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.
