processing of registrants.

DATES: Comment Date: Written comments received on or before March 1, 
1995 will be considered.

EFFECTIVE DATE: Subject to the comments received, the amendment is 
proposed to become effective upon publication in the Federal Register 
of a final rule.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Discussion of Proposed Regulation

    Part 1636--Classification of Conscientious Objectors. Paragraph (b) 
of sec. 1636.8 reads: ``The registrant's stated convictions should be a 
matter of conscience which would give him no rest or peace should he 
participate in war.'' The proposed rule would delete the words ``which 
would give him no rest or peace should he participate in war.'' This 
action is proposed because of allegations that paragraph (b) is 
unclear.

B. Matters of Rule Making Procedures

    This amendment to Selective Service Regulations is published 
pursuant to section 13(b) of the Military Selective Service Act (50 
App. U.S.C. 463(b)) and Executive Order 11623. These Regulations 
implement the Military Selective Service Act (50 App. U.S.C. 451 et 
seq.)
    Interested persons are invited to submit written comments on the 
proposed rule. All written comments received in response to this notice 
of proposed rulemaking will be available for public inspection in the 
Office of the General Counsel from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through 
Friday, except legal holidays.
    As required by Executive Order 12291, I have determined that this 
proposed rule is not a ``Major'' rule and therefore does not require a 
Regulatory Impact Analysis.
    Pursuant to the requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility Act 
(Pub. L. 96-354, 94 Stat. 1164, 5 U.S.C. 601-612), I have determined 
that this regulation does not have a significant economic impact on a 
substantial number of small entities.
    The Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. chapter 35) does not apply 
because this rule does not contain an information collection 
requirement that requires the approval of the Office of Management and 
Budget.
