Bar to Appointment of Persons Who Fail To Register Under

AGENCY: Office of Personnel Management.
ACTION: Withdrawal of proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) withdraws a proposed
rule published on February 7, 2024. The notice of proposed rulemaking
proposed to revise the procedures for determining whether an
individual's failure to register with the Selective Service System
(SSS) was knowing and willful.
DATES: OPM withdraws the proposed rule published on February 7, 2024,
at 89 FR 8352, as of July 15, 2025.
ADDRESSES: The docket for this withdrawn rule is available at <a href="https://www.regulations.gov/docket/OPM-2023-0014">https://www.regulations.gov/docket/OPM-2023-0014</a>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On February 7, 2024, the Office of Personnel
Management (OPM) published a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM or
proposed rule) titled ``Bar to Appointment of Persons Who Fail to
Register Under Selective Service Law'' in the Federal Register. See 89
FR 8352. The NPRM proposed to change the procedures for determining
whether an individual's failure to register with the SSS was knowing
and willful. Specifically, OPM proposed to clarify the applicable
standard used to determine what constitutes ``knowing and willful,'' to
establish new procedures for individuals to submit evidence in support
of their non-registration, and to allow Executive agencies to make the
initial determination as to whether an individual's failure to register
with the SSS was knowing and willful.
In response to the NPRM, OPM received approximately 13 comments
during the 60-day comment period which ended on April 8, 2024.
All agencies participate in the semi-annual Unified Agenda of
Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions (``Unified Agenda''), which
provides a summary description of the regulatory actions that each
agency is considering or reviewing. Withdrawal of this proposed rule
will allow OPM to better align its entries on the Unified Agenda with
OPM's needs, priorities, and objectives.
Accordingly, for each of these independently sufficient reasons,
OPM is withdrawing the NPRM associated with Regulation Identifier
Numbers (``RIN'') 3206-AO37. Should OPM decide at a future date to
initiate the same or similar rulemakings, OPM will issue a new NPRM
under a new RIN.
