PART 950_SOLICITATION OF FEDERAL CIVILIAN AND UNIFORMED SERVICE PERSONNEL FOR 
 
                      Subpart A_General Provisions
 
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 time period during which 
CFC solicitation may take place. 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, or by electronic means, including credit cards, as 
approved by the Director. Contractor personnel, credit union employees 
and other persons present on Federal premises, as well as retired 
Federal employees, may make single contributions to the CFC through 
checks, money orders, or cash, or by electronic means, including credit 
cards, as approved by the Director. These non-Federal personnel may not 
be solicited, but donations offered by such persons must be accepted by 
the local campaigns.
    (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. This restriction may be discontinued upon 
implementation of appropriate electronic technology that allows removal 
of the need for geographic restrictions on giving as determined by the 
Director. Upon a showing of extraordinary circumstances, as determined 
in the sole discretion of the Director, Federal employees may contribute 
in support of victims in cases of emergencies and disasters defined in 
Sec.  950.102(a) outside the geographic boundaries of their 
participating CFC. Such contributions can be check, money order, or cash 
or by electronic means, including credit cards, as approved by the 
Director, but shall not be made through payroll deduction.
