Social Security Number Fraud 

Prevention Act of 2017 Implementation 

AGENCY: United States Selective Service 

System. 

ACTION: Direct Final Rule; request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: SSS is adding a section to its 

Privacy Act regulations to implement 

restrictions on the use of Social Security 

numbers in documents mailed by SSS. 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with RULES1
78640 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 220 / Thursday, November 16, 2023 / Rules and Regulations 

These restrictions are required by the 

Social Security Number Fraud 

Prevention Act of 2017. The rule is 

intended to help reduce the potential 

risk of identity theft from fraudulent or 

other unauthorized acquisition of Social 

Security numbers from any SSS 

mailings. 

DATES: The rule is effective November 

13, 2023. Comments, if any, are 

requested by December 13, 2023. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments 

identified by docket number and/or 

Regulatory Information Number (RIN) 

number and title by email to 

federalregisterliaison@sss.gov, or by 

mail to: Selective Service System, 

Federal Register Liaison, 1515 Wilson 

Boulevard, Suite 500, Arlington, VA 

22209. 

Instructions: All submissions received 

must include the Agency’s name and 

docket number or RIN for this Federal 

Register document. The general policy 

for comments and other submissions 

from members of the public is to make 

these submissions available for public 

viewing on the internet at https://

www.regulations.gov as they are 

received without change, including any 

personal identifiers or contact 

information. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. 

Kelly Cramer, Selective Service System, 

Office of the General Counsel, 703–605– 

4069, kcramer@sss.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Social 

Security Number Fraud Prevention Act 

of 2017, Public Law 115–59, 131 Stat. 

1152 (Sept. 15, 2017), codified at 42 

U.S.C. 405 note, restricts Federal 

agencies from including Social Security 

numbers (SSNs) of individuals on 

documents sent by mail unless the head 

of the agency determines that including 

the SSN on the mailing is necessary. 

The Act requires agency heads to issue 

regulations within five years of the Act, 

specifying the circumstances under 

which including an SSN on a document 

sent by mail is necessary. The Act 

requires that the regulations include 

instructions for the partial redaction of 

SSNs where feasible and requires that 

SSNs not be visible on the outside of 

any package sent by mail. 

To implement these requirements, 

SSS is amending its existing Privacy Act 

regulations, 32 CFR part 1665, adding a 

new § 1665.9 to accommodate the rule. 

The rule prohibits including an 

individual’s SSN on any document that 

SSS sends by mail unless it is necessary, 

as determined by the Director of 

Selective Service (or other Agency 

official whom the Director of Selective 

Service may designate). If so, the rule 

requires that the SSN be truncated to 

display no more than the last four digits 

or, if such truncation is not feasible, the 

document may include additional SSN 

digits or the full SSN, as needed, but 

only under certain circumstances, i.e.: if 

required by law (e.g., statute, court 

order, or other legal mandate); to 

identify a specific individual where no 

adequate substitute is available; or to 

fulfill some other compelling SSS 

business need. In all cases, the rule 

prohibits any SSN, truncated or not, 

from being visible on the outside of any 

SSS mailing. 

Consistent with the language of the 

Act, and with the legislative intent and 

examples discussed in the House report 

(H.R. Rep. No. 115–150, pt. 1) 

accompanying the Act, the rule is 

limited to printed documents or 

correspondence mailed by SSS, 

including printed documents or 

correspondence mailed by a contractor 

acting on SSS’s behalf. The rule does 

not apply to emails or other documents, 

correspondence, or communications 

transmitted by electronic means (e.g., 

via web portals). The rule is also not 

intended to apply to mailings, if any, by 

candidates for SSS board and other 

volunteer positions (e.g., State Resource 

Volunteers). 

Administrative Procedure Act 

The Agency finds good cause to 

publish this as a Direct Final Rule 

because the notice and public procedure 

thereon are impracticable, unnecessary, 

or contrary to the public interest 

because this rule expands protections to 

the public. The Agency is exempt from 

the prior public notice and comment 

requirements of the Administrative 

Procedure Act in accordance with 5 

U.S.C. 553(b)(B). There is also no need 

to delay the effective date of the rule by 

30 days, as normally required for 

substantive rules. See 5 U.S.C. 553(d). 

Instead, there is good cause to make the 

rule effective immediately, as it is 

merely procedural and reflects a 

statutory requirement that is already in 

effect (i.e., documents mailed by the 

Agency may not include an SSN unless 

the Agency head determines it is 

necessary). Nonetheless, SSS will accept 

comments, if any, on the rule from 

interested parties, as provided in the 

ADDRESSES section of this document. 

SSS will consider such comments, if 

any, and may modify the rule on the 

basis of such comments, or as the 

Agency may otherwise deem necessary 

or appropriate. 

Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 

Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 

direct agencies to assess the costs and 

benefits of available regulatory 

alternatives and, when regulation is 

necessary, to select regulatory 

approaches that maximize net benefits 

(including potential economic, 

environmental, public health and safety 

effects, and other advantages; 

distributive impacts; and equity). 

Executive Order 13563 (Improving 

Regulation and Regulatory Review) 

emphasizes the importance of 

quantifying both costs and benefits, 

reducing costs, harmonizing rules, and 

promoting flexibility. This rule is not a 

significant regulatory action subject to 

review by the Office of Management and 

Budget’s (OMB) Office of Information 

and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) under 

Executive Order 12866, section 6(a). 

Executive Order 13132 

Executive Order 13132 (Federalism) 

prohibits an agency from publishing any 

rule that has federalism implications if 

the rule imposes substantial direct 

compliance costs on state and local 

governments and is not required by 

statute, or the rule preempts state law, 

unless the agency meets the 

consultation and funding requirements 

of section 6 of the Executive Order. This 

final rule does not have any federalism 

implications, as described above. 

Regulatory Flexibility Act 

SSS hereby certifies that this final 

rule will not have a significant 

economic impact on a substantial 

number of small entities as defined in 

the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 

601–612). The factual basis for this 

certification is that the rule governs only 

the circumstances under which SSS 

includes SSNs in documents mailed by 

SSS. The rule does not apply to 

mailings by small entities, other than 

any contractors who may be engaged to 

send mailings on SSS’s behalf. Even in 

those cases, the economic impact would 

fall on SSS, not on the contractor, to 

determine to what extent, if any, a 

mailing needs to include an SSN in 

whole or part, and to pay mailing costs. 

In any event, SSS does not expect the 

volume of such mailings, if any, to be 

significant. Accordingly, pursuant to 5 

U.S.C. 605(b), the initial and final 

regulatory flexibility analysis 

requirements of 5 U.S.C. 603 and 604 do 

not apply. 

Unfunded Mandates 

The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act 

of 1995 requires that agencies prepare a 

written statement analyzing and 

estimating anticipated costs and benefits 

before issuing any rule that may result 

in the expenditure by state, local, and 

Tribal Governments, in the aggregate, or 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with RULES1
Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 220 / Thursday, November 16, 2023 / Rules and Regulations 78641 

by the private sector, of $100 million or 

more (adjusted annually for inflation) in 

any one year. See 2 U.S.C. 1532. The 

Act further requires that the agency 

publish a summary of such a statement 

with the agency’s proposed and final 

rules. No statement or summary is 

required, since the rule will not result 

in the above-stated expenditure by state, 

local, and Tribal Governments, or by the 

private sector. 

Section 1 of Executive Order 12785 

requires the agency to submit a 

description of the extent of its prior 

consultation with representatives of 

affected state, local, and tribal 

governments, together with the agency’s 

position, to OMB to support the need for 

any regulation that is not required by 

statute, if the direct compliance costs 

incurred by such governments will not 

be funded by the Federal Government 

(i.e., an unfunded mandate). The 

Executive order does not apply, since 

the rule is required by statute and, in 

any event, imposes no mandate or 

compliance obligations, unfunded or 

otherwise, on any state, local, or Tribal 

Government. 

Congressional Review Act 

A major rule cannot take effect until 

60 days after it is published in the 

Federal Register. This rule is not a 

major rule under 5 U.S.C. 801. 

Paperwork Reduction Act 

This rule contains no information 

collection, recordkeeping, or disclosure 

provisions that would constitute 

information collection activities subject 

to the OMB clearance requirements of 

the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

(44 U.S.C. 3501–3521).

the re-entry of a space vehicle from the 

Starship Super Heavy launch by Space 

Exploration Technologies Corporation 

(Space X). The temporary safety zone is 

located within the Coast Guard District 

Fourteen area of responsibility, 

approximately 129 nautical miles 

offshore of Oahu, Hawaii. The purpose 

of this rule is to ensure the safety of 

vessels, mariners, and the navigable 

waters in the safety zones before, 

during, and after the scheduled event. 

This action is necessary to provide for 

the safety of vessels and waterway users 

from the potential hazards created by 

reentry vehicle splashdowns and 

recovery operations in our exclusive 

economic zone. It is also necessary to 

provide for the safe recovery of reentry 

vehicles, and any personnel involved in 

reentry services, after the splashdown. 

This rule implements a special activities 

provision of the William M. (Mac) 

Thornberry National Defense 

Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021. 

Foreign-flagged vessels are encouraged 

to remain outside the safety zones. This 

rule prohibits U.S. flagged vessels from 

being in the safety zones unless 

authorized by the Commander of the 

Fourteenth Coast Guard District or a 

designated representative. 

DATES: This rule is effective from 12:01
