SUMMARY: The fee to cover the average cost of incarceration for Federal
inmates is $21,926.
EFFECTIVE DATE: August 11, 1999.
ADDRESSES: Office of General Counsel, HOLC 754, Federal Bureau of
Prisons, 320 First St., NW., Washington, DC 20405.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Provisions in 28 CFR part 505 allow for the
assessment and collection of a fee to cover the average cost of
incarceration for Federal inmates. This fee is calculated by dividing
the number representing the obligation encountered in Bureau facilities
(excluding activation costs) by the number of inmate-days incurred for
preceding fiscal year, and then by multiplying the quotient by 365.
The initial publication of the fee based upon fiscal year 1994 data
was $21,352. Subsequent determinations of the fee were: $23,542 (based
upon fiscal year 1995 data), $23,542 (based upon fiscal year 1996
data), $21,838 (based upon fiscal year 1997 data).
Pursuant to Sec. 505.2(b), the Director of the Bureau of Prisons
has reviewed the amount of the fee and has determined that, based upon
fiscal year 1998 data, the fee to cover the average cost of
incarceration for Federal inmates is $21,926.
Kathleen Hawk Sawyer,
Director, Bureau of Prisons.
