Records Retention Policy for all CFC Participants
The governing CFC regulation (5 Code of Federal Regulations, Part 950), paragraph 950.604 directs that "Federations, PCFO's and other participants in the CFC shall retain documents pertinent to the campaign for at least three campaign years. Documents requested by OPM must be made available within 10 business days of the request." All CFCs across the country have been instructed to remind participants about records retention. Typically, the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) may ask for federation and/or agency documents when a local CFC is being audited. However, OPM may also ask for records at other times, as required. OPM interprets the records retention requirement to mean the "current year plus three full campaign years." Thus, federations must maintain their member CFC applications for the current year plus three. Additionally, federations and unaffiliated agencies must keep CFC records such as applications, reports and letters on file for the same specified period. For example, for 2010 retain the following records: Current year (2010) plus complete records for campaign years 2009, 2008 and 2007.
