Parole Commission

28 CFR Part 2


Paroling, Recommitting, and Supervising Federal Prisoners: 
Transfer Treaty Cases

AGENCY: United States Parole Commission, Dept. of Justice.

ACTION: Final rule; correction.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The U.S. Parole Commission is correcting typographical errors 
in the final rule regarding the number of hearing examiners required to 
conduct a hearing for a prisoner transferred to the United States 
pursuant to treaty. The rule appeared in the Federal Register on July 
25, 1996 (61 FR 144).

EFFECTIVE DATE: October 17, 1996.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Pamela Posch, Office of General 
Counsel, U.S. Parole Commission, 5550 Friendship Blvd., Chevy Chase, 
MD, 20815. Telephone (301) 492-5959.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On July 25, 1996, the Parole Commission 
published a final rule regarding the procedures followed in cases 
involving prisoners who are transferred to the United States pursuant 
to treaty, to serve a sentence imposed in the transferring country. 
Prior to the rule change, the Commission's regulation required that 
special transferee hearings be conducted by panels of two hearing 
examiners. The rule was changed by reducing the number from two hearing 
examiners to one hearing examiner. The following correction is made to 
the final rule published on July 25, 1996 (61 FR 144).
    1. The first sentence of Sec. 2.62(h)(6) in the second column on 
page 38570 which reads, ``(6) The transferee shall be notified of the 
examiner's recommending findings of fact, and the examiner's 
recommended determination and reasons therefore, at the conclusion at 
the hearing. * * *'' is corrected to read as follows:
    ``(6) The transferee shall be notified of the examiner's 
recommended findings of fact, and the examiner's recommended 
determination and reasons therefore, at the conclusion of the hearing. 
* * *''
* * * * *
    Dated: October 7, 1996.

Chairman, U.S. Parole Commission.
