[BOP-1021-F]
Control, Custody, Care, Treatment and Instruction of Inmates;
Editorial Amendments
AGENCY: Bureau of Prisons, Justice.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: In this document the Bureau of Prisons is making editorial
amendments to its regulations in order to update statutory references,
terminology, and to correct typographical errors.
EFFECTIVE DATE: April 6, 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 amending for
editorial purposes its regulations on the Inmate Financial
Responsibility Program, Non-discrimination Toward Inmates, and Civil
Contempt of Court Commitments.
A final rule on the Inmate Financial Responsibility Program (28 CFR
545.10 to 545.11) was published in the Federal Register May 21, 1991
(56 FR 23477). This publication contained a typographical error
(``Court-Ordered restriction'' rather than ``Court-ordered
restitution'') in Sec. 545.11(a)(2). This document accordingly
correctly revises that paragraph.
A final rule on Non-Discrimination Toward Inmates (28 CFR 551.90)
was published in the Federal Register on April 4, 1980 (45 FR 23366).
This document amends Sec. 551.90 to use the term ``disability'' instead
of the term ``handicap''. This amendment is intended to conform to
terminology used in current statutes.
A final rule on Civil Contempt of Court Commitments (28 CFR 522.10
to 522.11) was published in the Federal Register June 29, 1979 (44 FR
38244). This document amends Sec. 522.11(g) to include reference to
subsequent statutory citations. This document also revises the
authority citation for the part for the sake of editorial consistency.
Because these amendments are editorial in nature and impose no new
restrictions on inmates, the Bureau finds good cause for exempting the
provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 553) requiring
notice of proposed rulemaking, the opportunity for public comment, and
delay in effective date. Members of the public may submit comments
concerning this rule by writing to the previously cited address. These
comments will be considered but will receive no response in the Federal
Register.
The Bureau of Prisons has determined that this rule is not a
significant regulatory action for the purpose of E.O. 12866, and
accordingly this rule was not reviewed by the Office of Management and
Budget. 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.
