After a reasonable attempt is made to register the individual, and he neither registers nor provides documented evidence supporting exemption or where there is insufficient information to add the alleged violator to the automated tracking system, the incoming communication may be forwarded to the Department of Justice for investigation and, if applicable, return to Selective Service with sufficient information for adding to the automated tracking system or comparison with the registrant file.

After processing the information pertaining to suspected non-registrants will be forwarded to the Department of Justice for investigation and, if applicable, prosecution.

    Where Selective Service determines that information as originally submitted Start Printed Page 57220appears to have contained a discrepancy, the names, dates of birth, Social Security Account Numbers, and home addresses of individuals may be returned to the original sources together with information concerning the discrepancy. Information concerning the discrepancy may include correspondence from the individual concerned.

    POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR STORING, RETRIEVING, ACCESSING RETAINING, AND DISPOSING OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM:

    STORAGE:

    Upon receipt of unsolicited communications regarding alleged violators of the Military Selective Service Act who are not listed in the SSS registrant file, a computer record will be created. This is an automated tracking system which contains the nature of the alleged violator, his Social Security Account Number if available, the date sent to the Department of Justice, the final disposition when received and the case control number. The document is microfilmed, and can be retrieved by a Document Locator Number recorded in the computer record. The original document is destroyed.

    When computer matches between Selective Service and other files produce lists of possible non-registrants, the computer file will be produced and maintained. As the list is processed the paper file will be produced from the microfilm records, containing correspondence between possible non-registrants and Selective Service. A computerized tracking file of cases will be maintained.

    RETRIEVABILITY:

    Indexed by Selective Service Number, Social Security Account Number, name and case number (if any).

    SAFEGUARDS:

    a. Records are available to authorized Selective Service personnel only.

    b. Paper records are converted to microfilm. A microfilm copy is kept in a locked file cabinet accessible only to authorized personnel. The microfilm original is transferred to a Federal Records Center. The paper records are destroyed after microfilming.

    c. Building is secured and patrolled after normal business hours. Access is controlled by an electronic security access system.

    d. Computer files will be maintained at the Joint Computer Center at Great Lakes, Illinois.

    (1) Security guards for the building will allow access to authorized personnel only.

    (2) Computer room will be secured with cipher locks.

    (3) Terminal access to the computer system will be restricted to those with valid user ID and password.

    (4) A Customer Information Control system will require additional password for interactive access to data base information.

    (5) A software security package will protect access to data in the system.

    (6) Access to the violator section of the data base will not be possible without specific authorization by the Data Base Administrator.

    RETENTION AND DISPOSAL:

    Upon receipt of unsolicited information regarding an alleged violation of the Military Selective Service Act, SSS will check the registrant file for the individual's name. If the individual has registered, the incoming correspondence will be destroyed and no record will be made or retained by SSS. If the individual is not listed in the registrant file, the individual will be entered into the automated tracking system, and the incoming correspondence will be used to attempt to correspond with the alleged violator, giving him an opportunity to register. After a reasonable attempt is made to register the individual, and he neither registers nor provides documented evidence supporting exemption, the communication may be sent to the Department of Justice. SSS will not retain copies of the incoming correspondence or any record identifying the source of the unsolicited information regarding an alleged violation. When the computer matches identify persons as possible non-registrants, processing may result in the production of a paper file of correspondence and/or other information. SSS will not retain paper copies of this information when cases are referred to the Department of Justice, but will retain microfilm copies. Once the Department of Justice has disposed of the case, as it deems appropriate, the Department of Justice will notify SSS, and the individual's name and related data will be deleted from the tracking system list of possible non-registrants.

    All paper forms and correspondence will be destroyed by maceration, shredding or burning after the appropriate information has been recorded. Computer printouts distributed to SSS National Headquarters are destroyed when they have served their temporary purpose by maceration, shredding or burning.
