SUMMARY: The fee to cover the average cost of incarceration for Federal 
inmates in 2003 was $23,181.

Dates: Effective September 24, 2004.

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 2003 data, the fee to cover the average 
cost of incarceration for Federal inmates in 2003 was $23,181.

Harley G. Lappin,
Director, Bureau of Prisons.
