Revision of Information Collection: Combined Federal Campaign Applications

In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-13, May 22, 1995), this notice announces that the Office of Personnel Management intends to submit to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) a request for clearance to revise an information collection. Combined Federal Campaign Applications, OMB Control No. 3206-0131, which include OPM Forms 1647-A, -B, and -E, are used to review the eligibility of national, international, and local charitable organizations and Department of Defense morale, welfare, and recreation (MWR)/Family Support and Youth Activities/Programs (FSYA/FSYP) organizations that wish to participate in the Combined Federal Campaign. The proposed revisions reflect changes in eligibility guidance from the Office of Personnel Management. On March 10, 2016, we published a 60-day notice and request for comments. We received two comments recommending the addition of a ``thank you statement'' field that would facilitate immediate acknowledgement of electronic pledges. This recommended revision is included below. We estimate 20,500 responses to this information collection annually. Each form takes approximately three hours to complete. The annual estimated burden is 40,500 hours.
