At a meeting yesterday of the National Combined Federal Campaign Committee, CFC Director Keith Willingham explained a bit more how the government will handle the comments now being received from the public regarding the proposed new CFC regulations.

The federations served by Maguire/Maguire, Inc. have released their reaction to the government’s proposed CFC regulations. Below are some of their key points.
Federal Times today reported that OPM “plans to charge charities a first-ever application fee starting in 2015 to join the Combined Federal Campaign….” The Federal Times article [no longer available online] notes that the agency’s FY 14 Budget Justification includes language that indicates OPM’s intent. OPM had previously stated its wish to institute such a fee in draft regulations released in early April 2013. The Budget Justification is a second formal document, this time intended for Congress.
The proposed new CFC regulations in their original form are 55 pages of legal and administrative language. You can read them at http://federalregister.gov/a/2013-08017.
Because some may find the original document a bit forbidding, we have created the following summary. We touch on only major changes and do not address every detail, nor do we try to explain how the changes will be implemented. We plan to discuss issues raised by the regs extensively in this blog. At the end of last week, OPM released the proposed rules for the reform of the Combined Federal Campaign. For the next two months, the government invites our comment.
