The local board will receive and consider all information, pertinent to the classification of a registrant, presented to it. The mailing by the local board of a Classification Questionnaire (SSS Form No. 100) to the latest address furnished by a registrant shall be notice to the registrant that unless information is presented to the local board, within the time specified for the return of the questionnaire, which will justify his deferment or exemption from military service the registrant will be classified in Class I-A.

A notation of such removal shall be placed on the empty cover sheet which shall then continue to be filed with the other cover sheets of the previous registration.

§ 1650.11 Classification. (a) Except as otherwise provided in this section, the provisions of Parts 1622 and 1623 of this chapter shall be applicable to the classification of special registrants including such provisions as relate to the transfer of a registrant for classification.
(b) Each special registrant who has not attained the fifty-first anniversary of the day of his birth shall be considered by the local board as available for military service until his eligibility for deferment or exemption from military service is clearly established to the satisfaction of the local board. The delivery to a special registrant of a Classification Questionnaire (SSS Form No. 100) and an Initial Data for Classification and Commissioning in Medical Services for Medical, Dental and Veterinary Corps (DD Form No. 390) shall be notice to the registrant that unless information is presented to the local board, within the time specified for the return of the questionnaire and initial data form, which will justify his deferment or exemption from military service, the registrant will be classified in Class I-A.
(c) Every special registrant shall be placed in Class I-A under the provisions of § 1622.10 of this chapter except that when grounds are established to place such registrant in one or more of the classes listed in the following table, the special registrant shall be classified in the lowest class for which he is determined to be eligible, with Class I-A-O considered the highest class and Class I-C considered the lowest class according to the following table:
Class:
I-A-O IV-D
I-O IV-F
I-D V-A
II-A I-W
III-A I-C
IV-A
(d) A special registrant shall be placed in Class I-A-0 under the provisions of § 1622.11 of this chapter.
(e)(1) A special registrant shall be placed in Class I-C if he is on, or enters upon, active duty in the armed forces or the Public Health Service.
(2) A special registrant shall be placed in Class I-C if he has entered upon active duty in the armed forces after the date fixed for his registration in any special registration and has been separated therefrom by honorable discharge or discharge under honorable conditions or by an equivalent type of release from service, or has been so separated and transferred to a reserve component of the armed forces. Each such special registrant who has been transferred to a reserve component of the armed forces shall be identified on all records by following his classification with the abbreviation "Res.", and every other such special registrant shall be similarly identified with the abbreviation "Disc.". Upon attaining the fifty-first anniversary of the day of his birth, each such special registrant shall be reclassified in Class V-A.
(f) A special registrant shall be placed in Class I-D if he is or becomes a member of a reserve component of the armed forces or the Public Health Service.
(g) A special registrant shall be placed in Class I-O under the provisions of § 1622.14 of this chapter.
(h) A special registrant shall be placed in Class I-W under the provisions of § 1622.16 of this chapter.
(i) A special registrant shall be placed in Class II-A only if it is determined that (1) the medical, dental, or allied specialist service being performed by such registrant in his community is necessary to the maintenance of the national health, safety, or interest, (2) the service performed by him cannot be performed by other medical, dental, or allied specialists who are in the community, and (3) the registrant cannot be replaced in the community by another person who can perform such medical, dental, or allied specialist service. It is the intent of these criteria that a special registrant shall be place in Class II-A when his induction would cause the availability of essential health services to fall below reasonable minimum standards. In making such determination, the local board shall give consideration to but shall not be bound by any advice offered by any committee established pursuant to section 4(j) of title I of the Universal Military Training and Service Act, as amended.
(j) A special registrant shall be placed in Class III-A only if (1) it is determined that his induction into the armed forces would result in extreme hardship and privation to a wife, child, or parent, with whom he maintains a bona fide family relationship in their home, regardless of the date on which such bona fide family relationship was established, and (2) by reason of such determination it is considered advisable that he be deferred. The term "child" as used in this paragraph means a legitimate or an illegitimate child from the date of its conception, a child legally adopted, a stepchild, a foster child, and a person who is supported in good faith by the registrant in a relationship similar to that of parent and child, but shall not include any person 18 years of age or over unless he is physically or mentally handicapped.
(k) A special registrant shall be placed in Class IV-A only if he is the sole surviving son of a family of which one or more sons or daughters were killed in action or died in line of duty while serving in the Armed Forces of the United States, or subsequently died as a result of injuries received or disease incurred during such service.
(l) A special registrant shall be placed in Class IV-D under the provisions of § 1622.43 of this chapter.
(m) A special registrant shall be placed in Class IV-F either under the provisions of §1622.44 of this chapter or if he is otherwise not acceptable to the armed forces for service.
(n) A special registrant shall be placed in Class V-A if he has attained the fifty-first anniversary of the day of his birth unless (1) he is on active military service in the armed forces and is in Class I-C, or (2) he is performing civilian work contributing to the maintenance of the national health, safety, or interest in accordance with the order of the local board and is in Class I-W. Except as is otherwise provided in this paragraph, every special registrant who prior to attaining the fifty-first anniversary of the day of his birth has been classified in some other class shall, as soon as practicable after attaining the fifty-first anniversary of the day of his birth, be reclassified into Class V-A.
h. Paragraphs (e) and (f) of section 1650.30 of Part 1650 are amended to read as follows:
(e) The State Director of Selective Service shall maintain a record at State Headquarters of the name, local board, date of birth, specialist category, and number of order of priority under section 4(i)(2) of title I of the Universal Military Training and Service Act, as amended, of each special registrant who has been found acceptable for service in the armed forces. After the State Director of Selective Service has entered this information on such record, he shall forward the records received from the final examining agency of the armed forces for each special registrant to the registrant's local board.
(f) The Certificate of Acceptability (DD Form No. 62) for each special registrant who is found acceptable for service in the armed forces will show the specialist category in which the armed forces will accept him for service.

(1) Within each specialist category, those special registrants who are in a lower numbered order of priority as defined in section 4(i)(2) of title I of the Universal Military Training and Service Act, as amended, shall be ordered to report for induction before special registrants who are in a higher numbered order of priority.
(2) 'Those special registrants who are in priority one or priority three, as defined in section 4(i)(2) of title I of the Universal Military Training and Service Act, as amended, shall be ordered to report for induction in the order of their dates of birth with the youngest being selected first.
(3) Those special registrants who are in priority two, as defined by section 4(i)(2) of title I of the Universal Military Training and Service Act, as amended, shall be ordered to report for induction according to their length of active duty in the Army, the Air Force, the Navy, the Marine Corps, the Coast Guard, and the Public Health Service (exclusive of time spent in postgraduate training) subsequent to the completion of or release from a program or course of instruction referred to in priority two, as above defined, with those having the least number of full months of such service being selected first.

j. Section 1650.44 of Part 1650 is amended to read as follows:
§ 1650.44 Action by local board upon receipt of notice of a special call. Each local board, upon receiving a Notice of Call on Local Board (SSS Form No. 201) from the State Director of Selective Service for a specified number of men in a specialist category shall select and order to report for induction the number of such men required to fill the call from among its special registrants in that specialist category who have been classified in Class I-A and Class I-A-O and who have been found acceptable for service in the armed forces, except that a special registrant classified in Class I-A or Class I-A-0 who is a delinquent may be selected and ordered to report for induction notwithstanding the fact that he has not been found acceptable for service in the armed forces. Such special registrants shall be selected and ordered to report for induction in the order prescribed in paragraph (b) of § 1650.40; provided, that any such special registrant who is a delinquent shall, regardless of his age or length of prior active duty or service be selected and ordered to report for induction before any other special registrant in the same specialist category and priority. When two or more such special registrants have the same date of birth or the same number of full months of prior active duty or service, they shall, as among themselves, be selected in alphabetical order.
