Analysis of Comments

    The proposed amendment to Selective Service Regulations was 
published in the Federal Register on December 28, 1994 (59 FR 66839) 
for public comment. No comment was received.
    The proposed regulation will become the final rule.

Executive Order 12866

    In promulgating this regulation, I have adhered to the regulatory 
philosophy and the applicable principles of regulation set forth in 
section 1 of Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review. 
This amendment has not been reviewed by the Office of Management and 
Budget under that Executive order, as it is not deemed ``significant'' 
thereunder.

Regulatory Flexibility Act

    I certify under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. chapter 6) 
that this rulemaking will not have a significant economic impact on a 
substantial number of small entities.

Paperwork Reduction Act

    The Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. chapter 35) does not apply 
because this rulemaking does not contain information collection 
requirements that require the approval of the Office of Management and 
Budget.

Certificate

    Whereas, on December 28, 1994, the Director of Selective Service 
published a Notice of Proposed Amendments of Selective Service 
Regulations at 59 FR 66839; and whereas such publication complied with 
the publication requirement of section 13(b) of the Military Selective 
Service Act (50 App. U.S.C. 463(b)) in that more than 30 days have 
elapsed subsequent to such publication during which period comments 
from the public (summarized above) have been received and considered; 
and I certify that I have requested the view of officials named in 
section 2(a) of Executive Order 11623 and none of them has timely 
requested that the matter be referred to the President for decision.
    Now therefore by virtue of the authority vested in me by the 
Military Selective Service Act, as amended (50 App. U.S.C. section 451 
et seq.) and Executive Order 11623 of October 12, 1971, the Selective 
Service Regulations [[Page 13908]] constituting a portion of Chapter 
XVI of Title 32 of the Code of Federal Regulations, are hereby amended, 
as stated below.
