[Federal Register Volume 59, Number 248 (Wednesday, December 28, 1994)] [Unknown Section] [Page ] From the Federal Register Online via the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] [FR Doc No: 94-31721] [Federal Register: December 28, 1994] ======================================================================= ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SELECTIVE SERVICE SYSTEM 32 CFR Part 1636 Selective Service Regulations; Registrant Processing Procedures AGENCY: Selective Service System. ACTION: Proposed rule. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: Procedures for the processing of registrants under the Military Selective Service Act (50 App. U.S.C. 451 et seq.) are revised to assure greater fairness and efficiency in administration in the processing of registrants. DATES: Comment Date: Written comments received on or before March 1, 1995 will be considered. EFFECTIVE DATE: Subject to the comments received, the amendment is proposed to become effective upon publication in the Federal Register of a final rule. ADDRESSES: Written comments to: Selective Service System, ATTN: General Counsel, 1515 Wilson Blvd., Arlington, VA 22209-2425. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Henry N. Williams, General Counsel, Selective Service System, 1515 Wilson Blvd., Arlington, VA 22209-2425. Phone (703) 235-2050. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A. Discussion of Proposed Regulation Part 1636--Classification of Conscientious Objectors. Paragraph (b) of sec. 1636.8 reads: ``The registrant's stated convictions should be a matter of conscience which would give him no rest or peace should he participate in war.'' The proposed rule would delete the words ``which would give him no rest or peace should he participate in war.'' This action is proposed because of allegations that paragraph (b) is unclear. B. Matters of Rule Making Procedures This amendment to Selective Service Regulations is published pursuant to section 13(b) of the Military Selective Service Act (50 App. U.S.C. 463(b)) and Executive Order 11623. These Regulations implement the Military Selective Service Act (50 App. U.S.C. 451 et seq.) Interested persons are invited to submit written comments on the proposed rule. All written comments received in response to this notice of proposed rulemaking will be available for public inspection in the Office of the General Counsel from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday, except legal holidays. As required by Executive Order 12291, I have determined that this proposed rule is not a ``Major'' rule and therefore does not require a Regulatory Impact Analysis. Pursuant to the requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (Pub. L. 96-354, 94 Stat. 1164, 5 U.S.C. 601-612), I have determined that this regulation does not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. The Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. chapter 35) does not apply because this rule does not contain an information collection requirement that requires the approval of the Office of Management and Budget. List of Subjects in 32 CFR Part 1636 Armed forces--draft. Gil Coronado, Director of Selective Service. The proposed regulation is: PART 1636--CLASSIFICATION OF CONSCIENTIOUS OBJECTORS 1. The authority citation for part 1636 continues to read as follows: Authority: Military Selective Service Act (50 App. U.S.C. 451 et seq.); E.O. 11623. 2. In sec. 1636.8, paragraph (b) is revised to read as follows: Sec. 1636.8 Considerations relevant to granting or denying a claim for classification as a conscientious objector. * * * * * ``The registrant's stated convictions should be a matter of conscience.'' * * * * * [FR Doc. 94-31721 Filed 12-27-94; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 8015-01-M
