (e) Any change in the geographical boundaries of local campaigns 
    may be made only upon the express written permission of the Director.
        (f) Each year the LFCC must establish the 6 week time period to 
    solicit employees. Each campaign should not be conducted for more than 
    a 6 week period. However, in unusual circumstances the LFCC may extend 
    the campaign as local conditions require. The solicitation may not 
    begin before September 1 and in no event will it extend beyond December 
    15 of each year.
        (g) Current Federal civilian and active duty military employees may 
    be solicited for contributions using payroll deduction, checks, money 
    orders or cash. Contractor personnel, credit union employees and other 
    persons employed on Federal premises may make single contributions to 
    the CFC through check or money order. Retired Federal employees may 
    also make single contributions to the CFC through check or money order.
        (h) A Federal employee whose official duty station is outside the 
    geographic boundaries of an established CFC may not be solicited in 
    that CFC. A Federal employee may participate in a particular CFC only 
    if that employee's official duty station is located within the 
    geographic boundaries of that CFC.
    
    
    Sec. 950.104  Local Federal Coordinating Committee responsibilities.
    
        (a) All members of the LFCC should develop an understanding of 
    campaign regulations and procedures. The LFCC is the central point of 
    information regarding the CFC among Federal employees.
        (b) The responsibilities of the LFCC include, but are not limited 
    to, the following:
        (1) Maintaining minutes of LFCC meetings and responding promptly to 
    any request for information for the Director.
        (2) Naming a campaign chairperson and notifying the Director when 
    the chairperson changes.
        (3) Determining the eligibility of local organizations that apply 
    to participate in the local campaign. This is the exclusive 
    responsibility of the LFCC and may not be delegated to the PCFO.
        (4) Ensuring that the list of charities found by the Director to be 
    nationally eligible to participate in all local campaigns is reproduced 
    in the local brochure in accordance with these regulations.
        (5) Ensuring that the local brochure and pledge card are produced 
    in accordance with these regulations and instructions for the Director.
        (6) Encouraging local Federal agencies to appoint loaned executives 
    to assist in the campaign. Federal agency heads are encouraged to grant 
    administrative leave to all loaned executives appointed to assist in 
    the conduct of the CFC. Federal loaned executives are prohibited from 
    working on non-CFC fundraising activities.
        (7) Establishing a thorough network of employee keyworkers and 
    volunteers; and participating in interagency briefing sessions and 
    kick-off meetings.
        (8) Ensuring that, to the extent reasonably possible, every 
    employee is given the opportunity to participate in the CFC, and 
    ensuring employee designations are honored.
        (9) Ensuring that the PCFO includes in keyworker training 
    instructions to encourage employees to designate the charitable 
    organizations they wish to receive their donations and specific 
    information on how general designation monies are distributed.
        (10) Ensuring that contributions are distributed in accordance with 
    the method described in these regulations.
        (11) Ensuring that no employee is coerced in any way to participate 
    in the campaign.
        (12) Bringing allegations of coercion to the attention of the 
    Director and the employee's agency and providing a mechanism to review 
    employee complaints of undue pressure and coercion in Federal 
    fundraising. Federal agencies shall provide procedures and assign 
    responsibility for the investigation of such complaints. Personnel 
    offices should be responsible for information employees of the proper 
    channels for pursuing such complaints.
        (13) Notifying the Director of any other significant problems or 
    controversies concerning the campaign that the LFCC can not resolve by 
    applying these regulations. The LFCC must abide by the Director's 
    decisions on all matters concerning the campaign.
        (14) Ensuring the PCFO selected or retained does not use the 
    services of consulting firms, advertising firms or similar business 
    organizations to perform the policy-making or decision-making functions 
    in the CFC. A PCFO may, however, contract with entities or individuals 
    such as banks, accountants, lawyers, and other vendors of goods and/or 
    services to assist in accomplishing its ministerial tasks.
        (15) Ensuring that the activities and functions required of the 
    PCFO are kept separate from any non-CFC operations of the organization. 
    The LFCC must verify that the PCFO keeps and maintains CFC financial 
    records and interest bearing bank accounts separate from the PCFO's 
    non-CFC financial records and bank accounts.
        (16) Monitoring the work of the PCFO, and inspecting closely the 
    annual audit required of the PCFO pursuant to Sec. 950.105(d)(9) for 
    compliance with these regulations.
        (17) Authorizing to the PCFO the administrative fee described in 
    Sec. 950.106(d) and reimbursement of only those campaign expenses that 
    are legitimate CFC costs and are adequately documented. Total 
    documented expenses may not exceed the approved campaign budget by more 
    than 10 percent.
        (c) The LFCC must annually solicit applications for the PCFO via 
    public notice no later than February 1 of each calendar year. Costs 
    incurred in providing the public notice should be added to the PCFO 
    budget for the current campaign year as an administrative cost. The 
    LFCC shall select a PCFO to act as its fiscal agent and campaign 
    coordinator on the basis of presentations made to the local committee 
    as described in Sec. 950.105. The LFCC shall consider the efficiency 
    and effectiveness of the campaign as the primary factors in selecting a 
    PCFO.
        (d) A federated group(s) or charitable organization may be barred 
    from serving as PCFO for 1 year if found by the Director to have 
    violated these regulations. A federated group(s) or charitable 
    organization serving as PCFO will be notified of the Director's intent 
    to bar and have an opportunity to submit written comments prior to its 
    becoming effective. The Director's decision as to debarment shall be 
    communicated in writing to the LFCC and PCFO, and the LFCC shall not 
    consider an application from such group(s) or organization to serve as 
    the PCFO during terms of debarment.
    
    
    Sec. 950.105  Principal Combined Fund Organization (PCFO) 
    responsibilities.
    
        (a) Only federations, charitable organizations or combinations 
    thereof may serve as the PCFO.
        (b) The primary goal of the PCFO is to conduct an effective and 
    efficient campaign in a fair and even-handed manner aimed at collecting 
    the greatest amount of charitable contributions possible. Therefore, 
    PCFO's should afford federated groups and agencies with representatives 
    in the local campaign area adequate opportunity to offer suggestions 
    relating to the operation of the campaign, printed campaign material, 
    and training. If requested in writing to either the LFCC or PCFO, 
    federated groups and agencies must be given the opportunity to attend 
    all campaign meetings, kick-off events, [[Page 8964]] and training 
    sessions. The PCFO must provide representatives of federated groups, 
    agencies and the general public the opportunity to review at the PCFO 
    office all reports, budgets, audits, training materials, and other 
    records pertaining to the CFC.
        (c) Any federation, charitable organization or combinations thereof 
    wishing to be selected for the PCFO must submit to the LFCC no later 
    than March 1 of each year an application that includes:
        (1) A written campaign plan sufficient in detail to allow the LFCC 
    to determine if the applicant could administer an efficient and 
    effective CFC. The campaign plan must include a CFC budget that details 
    all estimated costs required to operate the CFC. The budget may not be 
    based on the percentage of funds raised in the local campaign.
        (2) A statement signed by the applicant's local director or 
    equivalent pledging to:
        (i) administer the CFC fairly and equitably,
        (ii) conduct campaign operations, such as training, kick-off and 
    other events, and fiscal operations, such as banking, auditing, 
    reporting and distribution separate from the applicant's non-CFC 
    operations, and
        (iii) abide by the directions, decisions, and supervision of the 
    LFCC and/or Director.
        (3) A statement signed by the applicant's local director or 
    equivalent acknowledging the applicant is subject to the provisions of 
    Sec. 950.403 and Sec. 950.603.
        (d) The specific responsibilities of the PCFO include but are not 
    limited to:
        (1) Honoring employee designations.
        (2) Helping to ensure no employee is coerced in any way regarding 
    participation in the campaign and that allegations of coercion are 
    brought to the attention of the appropriate Federal officials.
        (3) Training agency loaned executives, coordinators, and keyworkers 
    in the methods of non-coercive solicitation. This training must be 
    completely separate from training given for other types of charitable 
    campaign drives. Additionally, keyworkers should be trained to check to 
    ensure the pledge card is legible on each copy, verify arithmetical 
    calculations, and ensure the block on the pledge card concerning the 
    release of the employee's name and address is completed fully.
        (4) Ensuring that no employee is questioned in any way as to his or 
    her designation or its amount except by keyworkers in accord with 
    paragraph (d)(3) of this section.
        (5) Preparing pledge cards and brochures that are consistent with 
    these regulations and instructions by the Director.
        (6) Honoring the request of employees who indicate on the pledge 
    card that their names not be released to the organization(s) that they 
    designate.
        (7) Maintaining a detailed schedule of its actual CFC 
    administrative expenses with, to the extent possible, itemized receipts 
    for the expenses. The expense schedule must be in a format that can be 
    reconciled to the PCFO's budget submitted in accordance with paragraph 
    (c)(1) of this section
        (8) Keeping and maintaining CFC financial records and interest 
    bearing bank accounts separate from the PCFO's internal organizational 
    financial records and bank accounts. Interest earned on all CFC 
    accounts must be distributed in the same manner as undesignated funds 
    pursuant to Sec. 950.502. All financial records and bank accounts must 
    be kept in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
        (9) Submitting to the LFCC an audit of collections and 
    disbursements for each campaign managed no later than June 15 of the 
    year in which the last disbursement is made. For example, for the 1994 
    CFC the audit of the 1994 campaign must be submitted to the LFCC no 
    later than June 15, 1996. The audit must be performed by an independent 
    certified public accountant in accordance with generally accepted 
    auditing standards.
        (10) Absorbing the cost of any reprinting of campaign materials due 
    to its noncompliance with these regulations, embezzlement, or loss of 
    funds. A PCFO must also absorb campaign costs exceeding 10 percent of 
    the approved budget.
        (11) Designing and implementing CFC awards programs which are 
    accessible to all employees and which reflect the Government's 
    commitment to non-coercion. Awards to Federal agencies or employees by 
    individual federations or organizations for CFC accomplishments is 
    prohibited.
        (12) Communicating to all local applicants the date, time, and 
    place of the open public meeting where the LFCC will announce 
    eligibility decisions.
        (13) Producing any documents or information requested by the LFCC 
    and/or the Director within 10 calendar days of the receipt of that 
    request.
        (14) Responding in a timely and appropriate manner to reasonable 
    inquiries from participating organizations.
    
    
    Sec. 950.106  PCFO expense recovery.
    
        (a) The PCFO shall recover from the gross receipts of the campaign 
    its expenses, approved by the LFCC, reflecting the actual costs of 
    administering the local campaign. The amount recovered for campaign 
    expenses shall not exceed 10 percent of the estimated budget submitted 
    pursuant to Sec. 950.105(c)(1) unless approved by the Director.
        (b) The PCFO may only recover campaign expenses from receipts 
    collected for that campaign year. Expenses incurred preparing for and 
    conducting the CFC in the fall cannot be recovered from receipts 
    collected in the previous year's campaign. The PCFO may absorb the 
    costs associated with conducting the campaign from its own funds and be 
    reimbursed, or obtain a commercial loan to pay for costs associated 
    with conducting the campaign. If the commercial loan option is used, 
    the amount of a reasonable rate of interest is an allowable campaign 
    expense, subject to the approval of the LFCC when the PCFO budget is 
    submitted.
        (c) The campaign expenses will be shared proportionately by all the 
    recipient organizations reflecting their percentage share of gross 
    campaign receipts.
        (d) In addition to recovering campaign expenses, PCFO's shall also 
    collect a fee of 15 percent of the undesignated funds in each local 
    campaign for performing the functions of PCFO.
    
    
    Sec. 950.107  Lack of a qualified PCFO.
    
        There is no authority in statute or regulation for an LFCC or any 
    Federal official or employee to assume the duties and responsibilities 
    of the PCFO. In the event that there is no qualified PCFO, the LFCC 
    Chairman will promptly inform the Director in writing. The Director 
    will assist the LFCC in merging the campaign with an adjacent campaign 
    that has a qualified PCFO or identifying an eligible organization to 
    function as the campaign's PCFO. If the LFCC's of the adjacent 
    campaigns elect not to merge and a qualified PCFO cannot be found, the 
    local CFC will be canceled. No workplace solicitation of any Federal 
    employee in the campaign area is authorized and payroll allotments 
    cannot be accepted and honored during the duration of the cancellation 
    of the CFC.
    
    
    Sec. 950.108  Preventing coercive activity.
    
        True voluntary giving is fundamental to Federal fundraising 
    activities. Actions that do not allow free choices or create the 
    appearance employees do not have a free choice to give or not to 
    [[Page 8965]] give, or to publicize their gifts or to keep them 
    confidential, are contrary to Federal fundraising policy. Activities 
    contrary to the non-coercive intent of Federal fundraising policy are 
    not permitted in campaigns. They include, but are not limited to:
        (a) Solicitation of employees by their supervisor or by any 
    individual in their supervisory chain of command. This does not 
    prohibit the head of an agency to perform the usual activities 
    associated with the campaign kick-off and to demonstrate his or her 
    support of the CFC in employee newsletters or other routine 
    communications with the Federal employees.
        (b) Supervisory inquiries about whether an employee chose to 
    participate or not to participate or the amount of an employee's 
    donation. Supervisors may be given nothing more than summary 
    information about the major units that they supervise.
        (c) Setting of 100 percent participation goals.
        (d) Establishing personal dollar goals and quotas.
        (e) Developing and using lists of non-contributors.
        (f) Providing and using contributor lists for purposes other than 
    the routine collection and forwarding of contributions and allotments, 
    and as allowed under Sec. 950.601.
        (g) Using as a factor in a supervisor's performance appraisal the 
    results of the solicitation in the supervisor's unit or organization.
    
    
    Sec. 950.109  Avoidance of conflict of interest.
    
        Any Federal employee who serves on the LFCC, on the eligibility 
    committee, or as a Federal agency fundraising program coordinator, must 
    not participate in any decisions where, because of membership on the 
    board or other affiliation with a charitable organizations, there could 
    be or appear to be a conflict of interest under any statutes, Executive 
    order, or applicable agency standards of conduct. Under no 
    circumstances may an LFCC member affiliated with an organization 
    applying for inclusion on the local list, participate in the 
    eligibility determinations.
    
    
    Sec. 950.110  Prohibited discrimination.
    
        Discrimination for or against any individual or group on account of 
    race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, handicap, or 
    political affiliation is prohibited in all aspects of the management 
    and the execution of the CFC. Nothing herein denies eligibility to any 
    organization, which is otherwise eligible under this part to 
    participate in the CFC, merely because such organization is organized 
    by, on behalf of, or to serve persons of a particular race, color, 
    religion, sex, national origin, age, or handicap.
    
    Subpart B--Eligibility Provisions
    
    
    Sec. 950.201  National List eligibility.
    
        (a) The Director shall annually:
        (1) Determine the timetable and other procedures regarding 
    application for inclusion on the national list,

    Sec. 950.202  National List of eligibility requirements.
    
        All organizations seeking national list eligibility must:

    of services provided through an ``800'' telephone number or by sending 
    materials via the U.S. Mails or a combination thereof. In addition, 
    this requirement cannot be met by providing a service, benefit, 
    assistance or program activity in only one state to recipients who live 
    in a different state. A schedule listing those states (minimum 15) or 
    the foreign countries (minimum 1) where the program activities have

    activities were provided in each state or foreign country.
        (b) Certify that it is recognized by the Internal Revenue Service 
    as tax-exempt under 26 U.S.C. 501(c)(3) and to which contributions are

    application.
        (c) Certify that the organization has no expenses connected with 
    lobbying and attempts to influence voting or legislation at the local, 
    State, or Federal level or alternatively, that those expenses would 
    classify the organization as a tax-exempt organization under 26 U.S.C. 
    501(h).
    
    
    Sec. 950.203  Public accountability standards.
    
        (a) To insure organizations wishing to solicit donations from 
    Federal employees in the workplace are portraying accurately their 
    programs and benefits, several standards and certifications must be met 
    annually by each organization seeking national list eligibility. Each 
    organization wishing to participate must:
        (1) Certify that the organization is a human health and welfare 
    organization providing services, benefits, or assistance to, or 
    conducting activities affecting, human health and welfare. The 
    organization's application must provide documentation describing the 
    human health and welfare benefits provided by the organization within 
    the previous year.
        (2) Certify that it accounts for its funds in accordance with 
    generally accepted accounting principles and that an audit of the 
    organization's fiscal operations is completed annually by an 
    independent certified public accountant in accordance with generally 
    accepted auditing standards. Such audit must show expenses by function. 
    A copy of the organization's most recent annual audit must be included 
    with the application. The audit must cover the fiscal year ending not 
    more than 18 months prior to the January of the campaign year to which 
    the organization is applying. For example, the audit included in the 
    1994 [[Page 8966]] application must cover the fiscal period ending on 
    or after June 30, 1992.
        (3) Provide a completed copy of the organization's IRS Form 990, 
    including signature, with the application regardless of whether or not 
    the IRS requires the organization to file this form. IRS Forms 990EZ, 
    990PF, and comparable forms are not acceptable substitutes. The IRS 
    Form 990 and audit must cover the same fiscal period and, if revenue 
    and expenses on the two documents differ, these amounts must be 
    reconciled in an accompanying signed statement by the certified public 
    accountant who completed the audit.
        (4) Provide a computation of the organization's percentage of total 
    support and revenue spent on administration and fundraising. This 
    percentage shall be computed from information on the IRS Form 990, 
    submitted pursuant to Sec. 950.203(a)(3), by adding the amount spent on 
    ``management and general'' (line 14) to ``fundraising'' (line 15) and 
    then dividing the sum by ``total revenue'' (line 12).
        (i) If an organization's administrative and fundraising expenses 
    exceed 25 percent of its total support and revenue, it must certify 
    that its actual expenses for administration and fundraising are 
    reasonable due to special circumstances. It must provide an explanation 
    with its application and also include a formal plan to reduce these 
    expenses below 25 percent.
        (i) The Director may reject any application from an organization 
    with fundraising and administrative expenses in excess of 25 percent of 
    total support and revenue, unless the organization demonstrates to the 
    satisfaction of the Director that its actual expenses for those 
    purposes and its plan to reduce them are reasonable under the 
    circumstances. Failure to reduce the expenses to the 25 percent level 
    within one application year will render the organization ineligible for 
    the succeeding campaign.
        (5) Certify that the organization is directed by an active and 
    responsible governing body whose members have no material conflict of 
    interest and, a majority of which serve without compensation. A list of 
    the organization's Board of Directors and a description of each 
    Directors' participation in the conduct of the organization's affairs, 
    such as official positions and committee memberships, must be included 
    with the application.
        (6) Certify that the organization's fundraising practices protect 
    against unauthorized use of its CFC contributor lists as described in 
    Sec. 950.601(d).
        (7) Certify that its publicity and promotional activities are based 
    upon its actual program and operations, are truthful and non-deceptive, 
    and make no exaggerated or misleading claims.
        (8) Certify that contributions are effectively used for the 
    announced purposes of the charitable organization.
        (9) Certify under which governmental entity the charitable 
    organization is chartered, incorporated or organized (congressionally 
    chartered or the state in which it is registered).
        (10) Certify that the organization has received no more than 80 
    percent of its total support and revenues from government sources as 
    computed by dividing line 1c by line 12 from the IRS Form 990 submitted 
    pursuant to Sec. 950.203(a)(3).
        (11) Certify that the organization prepares and makes available to 
    the public upon request an annual report that includes a full 
    description of the orgranization's activities and supporting services 
    and identifies its directors and chief administrative personnel. A copy 
    of the organization's annual report must be included with the 
    application. The annual report must cover the fiscal year ending not 
    more than 18 months prior to January of the campaign year to which the 
    organization is applying. A more frequently published document, such as 
    a quarterly newsletter, may be used to meet this requirement provided 
    that such document is available to the general public upon request and 
    describes the organization's activities and supporting services and 
    identifies its directors and chief administrative personnel.
        (12) Provide a statement that the certifying official is authorized 
    by the organization to certify and affirm all statements required for 
    inclusion on the national list.
        (13) Provide a statement in 25 words or less describing the program 
    activities of the charitable organization. The 25-word statement need 
    not include the organization's name. In addition, organizations must 
    provide a telephone number, dedicated solely for the organization's 
    use, through which the donors may receive further information about the 
    organization. Except as provided in Sec. 950.401(k), this information 
    will be included in the campaign brochure listing of agencies along 
    with the organization's administrative and fundraising percentage 
    computed pursuant to Sec. 950.203(a)(3).
        (b) The Director shall review these applications for accuracy, 
    completeness, and compliance with these regulations. Failure to supply 
    any of this information may be judged a failure to comply with the 
    requirements of public accountability, and the charitable organization 
    may be ruled ineligible for inclusion on the national list.
        (c) The Director may request such additional information as the 
    Director deems necessary to complete these reviews. An organization 
    that fails to comply with such requests within 10 calendar days from 
    receipt of the request may be judged ineligible.
        (d) The required certifications and documentation must have been 
    completed and submitted prior to the application filing deadline. 
    Applications received that are incomplete may not be perfected during 
    the appeal process described in Sec. 950.205.
        (e) The Director may waive any of these standards and 
    certifications upon a showing of extenuating circumstances.
    
    
    Sec. 950.204  Local list eligibility.
    
        (a) The LFCC shall establish an annual application process 
    consistent with these regulations for organizations that wish to be

    LFCC, that it has a substantial local presence in the geographical area 
    covered by the local campaign, a substantial local presence in the 
    geographical area covered by an adjacent local campaign, or substantial 
    statewide presence.
        (i) Substantial local presence is defined as a staffed facility, 
    office or portion of a residence dedicated exclusively to that 
    organization, available to members of the public seeking its services 
    or benefits. The facility must be open at least 15 hours a week and 
    have a telephone dedicated exclusively to the organization. The office 
    may be staffed by volunteers. Substantial local presence cannot be met 
    on the basis of services provided solely through an 800 telephone 
    number or the U.S. Mails or a combination thereof.
        (ii) Substantial statewide presence is defined as providing or 
    conducting real services, benefits, assistance or program activities 
    covering 30 percent of a state's geographic boundaries or providing or 
    conducting real services, benefits, assistance or program activities 
    affecting 30 percent of a state's population. Substantial statewide 
    presence cannot be met on the basis of services provided solely through 
    an 800 telephone number or the U.S. Mails or a combination thereof. 
    [[Page 8967]] 
        (2) An organization seeking local eligibility also must meet all 
    requirements for national list eligibility in Sec. 950.202 and 
    Sec. 950.203, with the following two exceptions:

    the prior three years,
        (ii) Local charitable organizations with annual revenue less than 
    $100,000 are not required to be audited in accordance with generally 
    accepted auditing standards and, hence, are not required to submit an

    990 covering the organization's most recent fiscal year ending not more 
    than 18 months prior to the January of the campaign year to which the 
    organization is applying.
        (3) An organization seeking local eligibility based upon a 
    substantial statewide presence, need only submit a complete application 
    to the LFCC of the largest campaign in the state, as determined by OPM. 
    OPM will annually publish a list of the largest campaigns in each 
    state. The decision of the aforementioned LFCC, or OPM in the event of 
    an appeal, is binding upon all other campaigns in the state. The 
    applicant organization must forward a copy of the LFCC's decision to 
    any other campaigns in which it would like to participate as a 
    statewide organization.
        (c) Family support and youth activities certified by the commander

    during the application process and in the public notice section of 
    principal local newspaper(s). The open public meeting is the only 
    notification local organizations will receive regarding their original 
    applications. At the meeting, LFCC's must provide written explanations 
    to an organization for its denial of its application and the procedures 
    and deadline for appealing the decision. LFCC's may authorize PCFO's to 
    release eligibility determinations to applicant organizations via 
    telephone, after the open public meeting. This has no affect on the 
    deadline for LFCC's to receive local appeals. Applicants denied 
    eligibility may appeal in accordance with Sec. 950.205.
        (f) No LFCC may print the campaign brochure while there are appeals 
    of eligibility decisions from their campaign pending with the Director. 
    LFCC's are obligated to check with OPM 21 calendar days after the

    notice of a pending timely appeal.
    
    
    Sec. 950.205  Appeals.
    
        (a) Organizations who apply and are denied eligibility for 
    inclusion on the national list will be notified of the Director`s 
    decision by registered or certified mail of the U.S. Postal Service. 
    Organizations may appeal the Director's decision by submitting a 
    written request to reconsider the denial to the Director. This request 
    must be received within 10 business days from the date of receipt of 
    the Director's decision to deny eligibility and shall be limited to 
    those facts justifying the reversal of the original decision. Petitions 
    for reconsideration may not be used to supplement applications that had 
    missing or outdated documents, and any such documents submitted with 
    the petition will not be considered.
        (b) Applicants denied listing in the local brochure must first 
    appeal in writing to the LFCC to reconsider its original decision. Such 
    an appeal must be received by the LFCC within the 7 business days from 
    the date of the open public meeting announcing local eligibility 
    decisions. The LFCC must consider all timely appeals and notify the 
    appealing organization within a reasonable time period, not to exceed 
    22 business days from the date of the open public meeting. Denial of 
    the appeal by the LFCC must be sent via U.S. Postal Service certified 
    or registered mail with a return receipt (PS Form 3811). Approval of 
    local appeals may be sent via U.S. Postal Service regular first class 
    mail.
        (c) A local applicant which is unsuccessful in its appeal to the 
    LFCC may appeal to the Director. All appeals must:
        (1) Be in writing;
        (2) Be received by the Director within 10 business days of the date

    letter from the LFCC denying the appeal.
        (d) If an organization fails to file a timely application or a 
    timely appeal of an adverse eligibility determination in accordance 
    with these regulations, such application or appeal to OPM will be 
    dismissed as untimely.
        (e) Appeals to the Director may not be used to supplement original 
    applications that had missing or outdated documents. Any such 
    supplemental documents will not be considered. Such appeals shall be 
    limited to those facts justifying the reversal of the original 
    decision.
        (f) The Director's decision is final for administrative purposes.
    
    Subpart C--Federations
    
    
    Sec. 950.301  National federations eligibility.
    
        (a) The Director may establish national federations that conform to 
    the requirements of these regulations and are eligible to receive 
    designations.
        (b) By applying for inclusion in the CFC, federations consent to 
    allow the Director complete access to it and its members' CFC books and 
    records and to [[Page 8968]] respond to requests for information by the 
    Director.
        (c) An organization may apply to the Director for inclusion as a 
    national federation to participate in the CFC if the applicant has, as 
    members of its proposed federation, 15 or more charitable organizations 
    that meet the eligibility criteria of Sec. 950.202 and Sec. 950.203. 
    The initial year an organization applies for federation status, it must 
    submit the applications of all its proposed member organizations in 
    addition to the federation application. Federations must re-establish 
    eligibility each year, however, the applications of its member 
    organizations need not accompany the annual federation application once 
    an organization has obtained federation status, unless requested by the 
    Director.
        (d) After an organization has been granted federation status, it 
    may certify that its member organizations meet all eligibility criteria 
    of Sec. 950.202 and Sec. 950.203 to be included on the national list. 
    Federation status in a prior campaign is not a guarantee of federation 
    status in a subsequent campaign. Failure to meet minimum federation 
    eligibility requirements shall not be deemed to be a decertification 
    subject to a hearing on the record.
        (e) An applicant for national federation status must annually 
    certify and/or demonstrate:
        (1) That all member organizations seeking participation in the CFC 
    are qualified for inclusion on the national list. Applicants must 
    provide a complete list of those member organizations it certified.
        (2) That its financial records, practices and procedures conform to 
    generally accepted accounting principles and that it is annually 
    audited by an independent certified public accountant in accordance 
    with generally accepted auditing standards. A copy of the audit must be 
    included with the application. The audit must verify that the 
    federation is honoring designations made to each member organization. 
    The audit requirement is waived for newly created federations operating 
    for less than a year.
        (3) That it does not employ in its CFC operations the services of 
    private consultants, consulting firms, advertising agencies or similar 
    business organizations to perform its policy-making or decision-making 
    functions in the CFC. It may, however, contract with entities or 
    individuals such as banks, accountants, lawyers, and other vendors of 
    goods and/or services to assist in accomplishing its ministerial tasks.
        (f) The Director will notify a federation if it is determined that 
    the federation does not meet the eligibility requirements of 
    Sec. 950.301(e). A federation may appeal an adverse eligibility 
    decision in accordance with Sec. 950.205.
        (g) The Director may waive any eligibility criteria for federation 
    status if it is determined that such a waiver will be in the best 
    interest of the CFC.
        (h) Two organizations--American Red Cross and United Service 
    Organization--are exempt from the 15-member requirement of 
    Sec. 950.301(c).
    
    
    Sec. 950.302  Responsibilities of national federations.
    
        (a) National federations must ensure that only those member 
    organizations that comply with all eligibility requirements included in 
    these regulations are certified for participation in the CFC.
        (b) The Director may elect to review, accept or reject the 
    certifications of the eligibility of the members of the national 
    federations. If the Director requests information supporting a 
    certification of national eligibility, that information shall be 
    furnished promptly. Failure to furnish such information within 10 
    business days of the receipt of the request constitutes grounds for the 
    denial of national eligibility of that member.
        (c) The Director may elect to decertify for up to one campaign year 
    a federation which makes a false certification, subject to the 
    requirement that any federation that the Director proposes to decertify 
    shall be offered the opportunity to have a hearing on the record on the 
    proposed decertification, followed by a written decision stating the 
    grounds for the decertification. False certifications are presumed to 
    be deliberate. This presumption may be overcome by evidence presented 
    at the hearing.
        (d) The failure of a national federation to respond in a timely 
    fashion to a request by the Director for required information or 
    cooperation in an investigation or a settlement of disbursements may be 
    grounds for decertification, provided that a decision to decertify is 
    preceded by a hearing on the record and communicated in writing.
        (e) Each federation, as fiscal agent for its member organizations, 
    must ensure that Federal employee designations are honored in that each 
    member organization receives its proportionate share of receipts based 
    on the results of each individual campaign.
    
    
    Sec. 950.303   Local federations eligibility.
    
        (a) LFCC's must approve local federations that conform to the 
    requirements of these regulations.
        (b) By applying for inclusion in the CFC, federations consent to 
    allow the LFCC and Director complete access to it and its members' CFC 
    books and records and to respond to requests for information by the 
    LFCC, the Director.
        (c) An organization may apply to the LFCC for inclusion as a local 
    federation if the applicant has as members of its proposed federation, 
    15 or more charitable organizations that meet the eligibility criteria 
    of Sec. 950.202, Sec. 950.203, and Sec. 950.204. The initial year an 
    organization applies for federation status, it must submit to the LFCC 
    applications of all its proposed member organizations in addition to 
    the federation application. Federations must re-establish eligibility 
    each year, however, the applications of its member organizations need 
    not accompany the annual federation application once an organization 
    has obtained federation status.
        (d) After an organization has been granted federation status, it 
    may certify that its member organizations meet all eligibility criteria 
    of Secs. 950.202, 950.203 and 950.204 to be included on the Local List. 
    The LFCC or the Director may require any member organization of a local 
    federation to supply independent evidence of its eligibility. 
    Federation status in a prior campaign is not a guarantee of federation 
    status in a subsequent campaign. Failure to meet minimum federation 
    eligibility requirements shall not be deemed to be a decertification 
    subject to a hearing on the record.
        (e) An applicant for local federation status must certify and/or 
    demonstrate:
        (1) That all member organizations seeking participation in the CFC 
    are qualified for inclusion on the Local List and provide a complete 
    list of those member organizations it certified.
        (2) That its financial records, practices and procedures conform to 
    generally accepted accounting principles and is annually audited by an 
    independent certified public accountant in accordance with generally 
    accepted auditing standards. A copy of the annual audit must be 
    included with the application. The audit must verify that the 
    federation is honoring designations made to each member organization. 
    The audit requirement is waived for newly created federations operating 
    for less than a year.
        (3) That it does not employ, in its CFC operations, the services of 
    private [[Page 8969]] 
    consultants, consulting firms, advertising agencies or similar business 
    organizations to perform the policy-making or decision-making functions 
    in the CFC. It may, however, contract with entities or individuals such 
    as banks, accountants, lawyers, and other vendors of goods and/or 
    services to assist in accomplishing its ministerial tasks.
        (f) The LFCC will notify a federation if it is determined that the 
    federation does not meet the eligibility requirements of 
    Sec. 950.301(e). A federation may appeal an adverse eligibility 
    decision in accordance with Sec. 950.205.
        (g) The Director may waive any eligibility criteria for federation 
    status if it is determined that such a waiver will be in the best 
    interest of the CFC.
    
    
    Sec. 950.304  Responsibilities of local federations.
    
        (a) Local federations must ensure that only those member 
    organizations that comply with all eligibility requirements included in 
    these regulations are certified for participation in the CFC.
        (b) LFCC's may elect to review, accept or reject the certifications 
    of the eligibility of the members of local federations. If the LFCC 
    requests information supporting a certification of local eligibility, 
    that information shall be furnished promptly. Failure to furnish such 
    information within 10 business days of the receipt of the request 
    constitutes grounds for the denial of local eligibility.
        (c) The Director, upon recommendation by the LFCC, may elect to 
    decertify a federation which makes a false certification for up to one 
    campaign year, subject to the requirement that any federation that the 
    Director proposes to decertify shall be offered the opportunity to have 
    a hearing on the record on the proposed decertification, followed by a 
    written decision stating the grounds for the decertification. False 
    certifications are presumed to be deliberate. The presumption may be 
    overcome by evidence presented at the hearing.
        (d) The failure of a local federation to respond in a timely 
    fashion to a request by the Director or the LFCC for required 
    information or cooperation in an investigation may be grounds for 
    decertification, provided that a decision to decertify is preceded by a 
    hearing on the record and communicated in writing.
        (e) Each federation, as fiscal agent for its member organizations, 
    must ensure that Federal employee designations are honored in that each 
    member organization receives its proportionate share of receipts based 
    on the results of each individual campaign.
    
    Subpart D--Campaign Materials
    
    
    Sec. 950.401  Campaign and publicity materials.
    
        (a) The specific campaign and publicity materials, such as the 
    official brochure, will be developed locally, except as specified in 
    these regulations. All materials must be reviewed by the LFCC for 
    compliance with these regulations and will be printed and supplied by 
    the PCFO. Any disputes over local materials will be resolved by the 
    LFCC. All publicity materials must have the approval of the LFCC before 
    being used. Federations must notify the PCFO in writing of their desire 
    to participate in the development of campaign and publicity materials. 
    The PCFO must respond in a timely manner to a federation's request to 
    participate in the development of campaign and publicity materials. 
    Federations must also respond in a timely fashion in the development of 
    campaign and publicity materials.
        (b) During the CFC solicitation period, participating CFC 
    organizations may distribute bona fide educational materials describing 
    its services or programs. The organization must be granted permission 
    by the Federal agency installation head, or designee to distribute the 
    material. CFC Coordinators, Keyworkers or members of the LFCC, are not 
    authorized to grant permission for the distribution of such materials. 
    If one organization is granted permission to distribute educational 
    materials, then the Federal agency installation head must allow any 
    other requesting CFC organization to distribute educational materials.
        (c) Organizations and federations are encouraged to publicize their 
    activities outside Federal facilities and to broadcast messages aimed 
    at Federal employees in an attempt to solicit their contributions 
    through the media and other outlets.
        (d) LFCC's are further authorized to permit the distribution by 
    organizations of promotional pamphlets to Federal personnel in public 
    areas at or near Federal workplaces in connection with the CFC, 
    provided that the manner of distribution accords equal treatment to all 
    charitable organizations furnishing such pamphlet for local use, and 
    further provided that no such distribution shall utilize Federal 
    personnel on official duty or interfere with Federal government 
    activities. LFCC members and other campaign personnel are to be 
    particularly aware of the prohibition of assisting any charitable 
    organization or federated group in distributing any type of literature, 
    especially during the campaign period. Nothing in this section shall be 
    construed to require an LFCC to distribute or arrange for the 
    distribution of any material other than the Campaign Brochure and the 
    pledge card.
        (e) The Campaign Brochure and pledge card is the official CFC 
    information package and shall be made available to all potential 
    contributors. All CDC Brochures must inform employees of their right to 
    make a choice to contribute or not to contribute; to designate or not 
    to designate; and to give a confidential gift in a sealed envelope.
        (f) Campaign materials must constitute a simple and attractive 
    package that has fundraising appeal and essential working information. 
    The package should focus on the CFC without undue use of charitable 
    organization symbols and logos or other distractions that compete for 
    the donor's attention. Extraneous instructions concerning the routing 
    of forms, tallying of contributor's receipts, and similar reports, 
    which are primarily for keyworkers must be avoided.
        (g) The following applies specifically to the campaign brochure:
        (1) Contributor's Information Section will include:
        (i) A description of the CFC arrangement and explain the payroll 
    deduction privilege. It will clearly state that the Federal donor can 
    direct his or her gift to specific charitable organizations or 
    federations of his or her choice, or to the international general 
    designation option, and urge them to do so. It will further explain 
    that failure to designate a specific organization or federation will 
    result in the undesignated donation being distributed proportionately 
    to all recipient organizations in the local campaign, minus a 15 
    percent administration fee to the PCFO.
        (ii) A statement that the donor may only designate charitable 
    organizations or federations that are listed in the brochure and that 
    write-ins are prohibited.
        (iii) Instructions as to how an employee may obtain more specific 
    information about the programs and the finances of the organizations 
    participating in the campaign.
        (iv) A description of employees' rights to pursue complaints of 
    undue pressure or coercion in Federal fundraising activities. The 
    Campaign Brochure will advise civilian employees to consult with their 
    personnel offices and military personnel with their commanding officers 
    to identify the organization [[Page 8970]] handling such complaints in 
    their respective Federal agencies.
        (2) Organization Listing Section.
        (i) The listing of organizations shall be in three major divisions. 
    The first is referred to as introductory pages, the second shall be 
    labelled national list and will consist of a faithful reproduction of 
    the list of national and international organizations provided by OPM as 
    described in Sec. 950.201(b). The third division will consist of the 
    Local List. In odd-numbered campaign years the Local List shall appear 
    before the national list and after the introductory pages. In even-
    numbered campaign years the national list shall appear before the Local 
    List and after the introductory pages. The order of the listing of the 
    federated and unaffiliated organizations within the National and Local 
    Lists will be determined by a random drawing. The order of 
    organizations within each federation will be determined by the 
    federation. The order of organizations within the unaffiliated lists 
    will be alphabetical. Absent specific instructions from OPM to the 
    contrary, each participating organization and federated group listing 
    must include a description, not to exceed 25 words, of their services 
    and programs, plus a telephone number for the Federal donor to request 
    further information about the group's services, benefits, and 
    administrative expenses. Each listing will include a statement of the 
    percentage of the organization's total receipts and revenues that are 
    used for administration and fundraising. Neither the percentage of 
    administrative and fundraising expense, nor the telephone number count 
    toward the 25-word statement.
        (ii) Each national federation and charitable organization will be 
    assigned a code number by OPM. Local federations and local charitable 
    organizations will be assigned code numbers by the LFCC. At the 
    beginning of each federated group's listing will be the federation's 
    name, code number, 25-word statement, percentage of administrative and 
    fundraising expenses, and telephone number. The sections of the 
    brochure where the unaffiliated agencies are listed will begin with the 
    titles National Unaffiliated Organizations, International Unaffiliated 
    Organizations and Local Unaffiliated Organizations respectively.
        (iii) Preceding any other listing of the eligible organizations, 
    the Organization Listing Section will begin with the heading Definition 
    of a Federation followed by this definition of a federation: A 
    federation is a group of voluntary charitable human health and welfare 
    organizations established for the purpose of providing common 
    fundraising, administrative, and management services to its members. 
    Federations may be either national, representing national and/or 
    international organizations, international, representing only 
    international organizations; or local, representing local and/or 
    regional organizations. If you wish to designate all or some portion of 
    your contribution to a federation, record that federation's 
    corresponding code number in one of the boxes on your pledge card. 
    Contributions designated to a federation will be shared in accordance 
    with the federation's policy.
        (iv) In even-numbered campaign years, immediately following the 
    definition of a federation will be the heading National Federations 
    which will be followed by the list of all the national federations. 
    Following the list of national federations will be the list of all the 
    international federations. Immediately following the end of that list 
    the heading, Local Federations will begin the list of local 
    federations. In odd-numbered campaign years, the local federations will 
    immediately follow the definition of a federation. After each 
    federation will be the statement, Federation and federation member 
    listings begin on page ______.
        (v) Immediately following the list of federations will be the 
    heading, Unaffiliated Organizations. This section will inform the donor 
    on which pages the list of national, international and local 
    unaffiliated organizations begins.
        (vi) Immediately following the unaffiliated section will be the 
    heading, International General Designation Option. This option will 
    include the following explanation and the code for designating it: 
    ``IIII--All Organizations in the International Section of the national 
    list. I request that my gift be shared among all the international 
    organizations listed in the International Section of the Organization 
    Listing in the same proportion that they received designations.''
        (vii) Immediately following the International General Designation 
    Option will be the heading Undesignated Funds. Beneath this heading the 
    following explanation of the distribution of undesignated funds will 
    appear: ``Even if you choose not to designate to a specific 
    organization or federation, your contribution will still be accepted. 
    These undesignated funds will be distributed to all organizations in 
    the brochure in the same proportion that the organizations and 
    federations received designations in the CFC.''
        (viii) The international general designation option on the 
    introductory pages will be printed in the same format and font as the 
    organizations listed in the brochure. No special prominence or emphasis 
    may be placed on the federations listed.
        (h) Pledge Card. The pledge card as described in Sec. 950.402 will 
    be distributed with the campaign Brochure.
        (i) Omission of an eligible charitable organization from the 
    Brochure may require that all Brochures be reprinted and redistributed. 
    The Director or LFCC may direct that the cost of such reprinting and 
    redistribution be borne by the PCFO or charged to CFC administrative 
    expenses.
        (j) Dual listing. Listing of a national organization, as well as 
    its local affiliate organization, is permitted. However, a national 
    organization may only waive its listing in the national section of the 
    brochure in favor of its eligible local affiliate. The local affiliate 
    must include in its application the written waiver from its national 
    organization.
        (k) Multiple listing. Each national or local organization must 
    individually meet all of the eligibility criteria and submit 
    independent documentation as required in Sec. 950.202, Sec. 950.203 or 
    Sec. 950.204. Once an organization is deemed eligible, it is entitled 
    to only one listing in the CFC Brochure, regardless of the number of 
    federations to which that organization belongs.
        (l) The LFCC may omit the 25-word program description from the CFC 
    Brochure if, in the immediately preceding campaign year, contributions 
    received in the local CFC totalled less than $100,000.
    
    
    Sec. 950.402  Pledge card.
    
        (a) The Director will make available each campaign year at least 
    one model pledge card which shall be faithfully reproduced at the local 
    level. This will be the only authorized pledge card for use in that 
    year's CFC.
        (b) Campaigns may incorporate additional giving levels to the 
    Director's authorized pledge card. Campaigns may also include their 
    award recognition program. No further modifications to the pledge card 
    are permitted unless approved in advance by the Director.
        (c) An employee may not make a designation to an organization not 
    listed in the Brochure. In addition, an employee may not make a CFC 
    contribution to an organization listed in the Brochure of a campaign 
    covering a geographic location different from the campaign where the 
    employee works. Designations made to organizations not listed in the 
    Brochure are not invalid, but will be treated as undesignated funds and 
    distributed accordingly. [[Page 8971]] 
        (d) In the event the PCFO receives a pledge card that has 
    designations that add up to less than the total amount pledged, the 
    PCFO must honor the total amount pledged and treat the excess amount as 
    undesignated funds. In the event that a PCFO received a pledge card 
    that has a total amount pledged that is less than the sum of the 
    individual designations, the PCFO must honor the designations by 
    assigning a proportionate share of the total gift to each organization 
    designated. For example, if an employee indicates a total gift of $100 
    in the upper portion of the pledge card, but designates $25 each to 
    five organizations in the lower part of the pledge card, the PCFO must 
    adjust each organization's designation to $20.
    
    
    Sec. 950.403  Penalties.
    
        A PCFO's failure to comply with subpart D of these regulations may 
    result in either disqualification from future service as PCFO, 
    disqualification as a participating federation, or both penalties. 
    These penalties may only be imposed after a hearing on the record and 
    communication of the Director's decision in writing.
    
    Subpart E--Distribution of Undesignated Funds
    
    
    Sec. 950.501  Applicability.
    
        The distribution of undesignated funds described in 
    Sec. 950.401(g)(2)(vii) and Sec. 950.502 applies to all domestic area 
    campaigns. It does not apply to the DOD Overseas Campaign.
    
    
    Sec. 950.502  Distribution of undesignated funds.
    
        The PCFO shall collect from undesignated funds a 15 percent 
    administration fee for performing the services of PCFO as set forth in 
    Sec. 950.106(d). All remaining undesignated funds shall be distributed 
    to all of the organizations in the CFC Brochure in the same proportion 
    that they received designations in the campaign.
    
    
    Sec. 950.503  Review by the Director.
    
        The Director may alter an LFCC's distribution of undesignated 
    funds:
        (a) To reverse any allocation to ineligible organizations;
    
    or
    
        (b) To enforce the distribution method described in 
    Secs. 950.401(g)(2)(vii) and 950.502.
    
    Subpart F--Miscellaneous Provisions
    
    
    Sec. 950.601  Release of contributor names.
    
        (a) The pledge card, designed pursuant to Sec. 950.402, must allow 
    an employee to indicate if the employer does not wish his or her name 
    and home address forwarded to the charitable organization or 
    organizations designated. A PCFO's failure to honor an employee's wish 
    may result in the decertification of the PCFO.
        (b) The pledge card will direct an employee to provide his or her 
    complete home address on the pledge card should he or she wish his or 
    her name and home address released to organizations receiving their 
    donations.
        (c) It is the responsibility of the PCFO to forward the names and 
    addresses of employees who have indicated that they wish their names be 
    forwarded, to the recipient organization directly, if the organization 
    is unaffiliated, and to the organization's federation if the 
    organization is a member of a federation. The PCFO may not make any 
    other use of these employees' names and addresses.
        (d) Recipient organizations that receive the names and addresses of 
    employees must segregate this information from all other lists of 
    contributors. This segregated list may not be sold or in any way 
    released to anyone outside of the recipient organization. Federations 
    may not use a member organization's list for its own purposes or share 
    its member's lists among federation members. Failure to protect the 
    integrity of this information may result in penalties up to and 
    including permanent expulsion from the CFC.
        (e) Organizations must cooperate fully with OPM investigations into 
    the care and appropriate use of these lists. Should an organization 
    ignore or fail to respond to OPM's requests for cooperation or hamper 
    an investigation, the Director may propose that the organization be 
    suspended or expelled from the CFC. The Director will consider any 
    response in issuing a decision.
    
    
    Sec. 950.602  Solicitation methods.
    
        (a) Employee solicitations shall be conducted during duty hours 
    using methods that permit true voluntary giving and shall reserve to 
    the individual the option of disclosing any gift or keeping it 
    confidential. Campaign kick-offs, victory events, awards, and other 
    non-solicitation events to build support for the CFC are encouraged.
        (b) Special CFC fundraising events, such as, raffles, lotteries, 
    auctions, bake sales, carnivals, athletic events, or other activities 
    not specifically provided for in these regulations are prohibited 
    unless approved by the appropriate agency head or government official 
    consistent with agency ethics regulations.
        (c) In all approved special fundraising events the donor must have 
    the option of designating to a specific participating organization or 
    federation or be advised that the donation will be counted as an 
    undesignated contribution and distributed according to these 
    regulations.
    
    
    Sec. 950.603  Sanctions.
    
        (a) Sanctions not specifically provided for elsewhere in these 
    regulations, may be imposed on an organization, federation or PCFO for 
    violating any provisions of these regulations, other applicable 
    provisions of law, or any directive or instruction from the Director. 
    The Director will determine the appropriate sanction, up to and 
    including permanent expulsion from the CFC, based on a progressive 
    schedule which is related to the severity of the violation. In 
    determining the appropriate sanction, the Director will consider all 
    elements such as previous violations, harm to Federal employee 
    confidence in the CFC, and any other relevant factors. The Director 
    shall provide written notification to the organization, federation or 
    PCFO regarding the alleged violation and of the intent to impose a 
    sanction. Prior to implementation of sanctions under this section, the

    address in writing why the sanctions should not be imposed. This 
    submission must be received within 10 calendar days from the date of 
    receipt of the Director's notification letter.
        (b) At the Director's discretion, PCFO's and Federations may be 
    directed to suspend distribution of current and future CFC donations 
    from Federal employees to recipient organizations. Federations and 
    PCFO's shall immediately place suspended contributions in an interest 
    bearing account until directed to do otherwise.
    
    
    Sec. 950.604  Records retention.

    Subpart G--DoD Overseas Area
    
    
    Sec. 950.701  DoD overseas campaign.

    Defense (DoD) activities in the overseas areas during a 6 week period 
    in the fall. Organizations that may participate in the Overseas 
    Campaign will consist of [[Page 8972]] organizations found nationally 
    eligible by OPM.

    organizations to serve as PCFO as it deems in the best interests of the 
    overseas campaign.
        (c) Federal civilian agencies with overseas personnel may elect to

    and youth activities.

    Subpart I--Payroll Withholding
    
    
    Sec. 950.901  Payroll allotment.
    
        The policies and procedures in this section are authorized for 
    payroll withholding operations in accordance with the Office of 
    Personnel Management Pay Administration regulations in part 550 of this 
    chapter.
        (a) Applicability. Voluntary payroll allotments will be authorized 
    by all Federal departments and agencies for payment of charitable 
    contributions to local CFC organizations.
        (b) Allottees. The allotment privilege will be made available to 
    Federal personnel as follows:
        (1) Employees whose net pay regularly is sufficient to cover the 
    allotment are eligible. An employee serving under an appointment 
    limited to 1 year or less may make an allotment to a CFC when an 
    appropriate official of the employing Federal agency determines that 
    the employee will continue employment for a period to justify an 
    allotment. This includes military reservists, National Guard, and other 
    part-time and intermittent employees who are regularly employed.
        (2) Members of the Uniformed services are eligible, excluding those 
    on only short-term assignment (less than 3 months).
        (c) Authorization. (1) Allotments will be totally voluntary and 
    will be based upon contributor's individual authorization.
        (2) The CFC Pledge Card, in conformance with Sec. 950.402, is the 
    only form for authorization of the CFC payroll allotment and may be 
    printed or purchased from a central source by each PCFO. The Pledge 
    Cards and Official Brochure will be distributed to employees when 
    charitable contributions are solicited.
        (3) The original copy of each pledge card (payroll allotment 
    authorization) should be transmitted to the contributor's servicing 
    payroll office as promptly as possible, preferably by December 15. 
    However, if pledge cards are received after that date they should be 
    accepted and processed by the payroll office.
        (d) Duration. Authorization of allotments will be perpetual or in 
    the form of a term allotment. A perpetual authorization becomes 
    effective the first pay period beginning in January and will remain in 
    effect from year-to-year until cancelled by the Federal employee/donor. 
    Perpetual authorizations may only be changed during the campaign 
    solicitation period as defined by the LFCC. Term authorizations will be 
    in effect for 1 full year--26, 24, or 12 pay periods depending on the 
    allotter's pay schedule--starting with the first pay period beginning 
    in January and ending with the last pay period that begins in December. 
    Three months of employment is considered the minimum amount of time 
    that is reasonable for establishing an allotment.
        (e) Amount. (1) Allotters will make a single allotment that is 
    apportioned into equal amounts for deductions each pay period during 
    the year.
        (2) The minimum amount of the allotment will be determined by the 
    LFCC but will not be less than $1 per payday, with no restriction on 
    the size of the increment above that minimum.
        (3) No change of amount will be authorized for term allotments. 
    Changes in amounts for perpetual allotments may only occur during the 
    solicitation period, unless the donation is based on a percentage of 
    the employees pay.
        (4) No deduction will be made for any period in which the 
    allotter's net pay, after all legal and previously authorized 
    deductions, is insufficient to cover the CFC allotment. No adjustment 
    will be made in subsequent periods to make up for missed deductions.
        (f) Remittance. (1) One check will be sent by the payroll office 
    each pay period, in the gross amount of deductions on the basis of 
    current authorizations, to the Central Receipt and Accounting Point 
    (CRP) at each local CFC location for which the payroll office has 
    received allotment authorizations. The Director will provide a list of 
    the authorized CRP's to Federal payroll offices.
        (2) The check will be accompanied by a statement identifying the 
    agency, the dates of the pay period, and the total number of employee 
    deductions. There will be no listing of allotters included or of 
    allotter discontinuances.
        (g) Discontinuance. (1) Term allotments will be discontinued 
    [[Page 8973]] automatically on expiration of the 1 year withholding 
    period, or on the death, retirement, or separation of the allotter from 
    the federal service, whichever is earlier.
        (2) An allotter may revoke a perpetual or term authorization at any 
    time by requesting it in writing from the payroll office. 
    Discontinuance will be effective the first pay period beginning after 
    receipt of the written revocation in the payroll office.
        (3) A discontinued allotment will not be reinstated.
        (h) Transfer. When an allotter moves to another organizational unit 
    served by a different payroll office in the same CFC location, whether 
    in the same office or a different Department or agency, his or her 
    allotment authorization should be transferred to the new payroll 
    office.
        (i) Accounting. (1) Federal payroll offices will oversee the 
    establishment of individual allotment accounts, the deductions each pay 
    period, and the reconciliation of employee accounts in accordance with 
    agency and General Accounting Office requirements. The payroll office 
    will accept responsibility for the accuracy of remittances, as 
    supported by current allotment authorizations, and internal accounting 
    and auditing requirements.
        (2) The PCFO shall notify the federated groups, national agencies, 
    and local agencies as soon as practicable after the completion of the 
    campaign, but in no case later than February 15, of the amounts, if 
    any, designated to them and their member agencies and of the amounts of 
    the undesignated funds, if any, allocated to them.
        (3) The PCFO is responsible for the accuracy of disbursements it 
    transmits to recipients. It shall transmit at least monthly for 
    campaigns of $500,000 of more or quarterly if less than that amount, 
    minus only the approved proportionate share for administrative cost 
    reimbursement and the PCFO fee set forth in Sec. 950.106(d). It shall 
    remit the contributions to each organization or to the federated group, 
    if any, of which the organization is a member. For campaigns with gross 
    receipts in excess of $500,000, the PCFO will distribute all CFC 
    receipts beginning April 1, and monthly thereafter. For campaigns with 
    gross receipts of $500,000 or less, the PCFO will distribute all CFC 
    receipts beginning June 1, and quarterly thereafter. At the close of 
    each disbursement period, the PCFO's amount shall have a balance of 
    zero.
        (4) The PCFO may make one-time disbursements to organizations 
    receiving minimal donations from Federal employees. The LFCC must 
    determine and authorize the amount of these one-time disbursements. The 
    PCFO may deduct the proportionate amount of each organization's share 
    of the campaign's administrative costs and the average of the previous 
    3 years pledge loss from the one-time disbursement. This is the only 
    approved application of adjusting for pledge loss.
        (5) Federated and national charitable organizations, or their 
    designated agents, will accept responsibility for:
        (i) The accuracy of distribution amount the charitable 
    organizations of remittances from the PCFO; and
        (ii) Arrangements for an independent audit conducted by a certified 
    public accountant agreed upon by the participating charitable 
    organizations.
