Department of Justice.
ACTION: Notice of request for public
comment.
mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with PROPOSALS
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: Pursuant to the USA
PATRIOT Improvement and
Reauthorization Act of 2005, the
Department of Justice promulgated a
final rule to implement certification
procedures for states seeking to qualify
for the expedited federal habeas corpus
review procedures in capital cases
under chapter 154 of title 28 of the
United States Code. Certification
Process for State Capital Counsel
Systems, 73 FR 75327 (Dec. 11, 2008).
The procedural benefits of chapter 154
are available to states that establish
mechanisms for providing counsel to
indigent capital defendants in state
postconviction proceedings that satisfy
certain statutory requirements. The
Department hereby requests public
comment on issues related to the final
rule.
DATES: Comments are due April 6, 2009.
ADDRESSES: Please address all
comments regarding this notice, by U.S.
mail, to: Ben Gorban, Bureau of Justice
Assistance, Office of Justice Programs,

to capital defendants in state
postconviction proceedings. Chapter
154 has been in place since the
enactment of the Antiterrorism and
Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996
(Pub. L. 104–132).
Section 507 of Public Law 109–177,
the USA PATRIOT Improvement and
Reauthorization Act of 2005 (‘‘the Act’’),
amended chapter 154 of title 28 of the
United States Code. Prior to the Act, the
determination that a state was eligible
for the procedural benefits of chapter
154 had been left to the federal court of
appeals for the circuit in which a state
was located. The Act, inter alia,
amended sections 2261(b) and 2265 of
title 28 to assign responsibility for
chapter 154 certifications to the
Attorney General of the United States,
subject to de novo review by the Court
of Appeals for the District of Columbia
Circuit.
Section 2265(b) directs the Attorney
General to promulgate regulations to
implement the certification procedure.
The Department of Justice published a
proposed rule in the Federal Register on
June 6, 2007, for this purpose, to add a
new subpart in 28 CFR part 26 entitled
‘‘Certification Process for State Capital
Counsel Systems.’’ Certification Process
for State Capital Counsel Systems, 72
FR 31217 (June 6, 2007). The comment
period ended on August 6, 2007. The
Department published a notice on
August 9, 2007, reopening the comment
period, and the reopened comment
period ended on September 24, 2007. 72
FR 44816 (Aug. 9, 2007). The
Department of Justice published the
final rule on December 11, 2008, with a
scheduled effective date of January 12,
2009. Certification Process for State
Capital Counsel Systems, 73 FR 75327
(Dec. 11, 2008).
The final rule is the subject of a
preliminary injunction issued by a
district court in the Northern District of
California. See Habeas Corpus Res. Ctr.
v. U.S. Dep’t of Justice, No. C 08–2649
CW (N.D. Cal., Jan. 20, 2009). The
Department of Justice has decided to
solicit further comment on all aspects of
the final rule for 60 days following
publication of this notice. The
Department will consider comments
received during this period and publish
a summary and response as appropriate.
Dated: February 2, 2009.

Acting Attorney General.
