OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT


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

AGENCY: Office of Personnel Management (OPM).

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is implementing a 
Combined Federal Campaign (CFC) pilot program for up to 16 Local 
Federal Coordinating Committees (LFCC) to allow them to enter into two-
year agreements with non-profit organizations to serve as the Principal 
Combined Fund Organization (PCFO). These agreements would be subject to 
renewal after the first year, following a review of performance as 
defined by the CFC regulations at 5 CFR Part 950, subparts A, D through 
F, and I. The primary objective of the pilot program is to assess the 
potential impact of the multi-year agreements in advance of a possible 
proposal for a permanent amendment to the CFC regulations and 
nationwide implementation with particular attention on: (a) Potential 
for costs savings; (b) potential to promote competition; (c) serve as 
incentive for mergers; and (d) potential need for new regulatory 
safeguards.

DATES: The pilot program will be effective for the selection of the 
2005 PCFO, which must occur no later than March 15, 2005. Selected 
LFCCs that choose to participate will be required to conduct a 
performance review and decide whether or not to renew the agreement 
with the PCFO for the second year no later than January 16, 2006. If 
the agreement is not renewed, then the participating LFCC will need to 
solicit a new PCFO and make a selection no later than March 15, 2006.
