The regulations define the Combined Federal Campaign (CFC) program and establish a structure to carry it out. Definitions, a conflict of interest policy and prohibition on discrimination are found in Subpart A. It notes that the CFC is "the only authorized solicitation of employees in the Federal workplace on behalf of charitable organizations." It runs a six-week campaign between September 1 and December 15 each year, with eligible organizations seeking to have donations designated for them. CFC is part of the Office of Personnel Management.. The regulations authorize the CFC director to take all necessary steps to achieve campaign objectives and to hear all disputes. The director's decisions are final for administrative purposes. The director establishes Local Federal Coordinating Committees comprised of federal officials that is responsible for overseeing the local campaign, which is carried out by a Principal Combined Fund Organization, made up of charities, federations or a combination of the two. Federal employees designate charities from national or local lists to receive their contributions. Eligibility requirements for appearing on the list include a requirement that the group be a 501(c)(3) charity, conduct lobbying activities as defined under the expenditure test in Section 501(h) of the tax code and meet public accountability standards. Theses standards do not include any certification regarding checking terrorist watch lists. They do include certifications on fiscal accountability, such as an audit requirement, and limits on the proportion of administrative costs in a group's budget and a commitment that contributions will be used for the purposes described in the promotional information. The director may impose sanctions, up to permanent expulsion, on organizations for "violating any provisions, other applicable provisions of law, or any directive instruction from the director." In such a case the organization has ten days to submit a written statement on why the sanction should not be imposed. There is no further administrative appeal.
