the Selective Service Internet web site, telephonic registration, 
registration on approved Government forms, including the Selective

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Rudy Sanchez, Office of the General 
Counsel, Selective Service System, 1515 Wilson Boulevard, Arlington, VA 
22209-2425. Telephone (703) 605-4071.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Military Selective Service Act (Act) 
requires that certain males register with the Selective Service System. 
50 U.S.C. App. 451 et seq. The time, place and manner of registration 
is to be determined by proclamation of the President and by rules and 
regulations. 50 U.S.C. App. 453(a). The President is permitted to 
delegate the authority to issue rules and regulations under the Act. 50 
U.S.C. App. 460(c). On October 12, 1971, E.O. 11623 was signed 
delegating the authority to issue rules and regulations under the 
Military Selective Service Act to the Director of the Selective Service 
System. Proclamation 4771 of July 2, 1980, provides for individuals to 
comply with the registration requirement of the Military Selective 
Service Act by completing a Registration Card at a classified Post 
Office.
    This Proclamation was amended by Proclamation 7275, February 22, 
2000 (65 FR 9199, February 24, 2000), to provide additional means to 
comply with the registration requirement. The rules are being amended 
to reflect additional registration methods prescribed by the Director 
of Selective Service as authorized by Proclamation 7275. The technical 
amendments to the rules on registration and the duty to register will 
inform the public about the various means to comply with the 
registration requirement.
    The SSS considers this rule (32 CFR Part 1615) to be a procedural 
rule which is exempt from the notice and comment under 5 U.S.C. 
533(b)(3)(A). This rule is not a significant rule for the purpose of 
Executive Order 12866 and has not been reviewed by the Office of 
Management and Budget. As required by the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 
SSS certifies that these regulatory amendments will not have a 
significant impact on small business entities.
