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) 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.
