Annual Determination of Average Cost of Incarceration

AGENCY: Bureau of Prisons, Justice.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The fee to cover the average cost of incarceration for Federal 
inmates in Fiscal Year 2006 was $24,440.

DATES: Effective Date: June 6, 2007.

ADDRESSES: Office of General Counsel, Federal Bureau of Prisons, 320 
First St., NW., Washington, DC 20534.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Sarah Qureshi, (202) 307-2105.

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 2006 data, the fee to cover the average 
cost of incarcerating a single inmate for one year during 2006 was 
$24,440.

Harley G. Lappin,
Director, Bureau of Prisons.
