ACTION: Proposed Rule. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: The Bureau of Prisons is proposing to amend its regulations on progress reports to require that progress reports for designated inmates be prepared at least once every 36 months. The purpose of this change is to streamline operations at Bureau facilities while continuing to provide appropriate program services to inmates. DATES: Comments due by May 5, 1997. ADDRESSES: Rules Unit, 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 progress reports (28 CFR part 524, subpart E). A final rule on this subject was published in the Federal Register on December 3, 1990 (55 FR 49977), and was amended February 11, 1994 (59 FR 6856) and February 27, 1995 (60 FR 10722). Progress reports are used to maintain current information on an inmate such as his/her institutional adjustment, program participation, and readiness for release. Paragraph (e) of Sec. 524.41 had previously specified that a progress report shall be prepared on each federal inmate at least once every 24 months, if for no other reason than to update report information. This paragraph was amended in 1995 to allow for a triennial rather than biennial progress report for inmates at independent camps. This amendment allowed the Bureau to allocate staff resources at independent camps in a more efficient manner. The Bureau wishes to extend such streamlining of operations to its other facilities, and therefore proposes to require that a progress report be prepared on each designated inmate at least once every 36 months if not previously generated for another reason required by Sec. 524.41. The Bureau of Prisons has determined that this rule is not a significant regulatory action for the purpose of E.O. 12866, and accordingly 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 (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.), does not have a significant impact on a substantial number of small entities. Because this rule pertains to the correctional management of offenders committed to the custody of the Attorney General or the Director of the Bureau of Prisons, its economic impact is limited to the Bureau's appropriated funds. Interested persons may participate in this proposed rulemaking by submitting data, views, or arguments in writing to the Rules Unit, Office of General Counsel, Bureau of Prisons, 320 First Street, NW., HOLC Room 754, Washington, DC 20534. Comments received during the comment period will be considered before final action is taken. Comments received after the expiration of the comment period will be considered to the extent practicable. All comments received remain on file for public inspection at the above address. The proposed rule may be changed in light of the comments received. No oral hearings are contemplated. List of Subjects in 28 CFR Part 524 Prisoners. Ronald G. Thompson, Acting Director, Bureau of Prisons. Accordingly, pursuant to the rulemaking authority vested in the Attorney General in 5 U.S.C. 552(a) and delegated to the Director, Bureau of Prisons in 28 CFR 0.96(p), part 524 in subchapter B of 28 CFR, chapter V is proposed to be amended as set forth below.
