Comments Submitted to OPM Becoming Public on Eve of Congressional Hearing

6/24/2013

0 Comments

 
OPM’s proposal to charge charities an upfront, non-refundable application fee appears to have drawn more comments – and more opposition – than any other suggested change to the CFC. The elimination of LFCCs, PCFOs, and the printed directory also appear to have generated a great deal of concern.
OPM began to release some of the received comments this weekend, a few days ahead of a scheduled hearing on the proposed regulations being convened by a subcommittee of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. It now appears that more than 1,000 comments were submitted during the two month period that closed June 7, 2013.

The Workplace Giving Alliance began a week ago to analyze submitted comments. By Friday, we had reviewed 35 – from PCFOs, LFCC leaders, federations, charities, and others. We released our report of this initial work earlier today:

Comments Submitted Regarding Proposed CFC Regulations: Initial Review

We have created a table breaking down the 35 comments we reviewed, showing the number of writers that commented on each of OPM’s key 13 topics.

​We are reviewing the comments now being released by OPM and will update our report soon.

​​UPDATE, 5:30 p.m., June 24
We have just learned that the congressional hearings have been postponed until July. Stay tuned.
