SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 28 CFR part 505 allows for assessment and 
collection of a fee to cover the average cost of incarceration for 
Federal inmates. We calculate this fee by dividing the number 
representing Bureau facilities' monetary obligation (excluding 
activation costs) by the number of inmate-days incurred for the 
preceding fiscal year, and then by multiplying the quotient by 365.
    Under Sec.  505.2, the Director of the Bureau of Prisons determined 
that, based upon fiscal year 2001 and 2002 data, the fee to cover the 
average cost of incarceration for Federal inmates in 2001 was $22,174 
and in 2002 was $22,517.

Director, Bureau of Prisons.
