2006 Combined Federal Campaign Guidelines
Schedule and Responsibilities
Each fall, the Postal Service™ joins other federal agencies in the Combined Federal Campaign (CFC) drive. In accordance with Office of Personnel Management (OPM)
regulations, the campaign runs for a 6-week period between September 1 and December 15, as established by
the Local Federal Coordinating Committee.
Vice presidents of area operations have campaign responsibility. Area offices must ensure that campaign information is disseminated to all offices under their jurisdiction.
