28 CFR Part 2


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

AGENCY: United States Parole Commission, Justice.

ACTION: Final rule; correction.

SUMMARY: U.S. Parole Commission is correcting its regulation concerning

reduction in the number of hearing officers necessary to conduct a 
parole hearing. The reduction was originally made in the final rule 
published on July 25, 1996 (61 FR 38569).

EFFECTIVE DATE: July 28, 1997.
