     Security classification: 
       None.
     System location: 
       Data Management Center/Joint Computer Center, Great Lakes, 
   Illinois 60088.
     Categories of individuals covered by the system: 
       Alleged violators of the Military Selective Service Act (50 
   U.S.C. App. 451 et seq).
     Categories of records in the system: 
       Automated records created by matches between records contained in 
   SSS-10 and other computer files, and other records related to non-
   registrants. Each record may contain the name, address, Selective 
   Service Number (if any), Social Security Account Number (if any), 
   date of birth, status, and disposition data relating to possible 
   violations of the Military Selective Service Act.
     Authority for maintenance of the system: 
       Section 10(b)(3) of the Military Selective Service Act (50 U.S.C. 
   App. 460(b)(3)).
     Routine uses of records maintained in the system, including 
   categories of users and the purposes of such uses: 
       The names of individuals identified as alleged violators of the 
   Military Selective Service Act will be checked against the SSS-10 
   registrant file. If the individual has registered, the incoming 
   communication will be destroyed and no further action will be taken. 
   If the individual is not listed in the registrant file or cannot be 
   identified therein where the incoming communication contains 
   sufficient identifying information on the alleged violator to permit 
   sending correspondence to him under the automated tracking system, 
   the name and associated information will be added to that system and 
   the incoming communication will be used to attempt to correspond with 
   the alleged violator, giving him an opportunity to register. After a 
   reasonable attempt is made to register the individual, and he neither 
   registers nor provides documented evidence supporting exemption or 
   where there is insufficient information to add the alleged violator 
   to the automated tracking system, the incoming communication may be 
   forwarded to the Department of Justice for investigation and, if 
   applicable, return to Selective Service with sufficient information 
   for adding to the automated tracking system or comparison with the 
   registrant file. When computer matches of Selective Service files 
   result in production of a list of possible non-registrants, that list 
   may be provided to the Department of Defense and the Department of 
   Transportation to eliminate from the list individuals not required to 
   register. The names, dates of birth, Social Security Account Numbers, 
   and home addresses of possible non-registrants who also have been 
   identified as members of the Reserve components of the U.S. military 
   services, including the U.S. Coast Guard, may be provided to the 
   Department of Defense, including the military services, and the U.S. 
   Coast Guard, Department of Transportation, to obtain current 
   addresses. The names, dates of birth, Social Security Account 
   Numbers, home addresses, and disposition data on possible non-
   registrants who have been identified as Federal student aid 
   recipients by the Department of Education may be provided to the 
   Department of Education, after processing by Selective Service, for 
   investigation and, if applicable, forwarding to the Department of 
   Justice for prosecution. The list may also be provided to the 
   Internal Revenue Service to obtain current addresses of suspected 
   non-registrants. After processing the information pertaining to 
   suspected non-registrants will be forwarded to the Department of 
   Justice for investigation and, if applicable, prosecution.
       Where Selective Service determines that information as originally 
   submitted appears to have contained a discrepancy, the names, dates 
   of birth, Social Security Account Numbers, and home addresses of 
   individuals may be returned to the original sources together with 
   information concerning the discrepancy. Information concerning the 
   discrepancy may include correspondence from the individual concerned.
     Policies and practices for storing, retrieving, accessing, 
   retaining, and disposing of records in the system: 
     Storage: 
       Upon receipt of unsolicited communications regarding alleged 
   violators of the Military Service Act who are not listed in the SSS 
   registrant file, a computer record will be created. This is an 
   automated tracking system which contains the nature of the alleged 
   violator, his Social Security Account Number if available, the date 
   sent to the Department of Justice, the final disposition when 
   received, and the case control number. The document is microfilmed, 
   and can be retrieved by a Document Locator Number recorded in the 
   computer record. The original document is destroyed.
       When computer matches between Selective Service and other files 
   produce lists of possible non-registrants, the computer file will be 
   produced and maintained. As the list is processed the paper file will 
   be produced from the microfilm records, containing correspondence 
   between possible non-registrants and Selective Service. A 
   computerized tracking file of cases will be maintained.
     Retrievability: 
       Indexed Selective Service Number, Social Security Account Number, 
   name and case number (if any).
     Safeguards: 
       (a) Records are available to authorized Selective Service 
   personnel only.
       (b) Paper records are converted to microfilm. A microfilm copy is 
   kept in a locked file cabinet accessible only to authorized 
   personnel. The microfilm original is transferred to a Federal 
   Archives and Records Center. The paper records are destroyed after 
   microfilming.
       (c) Building is secured and patrolled after normal business 
   hours. Access is controlled by an electronic security access system.
       (d) Computer files will be maintained at the Joint Computer 
   Center at Great Lakes, Illinois.
       (i) Security guards for the building will allow access to 
   authorized personnel only.
       (ii) Computer room will be secured with cypher locks.
       (iii) Terminal access to the computer system will be restricted 
   to those with valid user ID and password.
       (iv) A Customer Information Control system will require 
   additional password for interactive access to data base information.
       (v) A software security package will protect access to data in 
   the system.
       (vi) Access to the violator section of the data base will not be 
   possible without specific authorization by the Data Base 
   Administrator.
     Retention and disposal: 
       Upon receipt of unsolicited information regarding an alleged 
   violation of the Military Selective Service Act, SSS will check the 
   registrant file for the individual's name. If the individual has 
   registered, the incoming correspondence will be destroyed and no 
   record will be made or retained by SSS. If the individual is not 
   listed in the registrant file, the individual will be entered into 
   the automated tracking system, and the incoming correspondence will 
   be used to attempt to correspond with the alleged violator, giving 
   him an opportunity to register. After a reasonable attempt is made to 
   register the individual, and he neither registers nor provides 
   documented evidence supporting exemption, the communication may be 
   sent to the Department of Justice. SSS will not retain copies of the 
   incoming correspondence or any record identifying the source of the 
   unsolicited information regarding an alleged violation. When computer 
   matches identify persons as possible non-registrants, processing may 
   result in the production of a paper file of correspondence and/or 
   other information. SSS will not retain paper copies of this 
   information when cases are referred to the Department of Justice, but 
   will retain microfilm copies. Once the Department of Justice has 
   disposed of the case, as it deems appropriate, the Department will 
   notify SSS, and the individual's name and related data will be 
   deleted from the tracking system list of possible non-registrants.
       All paper forms and correspondence will be destroyed by 
   maceration, shredding or burning after the appropriate information 
   has been recorded. Computer printouts distributed to SSS National 
   Headquarters are destroyed when they have served their temporary 
   purpose by maceration, shredding or burning.

  Source: 47 FR 7224, Feb. 18, 1982, unless otherwise noted.

   Sec. 1665.1  Rules fordetermining if an individual is the subject of 
   a record.

  (a) Individuals desiring to know if a specific system of records 
maintained by the Selective Service System (SSS) contains a record 
pertaining to them should address their inquiries to the Director, 
Selective Service System, ATTN: Records Manager, Washington, DC 20435. 
The written inquiry should contain a specific reference to the system of 
records maintained by Selective Service listed in the SSS Notices of 
Systems of Records or it should describe the type of record in 
sufficient detail to reasonably identify the system of records. Notice 
of SSS Systems of Records subject to the Privacy Act is in the Federal 
Register and copies of the notices will be available upon request to the 
records manager. A compilation of such notices will also be made and 
published by the Office of Federal Register, in accord with 5 U.S.C. 
552a(f).
  (b) At a minimum, the request should also contain sufficient 
information to identify the requester in order to allow SSS to determine 
if there is a record pertaining to that individual in a particular 
system of records. In instances when the information is insufficient to 
insure that disclosure will be to the individual to whom the information 
pertains, in view of the sensitivity of the information, SSS reserves 
the right to ask the requester for additional identifying information.
  (c) Ordinarily the requester will be informed whether the named system 
of records contains a record pertaining to the requester within 10 days 
of receipt of such a request (excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and legal 
federal holidays). Such a response will also contain or reference the 
procedures which must be followed by the individual making therequest in 
order to gain access to the record.
  (d) Whenever a response cannot be made within the 10 days, the records 
manager will inform the requester of the reason for the delay and the 
date by which a response may be anticipated.

   Sec. 1665.2  Requests for access.

  (a) Requirement for written requests. Individuals desiring to gain 
access to a record pertaining to them in a system of records maintained 
by SSS must submit their request in writing in accord with the 
procedures set forth in paragraph (b) of this section.
  (b) Procedures.--(1) Content of the request. (i) The request for 
access to a record in a system of records shall be addressed to the 
records manager, at the address cited above, and shall name the system 
of records or contain a description of such system of records. The 
request should state that the request is pursuant to the Privacy Act of 
1974. In the absence of specifying solely the Privacy Act of 1974 and, 
if the request may be processed under both the Freedom of Information 
Act and the Privacy Act and the request specifies both or neither act, 
the procedures under the Privacy Act of 1974 will be employed. The 
individual will be advised that the procedures of the Privacy Act will 
be utilized, of the existence and the general effect of the Freedom of 
Information Act, and the difference between procedures under the two 
acts (e.g. fees, time limits, access). The request should contain 
necessary information to verify the identity of the requester (see 
Sec. 1665.2(b)(2)(vi)). In addition, the requester should include any 
other information which may assist in the rapid identification of the 
record for which access is being requested (e.g., maiden name, dates of 
employment, etc.) as well as any other identifying information contained 
in and required by SSS Notice of Systems of Records.
  (ii) If the request for access follows a prior request under 
Sec. 1665.1, the same identifying information need not be included in 
the requestfor access if a reference is made to that prior 
correspondence, or a copy of the SSS response to that request is 
attached.
  (iii) If the individual specifically desires a copy of the record, the 
request should so specify.
  (2) SSS action on request. A request for access will ordinarily be 
answered within 10 days, except when the records manager determines that 
access cannot be afforded in that time, in which case the requester will 
be informed of the reason for the delay and an estimated date by which 
the request will be answered. Normally access will be granted within 30 
days from the date the request was received by the Selective Service 
System. At a minimum, the answer to the request for access shall include 
the following:
  (i) A statement that there is a record as requested or a statement 
that there is not a record in the system of records maintained by SSS;
  (ii) A statement as to whether access will be granted only by 
providing copy of the record through the mail; or the address of the 
location and the date and time at which the record may be examined. In 
the event the requester is unable to meet the specified date and time, 
alternative arrangements may be made with the official specified in 
Sec. 1665.2(b)(1);
  (iii) A statement, when appropriate, that examination in person will 
be the sole means of granting access only when the records manager has 
determined that it would not unduly impede the requester's right of 
access;
  (iv) The amount of fees charged, if any (see Sec. 1665.6) (Fees are 
applicable only to requests for copies);
  (v) The name, title, and telephone number of the SSS official having 
operational control over the record; and
  (vi) The documentation required by SSS to verify the identity of the 
requester. At a minimum, SSS's verification standards include the 
following:
  (A) Current or former SSS employees. Current or former SSS employees 
requesting access to a record pertaining to them in a system of records 
maintained by SSS may, in addition to the other requirements of this 
section, and at the sole discretion of the official having operational 
control over the record, have his or her identity verified by visual 
observation. If the current or former SSS employee cannot be so 
identified by the official having operational control over the records, 
identification documentation will be required. Employee identification 
cards, annuitant identification, drivers licenses, or the ``employee 
copy'' of any official personnel document in the record are examples of 
acceptable identification validation.
  (B) Other than current or former SSS employees. Individuals other than 
current or former SSS employees requesting access to a record pertaining 
to them in a system of records maintained by SSS must produce 
identification documentation of the type described herein, prior to 
being granted access. The extent of the identification documentation 
required will depend on the type of recordto be accessed. In most cases, 
identification verification will be accomplished by the presentation of 
two forms of identification. Any additional requirements are specified 
in the system notices published pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(e)(4).
  (C) Access granted by mail. For records to be accessed by mail, the 
records manager shall, to the extent possible, establish identity by a 
comparison of signatures in situations where the data in the record is 
not so sensitive that unauthorized access could cause harm or 
embarrassment to the individual to whom they pertain. No identification 
documentation will be required for the disclosure to the requester of 
information required to be made available to the public by 5 U.S.C. 552. 
When in the opinion of the records manager the granting of access 
through the mail could reasonably be expected to result in harm or 
embarrassment if disclosed to a person other than the individual to whom 
the record pertains, a notarized statementof identity or some similar 
assurance of identity will be required.
  (D) Unavailability of identification documentation. If an individual 
is unable to produce adequate identification documentation the 
individual will be required to sign a statement asserting identity and 
acknowledging that knowingly or willfully seeking or obtaining access to 
a record about another person under false pretenses may result in a fine 
of up to $5,000. In addition, depending upon the sensitivity of the 
records sought to be accessed, the official having operational control 
over the records may require such further reasonable assurances as may 
be considered appropriate e.g., statements of other individuals who can 
attest to the identity of the requester. No verification of identity 
will be required of individuals seeking access to records which are 
otherwise available to any person under 5 U.S.C. 552, Freedom of 
Information Act.
  (E) Access by the parent of a minor, or legal guardian.A parent of a 
minor, upon presenting suitable personal identification, may access on 
behalf of the minor any record pertaining to the minor maintained by SSS 
in a system of records. A legal guardian may similarly act on behalf of 
an individual declared to be incompetent due to physical or mental 
incapacity or age by a court of competent jurisdiction. Absent a court 
order or consent, a parent or legal guardian has no absolute right to 
have access to a record about a child. Minors are not precluded from 
exercising on their own behalf rights given to them by the Privacy Act.
  (F) Granting access when accompanied by another individual. When an 
individual requesting access to his or her record in a system of 
recordsmaintained by SSS wishes to be accompanied by another individual 
during the course of the examination of the record, the individual 
making the request shall submit to the official having operational 
control of the record, a signed statement authorizing that person access 
to the record.
  (G) Denial of access for inadequate identification documentation. If 
the official having operational control over the records in a system of 
records maintained by SSS determines that an individual seeking access 
has not provided sufficient identification documentation to permit 
access, the official shall consult with the records manager prior to 
finally denying the individual access.
  (H) Review of decision to deny access. Whenever the records manager 
determines, in accordance with the procedures herein, that access cannot 
be granted the response will also include a statement of the procedures 
to obtain a review of the decision to deny in accord with Sec. 1665.5.
  (vii) Exceptions.(A) Nothing in these regulations shall be construed 
to entitle an individual the right to access to any information compiled 
in reasonable anticipation of a civil action or proceeding. The mere 
fact that records in a system of records are frequently the subject of 
litigation does not bring those systems of records within the scope of 
this provision. This provision is not intended to preclude access by an 
individual to the records which are available to that individual under 
the other processes such as the Freedom of Information Act or the rules 
of civil procedure.
  (B) Within any system of records pertaining to possible violations of 
the Military Selective Service Act, the identity of or any information 
pertaining to any individual who provides information relating to a 
suspected violator will not be revealed to the suspected violator. This 
exemption is made under the provision of 5 U.S.C. 552a(k)(2).

   Sec. 1665.3  Access to the accounting of disclosures from records.

  Rules governing the granting of access to the accounting of disclosure 
are the same as those for granting accesses to the records (including 
verification of identity) outlined in Sec. 1665.2.

   Sec. 1665.4  Requests to amend records.

  (a) Requirement for written requests. Individuals desiring to amend a 
record that pertains to them in a system of records maintained by SSS 
must submit their request in writing in accord with the procedures set 
forth herein. Records not subject to the Privacy Act of 1974 will not be 
amended in accord with these provisions. However, individuals who 
believe that such records are inaccurate may bring this to the attention 
of SSS.
  (b) Procedures. (1)(i) The requests to amend a record in a system of 
records shall be addressed to the records manager. Included in the 
request shall be the name of the system and a brief description of the 
record proposed for amendment. In the event the request to amend the 
record is the result of the individual's having gained access to the 
record in accordance with the provisions concerning access to records as 
set forth above, copies of previous correspondence between the requester 
and SSS will serve in lieu of a separate description of the record.
  (ii) When the individual's identity has been previously verified 
pursuant to Sec. 1665.2(b)(2)(vi), further verification of identity is 
not required as long as the communication does not suggest that a need 
for verification is present. If the individual's identity has not been 
previously verified, SSS may require identification validation as 
described in Sec. 1665.2(b)(2)(vi). Individuals desiring assistance in 
the preparation of a request to amend a record should contact the 
records manager at the address cited above.
  (iii) The exact portion of the record the individual seeks to have 
amended should be clearly indicated. If possible, the proposed 
alternative language should also be set forth, or at a minimum, the 
facts which the individual believes are not accurate, relevant, timely, 
or complete should be set forth with such particularity as to permit SSS 
not only to understand the individual's basis for the request, but also 
to make an appropriate amendment to the record.
  (iv) The request must also set forth the reasons why the individual 
believes his record is not accurate, relevant, timely, or complete. In 
order to avoid the retention by SSS of personal information merely to 
permit verification of records, the burden of persuading SSS to amend a 
record will be upon the individual. The individual must furnish 
sufficient facts to persuade the official in charge of the system of the 
inaccuracy, irrelevancy, timeliness or incompleteness of the record.
  (v) Incomplete or inaccurate requests will not be rejected 
categorically. The individual will be asked to clarify the request as 
needed.
  (2) SSS action on the request. To the extent possible, a decision, 
upon a request to amend a record will be made within 10 days, (excluding 
Saturdays, Sundays, and legal Federal holidays). The response reflecting 
the decisions upon a request for amendment will include the following:
  (i) The decision of the Selective Service System whether to grant in 
whole, or deny any part of the request to amend the record.
  (ii) The reasons for determination for any portion of the request 
which is denied.
  (iii) The name and address of the official with whom an appeal of the 
denial may be lodged.
  (iv) The name and address of the official designated to assist, as 
necessary and upon request of, the individual making the request in 
preparation of the appeal.
  (v) A description of the review of the appeal with SSS (see 
Sec. 1665.5).
  (vi) A description of any other procedures which may be required of 
the individual in order to process the appeal.
  (3) If the nature of the request for the correction of the system of 
records precludes a decision within 10 days, the individual making the 
request will be informed within 10 days of the extended date for a 
decision. Such a decision will be issued as soon as it is reasonably 
possible, normally within 30 days from the receipt of the request 
(excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and legal Federal holidays) unless 
unusual circumstances preclude completing action within that time. If 
the expected completion date for the decision indicated cannot be met, 
the individual will be advised of the delay of a revised date when the 
decision may be expected to be completed.

   Sec. 1665.5  Request for review.

  (a) Individuals wishing to request a review of the decision by SSS 
with regard to any initial request to access or amend a record in accord 
with the provisions of Secs. 1665.2 and 1665.4, should submit the 
request for review in writing and, to the extent possible, include the 
information specified in Sec. 1665.5(b). Individuals desiring assistance 
in the preparation of their request for review should contact the 
records manager at the address provided herein.
  (b) The request for review should contain a brief description of the 
record involved or in lieu thereof, copies of the correspondence from 
SSS in which the request to access or to amend was denied and also the 
reasons why the requester believes that access should be granted or the 
disputed information amended. The request for review should make 
reference to the information furnished by the individual in support of 
his claim and the reasons as required by Secs. 1665.2 and 1665.4 set 
forth by SSS in its decision denying access or amendment. Appeals filed 
without a complete statement by the requester setting forth the reasons 
for review will, of course, be processed. However, in order to make the 
appellate process as meaningful as possible, the requester's 
disagreement should be set forth in an understandable manner. In order 
to avoid the unnecessary retention of personal information, SSS reserves 
the right to dispose of the material concerning the request to access or 
amend a record if no request for review in accord with this section is 
received by SSS within 180 days of the mailing by SSS of its decision 
upon an initial request. A request for review received after the 180 day 
period may, at the discretion of the records manager, be treated as an 
initial request to access or amend a record.
  (c) The request for review should be addressed to the Director of 
Selective Service.
  (d) The Director of Selective Service will inform the requester in 
writing of the decision on the request for review within 20 days 
(excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and legal federal holidays) from the date 
of receipt by SSS of the individual's request for review unless the 
Director extends the 20 days period for good cause. The extension and 
the reasons therefor will be sent by SSS to the requester within the 
initial 20 day period. Such extensions should not be routine and should 
not normally exceed an additional thirty days. If the decision does not 
grant in full the request for amendment, the notice of the decision will 
provide a description of the steps the individual may take to obtain 
judicial review of such a decision, a statement that the individual may 
file a concise statement with SSS setting forth the individual's reasons 
for his disagreement with the decision and the procedures for filing 
such a statement of disagreement. The Director of Selective Service has 
the authority to determine the ``conciseness'' of the statement, taking 
into account the scope of thedisagreement and the complexity of the 
issues. Upon the filing of a proper, concise statement by the 
individual, any subsequent disclosure of the information in dispute will 
be clearly noted so that the fact that the record is disputed is 
apparent, a copy of the concise statement furnished and a concise 
statement by SSS setting forth its reasons for not making the requested 
changes, if SSS chooses to file such a statement. A notation of a 
dispute is required to be made only if an individual informs the agency 
of his disagreement with SSS's determination in accord with 
Sec. 1665.5(a), (b) and (c). A copy of the individual's statement, and 
if it chooses, SSS's statement will be sent to any prior transferee of 
the disputed information who is listed on the accounting required by 5 
U.S.C. 552a(c). If the reviewing official determines that the record 
should be amended in accord with the individual's request, SSS will 
promptly correct the record, advise the individual, and inform previous 
recipients if an accounting of the disclosure was made pursuant to 5 
U.S.C. 552a(c). The notification of correction pertains to information 
actually disclosed.

   Sec. 1665.6  Schedule of fees.

  (a) Prohibitions against charging fees. Individuals will not be 
charged for:
  (1) The search and review of the record.
  (2) Any copies of the record produced as a necessary part of the 
process of making the record available for access, or
  (3) Any copies of the requested record when it has been determined 
that access can only be accomplished by providing a copy of the record 
through the mail.
  (4) Where a registrant has been charged under the Military Selective 
Service Act and must defend himself in a criminal prosecution, or where 
a registrant submits to induction and thereafter brings habeas corpus 
proceedings to test the validity of his induction, the Selective Service 
System will furnish to him, or to any person he may designate, one copy 
of his Selective Service file free of charge.
  (b) Waiver. The Director of Selective Service may at no charge, 
provide copies of a record if it is determined the production of the 
copies is in the interest of the Government.
  (c) Fee schedule and method of payment. Fees will be charged as 
provided below except as provided in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this 
section.
  (1) Duplication of records. Records will be duplicated at a rate of 
$.25 per page.
  (2) Fees should be paid in full prior to issuance of requested copies. 
In the event the requester is in arrears for previous requests, copies 
will not be provided for any subsequent request until the arrears have 
been paid in full.
  (3) Remittance shall be in the form of cash, a personal check or bank 
draft drawn on a bank in the United States, or postal money order. 
Remittances shall be made payable to the order of the Selective Service 
System and mailed or delivered to the records manager, Selective Service 
System, Washington, DC 20435.
  (4) A receipt of fees paid will be given upon request.

   Sec. 1665.7  Information available to the public or to former 
   employers of registrants.

  (a) Each area office maintains a classification record which contains 
the name, Selective Service number, and the current and past 
classifications for each person assigned to that board. Information in 
this record may be inspected at the area office at which it is 
maintained.
  (b) Any compensated employee of the Selective Service System may 
disclose to the former employer of a registrant who is serving in or who 
has been discharged from the Armed Forces whether the registrant has or 
has not been discharged and, if discharged, the date thereof, upon 
reasonable proof that the registrant left a position in the employ of 
the person requesting such information in order to serve in the Armed 
Forces.
  (c) Whenever an office referred to in this section is closed, the 
request for information that otherwise would be submitted to it should 
be submitted to the National Headquarters, Selective Service System, 
Washington, DC 20435.

   Sec. 1665.8  Systems of records exempted from certain provisions of 
   this act.

  Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(k)(2), the Selective Service System will not 
reveal to the suspected violator the informant's name or other 
identifying information relating to the informant.

(5 U.S.C. 552a)
