Re: Request for Administrative Declaratory Order per Title 5 USC § 554(e).
I have been doing a little research into the laws, regulations, and authority surrounding the Selective Service System and am a little confused by why he was sent this notice. For the record, should your office determine that my son is required to register, then he will do so. I need for you to issue an administrative declaratory order per Title 5 USC § 554(e).
(June 24, 1948, ch 625, Title I, § 3, 62 Stat. 605; June 19, 1951, ch 144, Title I, § 1(c), 65 Stat. 76; Sept. 28, 1971, P. L. 92-129, Title I, § 101(a)(2), 85 Stat. 348; Dec. 1, 1981, P. L. 97-86, Title XI, § 916(a), 95 Stat. 1129.) (emphasis added)
Also, "It is a well established principle of law that all federal legislation applies only within the territorial jurisdiction of the United States unless contrary intent appears." Foley Brothers v. Filardo, 336 U.S. 281 (1948). The Federal Register Act requires that statutes which confer general rule making ability to the public at large and into the states of the Union must have corresponding entries in the Parallel Table of Authorities. Therefore, I took the time to check the Parallel Table of Authorities and find that the Military Selective Service Act of June 24, 1948, Ch 625, 62 Stat. 604 (page 605 for § 3), is not listed as having rule making ability within the states of the Union:
"1-109. Persons who would have been required to present themselves for registration pursuant to Sections 1-101 to 1-108 but for an exemption pursuant to Section 3 or 6(a) of the Military Selective Service Act, as amended [this section or 50 USCS Appx § 456(a)], or but for some condition beyond their control such as hospitalization or incarceration, shall present themselves for registration within 30 days after the cause for their exempt status ceases to exist or within 30 days after the termination of the condition which was beyond their control.
2. My son is not a "citizen of the United States" as defined in Title 8 USC § 1101(a)(22)(A) or 32 CFR § 1602.3(b)(1), as he was born in Virginia, a Sovereign state of the Union, and not within any territory which is sovereign to the self interested United States, which includes only the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands, and the territories, possessions and enclaves of the United States (U.S. Const 1:8:17, 4:3:2, and Hooven & Allison v. Evatt [2]). Technically he is a "national of the United States" as defined in Title 8 USC § 1101(a)(22)(B):
Title 8 § 1101(a)
and 32 CFR § 1602.3(b)(2):
32 CFR § 1602.3 Aliens and nationals.
4. I find that contrary to some of the language found on your Form 3D, that there seem to be no penalties for failure to register other than loss of certain federal "benefits" as shown in § 462(f) within the Title 50 Appendix:
(f)(1) Except as provided in subsection (g), any person who is required under section 3 [50 USCS Appx § 453] to present himself for and submit to registration under such section and fails to do so in accordance with any proclamation issued under such section, or in accordance with any rule or regulation issued under such section, shall be ineligible for any form of assistance or benefit provided under title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965 [20 USCS §§ 1070 et seq.].
(2) In order to receive any grant, loan, or work assistance under title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965 (20 U.S.C. 1070 et seq.), a person who is required under section 3 [50 USCS Appx § 453] to present himself for and submit to registration under such section shall file with the institution of higher education which the person intends to attend, or is attending, a statement of compliance with section 3 [50 USCS Appx § 453] and regulations issued thereunder.
(4) The Secretary of Education, in consultation with the Director, shall issue regulations to implement the requirements of this subsection. Such regulations shall provide that any person to whom the Secretary of Education proposes to deny assistance or benefits under title IV [20 USCS §§ 1070 et seq.] for failure to meet the registration requirements of section 3 [50 USCS Appx § 453] and regulations issued thereunder shall be given notice of the proposed denial and shall have a suitable period (of not less than thirty days) after such notice to provide the Secretary with information and materials establishing that he has complied with the registration requirement under section 3 [50 USCS Appx § 453]. Such regulations shall also provide that the Secretary may afford such person an opportunity for a hearing to establish his compliance or for any other purpose.
(June 24, 1948, ch 625, Title I, § 16, 62 Stat. 624) (emphasis added)
Given the above facts, please provide an administrative declaratory order per Title 5 USC § 554(e) which answers the following questions. Please be sure to cite the relevant statutory or regulatory authority.
1. Pursuant to the Military Selective Service Act of June 24, 1948, Ch 625, 62 Stat. 604, is my son a "citizen of the United States" 32 CFR § 1602.3(b)(1) or a "national of the United States" 32 CFR § 1602.3(b)(2) ?
Please keep in mind that when an order is issued the burden of proof rests with the government agency. "Except as otherwise provided by statute, the proponent of a rule or order has the burden of proof … with the reliable, probative and substantial evidence" (USC Title 5 USC 556(d).
In addition, Congress provided penalties for officers and employees of the United States who refuse to do their job or who exceed their authority. The Military Selective Service Act (June 24, 1948, ch 625, Title I, § 12, 62 Stat. 622, as amended) provides for penalties for members of the Selective Service Administration who exceed or abuse their authority. 18 USC 241 states that if two or more persons conspire to injure, oppress, threaten or intimidate any inhabitant of any State, Territory, or District in the free exercise or enjoyment of any right … shall be fined not more than $10,000.00 or imprisoned not more than 10 years or both. Section 242 states that anyone, under color of law, statute, ordinance,	regulation or custom, willfully subjects any inhabitant of a State, Territory, or District to the deprivation of any rights, privileges or immunities … shall be fined not more than $1,000.00 or imprisoned not more than one year or both.
I anticipate a response within 30 days. Should you fail to respond as required by law with all the appropriate Federal Regulations and other documentation as needed to respond to the above statements with a proper and lawful affidavit or notice submitted under penalty of perjury that rebut or controvert any of the facts and law set out herein, such failure to answer will be deemed an express and explicit admission as to the truth of all the facts and law herein. I must then presume that this is your and the Selective Service System’s admission to all the above, including but not limited to the fact that there are no regulations which pertain to my son identifying him as within the scope of said requirement to register, that the SSS Form 3D he received is insufficient to establish jurisdiction since it provides no basis nor notice of regulations for such a requirement to register, that there are no regulations relating to a requirement to send him such a Notice, and, since any one of the issues raised herein could render the Notice defective, clearly the Notice has no legal effect and is null and void. In that event, you will be in default and I shall consider this matter closed, and my administrative remedies exhausted with prejudice. Then, if you should fail to vitiate the Notice and correct your records, or attempt to proceed against my son further, I'll find resolution in the district court of the United States.
