Local Federal Coordinating Committee (LFCC) are the group of Federal officials designated by the Director of the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) to conduct the CFC the identified community.

§950.104 Local Federal Coordinating Committee responsibilities.

(a) All members of the LFCC should develop an understanding of campaign regulations and procedures. The LFCC is the central point of information regarding the CFC among Federal employees.
(b) The responsibilities of the LFCC include, but are not limited to, the following:
(1) Maintaining minutes of LFCC meetings and responding promptly to any request for information from the Director.
(2) Naming a campaign chairperson and notifying the Director when the chairperson changes.
(3) Determining the eligibility of local organizations that apply to participate in the local campaign. This is the exclusive responsibility of the LFCC and may not be delegated to the PCFO.
(4) Ensuring that the list of charities determined by the Director to be nationally eligible to participate in all local campaigns is reproduced in the local brochure in accordance with OPM instructions.
(5) Ensuring that the local brochure and pledge card are produced in accordance with these regulations and instructions from the Director.
(6) Encouraging local Federal agencies to appoint loaned executives to assist in the campaign. Federal agency heads are encouraged to grant administrative leave to all loaned executives appointed to assist in the conduct of the CFC. Federal loaned executives are prohibited from working on non-CFC fundraising activities during duty hours.
(7) Establishing a network of employee keyworkers and volunteers and participating in interagency briefing sessions and kick off meetings.
(8) Ensuring that, to the extent reasonably possible, every employee is given the opportunity to participate in the CFC, and ensuring employee designations are honored.
(9) Ensuring that the PCFO includes in keyworker training instructions to encourage employees to designate the charitable organizations they wish to receive their donations and specific information on how general designation monies are distributed.
(10) Ensuring that contributions are distributed in accordance with the method described in these regulations.
(11) Ensuring that no employee is coerced in any way to participate in the campaign.
(12) Bringing allegations of coercion to the attention of the Director and the employee's agency and providing a mechanism to review employee complaints of undue pressure and coercion in Federal fundraising. Federal agencies shall provide procedures and assign responsibility for the investigation of such complaints. Personnel offices shall be responsible for informing employees of the proper channels for pursuing such complaints.
(13) Notifying the Director of any significant problems or controversies concerning the campaign that the LFCC cannot resolve by applying these regulations. The LFCC must abide by the Director's decisions on all matters concerning the campaign.
(14) Ensuring the PCFO does not use the services of consulting firms, advertising firms or similar business organizations to perform the policy making or decision making functions in the CFC. A PCFO may, however, contract with entities or individuals such as banks, accountants, lawyers, and other vendors of goods and/or services to assist in accomplishing its administrative tasks.
(15) Ensuring that the activities and functions required of the PCFO are kept separate from any non-CFC operations of the organization. The LFCC must verify that the PCFO keeps and maintains CFC financial records and interest bearing bank accounts separate from the PCFO's non-CFC financial records and bank accounts.
(16) Monitoring the work of the PCFO, and inspecting closely the annual audit required of the PCFO pursuant to §950.105(d)(9) for compliance with these regulations.
(17) Authorizing to the PCFO reimbursement of only those campaign expenses that are legitimate CFC costs and are adequately documented. Total reimbursable expenses may not exceed the approved campaign budget by more than 10 percent.
(c) The LFCC must annually solicit applications for the PCFO via public notice no later than February 1 upon the renewal campaign year. The PCFO application period must be open a minimum of 14 calendar days. Costs incurred in providing the public notice should be added to the PCFO budget for the current campaign year as an administrative cost. The LFCC shall select a PCFO to act as its fiscal agent and campaign coordinator on the basis of presentations made to the local committee as described in §950.105. The LFCC shall consider the efficiency and effectiveness of the campaign as the primary factors in selecting a PCFO.
