SELECTIVE SERVICE SYSTEM
Computer Matching Between the Selective Service System and the
Department of Education
AGENCY: Selective Service System.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974 (5 U.S.C. 552a), as
amended by the Computer matching and Privacy Protection Act of 1988
(Public Law 100-503), and the Office of Management and Budget (OMB)
Guidelines on the Conduct of Matching Programs (54 FR 25818 (June 19,
1989)), and OMB Bulletin 89-22, the following information is provided:
1. Name of participating agencies. The Selective Service System
(SSS) and the Department of Education (ED).
2. Purpose of the match. The purpose of this matching program is to
ensure that the requirements of Section 12(f) of the Military Selective
Service Act [50 U.S.C. App. 462(f)] are met.
3. Authority for conducting the matching program. Computerized
access to the Selective Service Registrant Registration Records (SSS
10) enables the U.S. Department of Education to confirm the
registration status of applicants for assistance under Title IV of the
Higher Education Act of 1965 (HEA), as amended (20 U.S.C. 1070 et.
seq.). Section 12(f) of the Military Selective Service Act, as amended
[50 U.S.C. App. 462(f)], denies eligibility for any form of assistance
or benefit under Title IV of the HEA to any person required to present
himself and submit to registration under Section 3 of the Military
Selective Service Act who fails to do so in accordance with that
section and any rules and regulations issued under that section. In
addition, the Military Selective Service Act and section 484(n) of the
HEA which allows the data match to fulfill the statement requirement
specifies that any person required to present himself and submit to
registration under Section 3 of the Military Selective Service Act file
a statement that he is in compliance with the Military Selective
Service Act. Furthermore, Section 12(f)(3) of the Military Selective
Service Act authorizes the Secretary of Education, in agreement with
the Director of the Selective Service, to prescribe methods for
verifying the statements of compliance filed by students.
Section 484(n) of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended (20
U.S.C. 1091), requires the Secretary of Education to conduct data base
matches with the Selective Service System, using common demographic
data elements, to enforce the Selective Service registration provisions
of the Military Selective Service Act [50 App. U.S.C. 462(f)], and
further states that appropriate confirmation of person's registration
shall fulfill the requirement to file a separate statement of
compliance.
4. Categories of records and individuals covered.
1. Federal Student Aid Application File (18-11-01). Individuals
covered are men born after December 31, 1959, but at least 18 years old
by June 30 of the applicable award year.
2. Selective Service Registration Records (SSS 10).
5. Inclusive dates of the matching program. Commence on July 1,
2002 or 40 days after copies of the matching agreement are transmitted
simultaneously to the Committee on Governmental Affairs of the Senate,
the Committee on Government Operations of the House of Representatives,
and the Office of Management and Budget, whichever is later, and remain
in effect for eighteen months unless earlier terminated or modified by
agreement of the parties.
6. Address for receipt of public comments or inquires. Willie L.
Blanding, Jr., Director of Operations, 1515 Wilson Boulevard,
Arlington, VA 22209-2425.
Dated: April 30, 2002.
