SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of

announces the availability of the Record
of Decision (ROD) concerning the

approximately 1,380 federal, lowsecurity, adult male District of Columbia

aliens within a Contractor-Owned/

facility.

Background Information
Pursuant to Section 102(2)(c) of the
National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA) of 1969 and the Council of
Environmental Quality Regulations (40
CFR Parts 1500–1508), the BOP has
prepared Draft and Final Environmental
Impact Statements (EISs) for the
proposed award of a contract to house
approximately 1,380 federal, lowsecurity, adult male DC-sentenced
felons and criminal aliens within a
Contractor-Owned/Contractor-Operated
correctional facility.
sroberts on DSKD5P82C1PROD with NOTICES
Project Information
The BOP faces unprecedented growth
in its inmate population resulting from
federal law enforcement programs.
Federal Correctional Institutions
housing low-security inmates are
especially impacted because DCsentenced felons and criminal aliens are
typically housed at the low-security
level. Due to the current shortage of
beds within the federal prison system,
particularly at the low-security level,
the BOP is managing the federal inmate
population by assigning minimum and
medium-security level institutions as
low-security institutions. This, in turn,
impacts other security levels by
reducing the availability of beds to
accommodate minimum- and mediumsecurity inmates. The projected growth
in the number of sentenced felons and
aliens resulting from increased law
enforcement efforts will further
exacerbate these population pressures.
The DC III procurement serves to
address these growth issues on a
national basis.
The BOP requires flexibility in
managing the shortage of beds at the
low-security level as well as the
anticipated future increases at this
security level. Such management
flexibility, involving the use of
Contractor-Owned/Contractor-Operated
correctional facilities when appropriate,
would help to meet population capacity
needs in a timely fashion, conform to
federal law, and maintain fiscal
responsibility while successfully
meeting the mission of the BOP. That
mission is to protect society by
confining offenders in the controlled
environments of prison and communitybased facilities that are safe, humane,
cost-efficient and appropriately secure,
and that provide work and other selfimprovement opportunities to assist
offenders in becoming law-abiding
citizens.
The proposed action is to award a
contract to house approximately 1,380
federal, low-security, adult male, DCsentenced felons and criminal aliens

within a Contractor-Owned/ContractorOperated correctional facility. Under the
proposed action, the contractor selected
would be responsible for ensuring that
the correctional facility is operated in a
manner consistent with the mission of
the BOP and in accordance with state
and federal laws and regulations. In
addition, the facility selected would be
within the proximity of, and have access
to, emergency services including
medical care, fire protection and law
enforcement.
It is anticipated that the BOP will
assign a population of approximately
1,380 low-security, adult male inmates,
predominantly DC-sentenced felons and
criminal aliens, to the selected facility.
However, the BOP may designate any
inmate within its custody utilizing the
same designation criteria as are used at
other BOP facilities. All inmate services
and programs would be developed and
implemented to comply with the BOP’s
contract requirements and all applicable
federal, state and local laws and
regulations.
The BOP issued a DEIS in January
2010 with publication of the Notice of
Availability (NOA) in the Federal
Register on January 22, 2010. The NOA
provided a start date for the 45-day
public comment period beginning on
January 22, 2010, and ending on March
8, 2010. During the public comment
period public hearings concerning the
proposed action and the DEIS were held
on February 10, 2010 in Winton, North
Carolina and February 24, 2010 in
Princess Anne, Maryland.
The FEIS addressed comments
received on the DEIS and publication of
the NOA in the Federal Register
concerning the FEIS occurred on May 7,
2010. The 30-day review period for
receipt of public comments concerning
the FEIS ended on June 7, 2010, during
which time comment letters and similar
forms of communication were received
by the BOP. Each of the comment letters
are similar to comments received on the
DEIS and were considered in the
decision presented in the ROD.
BOP provided written notices of the
availability of the DEIS and FEIS in the
Federal Register, two newspapers with
local and regional circulations, and
through two local public libraries. The
BOP also distributed approximately 175
copies (each) of the DEIS and FEIS to
federal agencies, state and local
governments, elected officials,
interested organizations, and
individuals.
The BOP evaluated alternatives as
part of the EIS including the No Action
Alternative; implementation of the
proposed action at the Winton, North
Carolina site (involving use of the Rivers
PO 00000
Frm 00121
Fmt 4703

Correctional Institution) to house the
federal inmate population; and
implementation of the proposed action

(involving development of a new

correctional facility) to house the federal
inmate population. Each of the
alternative sites in Winton, North
Carolina and Princess Anne, Maryland
is examined in detail in the Draft and
Final EISs with contract award to the
Winton site in North Carolina identified
in the ROD as the Preferred Alternative.
