OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT
5 CFR Part 300
RIN 3206-AI72
Statutory Bar to Appointment of Persons Who Fail To Register
Under Selective Service Law; Technical Amendment
AGENCY: Office of Personnel Management.
ACTION: Final regulations.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is amending the
regulations that require compliance with Selective Service registration
requirements as a condition of employment in executive agencies. The
amendment updates the telephone number for the Selective Service System
which is cited in the regulations.
EFFECTIVE DATE: May 27, 1999.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Sylvia Cole or Robert Grady on (202)
606-0830, TDD (202) 606-0023, or FAX (202) 606-0390.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 3328 of title 5, United States Code,
provides that men born in 1960 or later who are required to, but did
not register under section 3 of the Military Service Act (50 U.S.C.
App. 453), generally are ineligible for appointment to Federal
executive agencies. OPM's regulations carrying out the statutory
requirement are found in title 5, Code of Federal Regulations, part
300. These regulations, issued in 1987, cite a toll-free telephone
number for the Selective Service System that agencies can call to check
if an individual has registered. This telephone number has changed and
we are issuing a technical amendment to reflect the correct number.
Regulatory Flexibility Act
I certify that these regulations will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities (including
small businesses, small organizational units, and small governmental
jurisdictions) because the regulations only affect Federal job
applicants and employees.
Waiver of Notice of Proposed Rulemaking and 30-Day Delay of
Effective Date
Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(B) and (d)(3), I find that good
cause exists for waiving the general notice of proposed rulemaking and
for making the amendment effective in less than 30 days. The amendment
merely replaces an incorrect telephone number with the correct number.
