Is an LFCC required to advertise for the local application period or keep any type of data base and mail applications to charities annually?
A. YES. Per guidance provided by OPM in OPM Memorandum 89-3, LFCC’s must ensure that local agency’s are given adequate notice of the application period and process. LFCC’s can provide such notice through various public service announcements which include but are not limited to local newspapers, radio and television stations, etc. The LFCC should also ensure the PCFO maintains a mailing list of local agencies that have requested information.
