Sec. 950.102  Scope of the Combined Federal Campaign.

    (a) The CFC is the only authorized solicitation of employees in the 
Federal workplace on behalf of charitable organizations. A campaign may

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, outside the 
CFC, in support of victims in 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 
permissions will be granted for such solicitations during the period 
September 1 through December 15, except at the discretion of the 
Director upon a showing of extraordinary circumstances.
    (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 
and any other applicable laws 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 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.
