an executive agency as a civil service officer or employee as defined in 
5 U.S.C. 2104 or 2105, respectively, a person who is not currently 
employed in that agency. It includes initial employment as well as 
transfer between agencies and subsequent employment after a break in 
service. Personnel actions that move an employee within an agency 
without a break in service are not covered. A break in service is a 
period of 4 or more calendar days during which an individual is no 
longer on the rolls of an executive agency.
    Covered individual means a male (a) whose application for 
appointment is under consideration by an executive agency or who is an

1959, and is at least 18 years of age or becomes 18 following 
appointment; (c) who is either a United States citizen or an alien 
(including parolees and refugees and those who are lawfully admitted to 
the United States for permanent residence and for asylum) residing in 
the United States; and (d) is or was required to register under section 
3 of the Military Selective Service Act (50 U.S.C. App. 453). 
Nonimmigrant aliens admitted under section 101(a)(15) of the Immigration 
and Nationality Act (8 U.S C. 1101), such as those admitted on visitor 
or student visas, and lawfully remaining in the United States, are 
exempt from registration.
    Executive agency means an agency of the Government of the United 
States as defined in 5 U.S.C. 105.
    Exemptions means those individuals determined by the Selective 
Service System to be excluded from the requirement to register under 
sections 3 and 6(a) of the Military Selective Service Act (50 U.S.C. 
App. 453 and 456(a)) or Presidential proclamation.
    Preponderance of the evidence means that degree of relevant evidence 
that a reasonable person, considering the record as a whole, would 
accept as sufficient to support a conclusion that the matter asserted is 
more likely to be true than not true.
    Registrant means an individual registered under Selective Service 
law.
    Selective Service law means the Military Selective Service Act, 
rules and regulations issued thereunder, and proclamations of the 
President under that Act.
    Selective Service System means the agency responsible for 
administering the registration system and for determining who is 
required to register and who is exempt.
