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 may also include representatives of 
employee unions and other employee groups. Rotation of the LFCC Chair 
position among the LFCC members is encouraged. For continuity, each LFCC 
should appoint a Vice Chair who would be expected to serve at the 
conclusion of the Chair's term.
    (c) The agency head at 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.
    (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, as well as retired Federal 
employees, may make single contributions to the CFC through check or 
money order. These non-Federal employees may not be solicited, but are 
to be provided the opportunity to participate in the CFC.
    (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.
