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. 522a), as
amended by the Computer Matching and Privacy Protection Act of 1988
(Pub. L. 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 System Act [50 U.S.C. App. 462 (f)] are met.
3. Authority for conducting the matching: Computerized access to
the Selective Service Registrant Registration Records (SSS 10) enables
ED 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 for and submit to registration under
Section 3 of the Military Selective Service System Act [50 U.S.C. App.
453] who fails to do so in accordance with that section and any rules
and regulations issued under that section. In addition, Section
12(f)(2) of the Military Selective Service System Act specifies that
any person required to present himself for and submit to registration
under Section 3 of the Military Selective Service System Act must file
a statement with the institution of higher education where the person
intends to attend or is attending that he is in compliance with the
Military Selective Service System Act. Furthermore, Section 12(f)(3) of
the Military Selective Service System 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 HEA [20 U.S.C. 1091(n)], requires the
Secretary to conduct data base matches with SSS, using common
demographic data elements, to enforce the Selective Service
registration provisions of the Military Selective Service Act [50
U.S.C. App. 462(f)], and further states that appropriate confirmation
of a person's 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 January 1,
2005 or 40 days after copies of the matching agreement are transmitted
simultaneously to the Committee on Government 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: Richard S.
Flahavan, Associate Director, Office of Public and Intergovernmental
Affairs, Selective Service System.
