DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
Bureau of Prisons
28 CFR Part 570
RIN 1120-AA10
Control, Custody, Care, Treatment and Instruction of Inmates;
Furloughs
AGENCY: Bureau of Prisons, Justice.
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: In this document the Bureau of Prisons is proposing to amend
its rule on furloughs. Section 570.33(c) contained provisions governing
the choice of transportation for transfers to community corrections
centers. As revised, these provisions have been simplified to indicate
that an inmate may choose the means of transportation if all
transportation costs are to be borne by the inmate. The intended effect
of the amendment is to reduce costs to the Bureau.
DATES: Comments due by March 22, 1994.
ADDRESSES: Office of General Counsel, Bureau of Prisons, HOLC room 754,
320 First Street, NW., Washington, DC 20534.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Roy Nanovic, Office of General
Counsel, Bureau of Prisons, phone (202) 514-6655.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Bureau of Prisons is proposing to amend
its regulations on furloughs. A final rule on this subject was
published in the Federal Register July 1, 1981 (46 FR 34552) and was
amended September 30, 1983 (48 FR 45051). A further amendment appears
elsewhere in today's Federal Register.
Current provisions in Sec. 570.33(c) state that the Warden may
allow an inmate scheduled for transfer to a community corrections
center (CCC) to choose the mean of transportation to the CCC. Under
these provisions, the inmate pays all costs when the distance travelled
is not over 150 miles, but the inmate merely pays the difference in
cost when the distance is over 150 miles and the inmate prefers to
travel by plane rather than by public ground transportation. As
proposed for revision, paragraph (c) has been simplified to indicate
that an inmate may choose the means of transportation if all
transportation costs are to be borne by the inmate.
The Bureau of Prisons has determined that this rule is not a
significant regulatory action for the purpose of E.O. 12866. After
review of the law and regulations, the Director, Bureau of Prisons has
certified that this rule, for the purpose of the Regulatory Flexibility
Act (Pub. L. 96-354), does not have a significant impact on a
substantial number of small entities.
