Abstract: In accordance with E.O. 12353, Public Law 102-393, and 5 CFR Part 950, required information is collected from 501(c)(3) non-profit charitable organizations that apply on an annual basis for participation in the Combined Federal Campaign. The information gathered is reviewed to determine eligibility in the program. OPM has made non-substantive changes to the CFC Applications: CFC National Independent Application (1647-A), CFC National Federation Application (1647-B), CFC Local Independent Application (1647-C), CFC Local Federation Application (1647-D), and CFC FSYA Application (1647-E). The revisions include date changes (e.g. 2012 to 2013), revisions to the instructions based on guidance issued to charities, and the removal of the requirement for an original signature, permitting the program to receive all applications electronically. The changes do not include the addition or removal of any questions, and the burden remains unchanged. The revised forms are included in the Supplementary Document section.
