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 of Prisons 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. In 2012, however, there were 366 days, so we multiply 
the quotient by 366 for 2012.
    Under Sec.  505.2, the Director of the Bureau of Prisons determined 
that, based upon fiscal year 2012 data, the fee to cover the average 
cost of incarceration for Federal inmates in Fiscal Year 2012 was 
$29,027.46 ($79.31 per day). (Please note: There were 366 days in FY 
2012.) The average annual cost to confine an inmate in a Community 
Corrections Center for Fiscal Year 2012 was $27,003 ($73.78 per day).
