Abstract: Let $M$ be a compact connected $3$-submanifold of the 3-sphere $S^3$ with one boundary component $F$ such that there exists a collection of $n$ pairwise disjoint connected orientable surfaces $\mathcal S=\{S_1,\cdots, S_n\}$ properly embedded in $M$, $\partial{\mathcal S}=\{\partial S_1,\cdots, \partial S_n\}$ is a complete curve system on $F$. We call $\mathcal S$ a complete surface system for $M$, and $\partial \mathcal{S}$ a complete spanning curve system for $M$. In the present paper, the authors show that the equivalent classes of complete spanning curve systems for $M$ are unique, that is, any complete spanning curve system for $M$ is equivalent to $\partial \mathcal S$. As an application of the result, it is shown that the image of the natural homomorphism from the mapping class group ${\mathcal M}(M)$ to ${\mathcal M}(F)$ is a subgroup of the handlebody subgroup ${\mathcal H}_n$.
