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.
