OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT

5 CFR Part 950

RIN 3206-AG50


Solicitation of Federal Civilian and Uniformed Service Personnel 
for Contributions to Private Voluntary Organizations

AGENCY: Office of Personnel Management.

ACTION: Final rule; correction.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This document clarifies the final regulations governing the 
Combined Federal Campaign (CFC) which were published on November 24, 
1995, (60 FR 57889). Included in those regulations are the eligibility 
criteria and public accountability standards for participating 
charitable organizations.

EFFECTIVE DATE: November 24, 1995.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Jeffrey C. Lee, 202-606-2564.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The final regulations that are the subject of this correction, 
superseded 5 CFR 950 on the effective date and affect organizations 
applying for participation in the Combined Federal Campaign.

Need for Correction

    As published, the final regulations regarding the public 
accountability standard for public and government support may mislead 
an otherwise eligible organization which actually has appropriate 
funding sources from applying and/or participating in the CFC. The 
correcting language sets forth the proper accountability process, and 
allows for the correct computation of funding sources to determine if 
the organization meets CFC standards. In addition, Sec. 950.501(b) 
refers to a section which was eliminated from the proposed regulations 
and combined with Sec. 950.501 of the final regulations. Applicant 
charitable organizations will benefit from these clarifications.

List of Subjects in 5 CFR Part 950

    Administrative practice and procedures, Charitable contributions, 
Government employee, Military personnel, Nonprofit organizations, 
Reporting and recordkeeping requirements.

PART 950--SOLICITATION OF FEDERAL CIVILIAN AND UNIFORMED SERVICE

FR 6685 (February 15, 1983), Pub. L. 100-202, and Pub. L. 102-393 (5 
U.S.C. 1101 Note).
