The
law under which the Selective Service System operates is the
Military Selective Service Act. (Act of June 24, 1948, c.
625, 62 Stat. 604, as amended; 50 U.S.C. App. 451 et seq.).
Selective Service Regulations are contained in Part 1600 of
Title 32 of the Code of Federal Regulations (32 CFR 1600).
The
periodic reports of the Director of Selective Service to the
Congress discuss the current activities of the Agency. These
reports have been published annually from 1948 to 1967, semiannually
from 1968 to 1988. Currently, the reports are published annually
as a result of the requirement change in 1989. They are usually
available in the government documents section of major libraries.
Detailed information concerning current Selective Service
procedures is available from the Selective Service Public
Affairs Office.
