(DEIS) for development of a Federal
Correctional Institution and Federal

(BOP). Land under consideration for
development consists of areas located
on BOP-owned property comprising the
U.S. Penitentiary (USP) in Leavenworth,
Kansas.

The Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP)
is responsible for carrying out

whenever a period of confinement is
ordered. The mission of the BOP is to
protect society by confining offenders in
the controlled environments of prisons
and community-based facilities that are
safe, humane, cost-efficient and
appropriately secure, and that provide
work and other self-improvement
opportunities to assist offenders in
becoming law-abiding citizens.
The BOP is facing continuous growth
in the number of federal inmates with
projections showing the federal inmate
population increasing from 210,227
inmates at the end of fiscal year 2010 to
over 226,000 inmates by the end of
fiscal year 2013. As such, the demand

system continues to grow at a significant
rate. At the present time, the federal
inmate population exceeds the
combined rated capacities of the
existing 116 federal correctional
facilities.
The federal inmate population has
grown dramatically over the past two
decades. While the BOP is no longer
experiencing the dramatic population
increases of between 10,000 and 11,000
inmates per year that occurred from
1998 to 2001, the increases are still
significant and a net growth of over
6,000 inmates is projected for FY 2011
and 5,600 is projected for FY 2012. The
federal inmate population is projected
to increase and continue to exceed the
rated capacity of the BOP’s 116
institutions and current contract
facilities. Currently, the BOP is 36
percent above rated capacity systemwide in the federal prison system, 43
percent over rated capacity at medium
security facilities, and 53 percent over
rated capacity at high security
institutions. As in the past, the BOP will
continue to increase the number of beds
through additional contract beds,
acquisition and adaptation of existing
facilities, and new prison construction
as funding permits. Adding capacity
through these various means, allows the
BOP the opportunity to work towards
keeping prison crowding at manageable
levels to ensure both public safety and
the safety of inmates within the BOP
institutions.
In the face of the continuing increase
in the federal prison population, one
way the BOP has expanded its capacity
is through construction of new
institutions. As part of this effort, the
BOP has a facilities planning program
featuring the identification and
evaluation of sites for new facilities. The
BOP routinely identifies prospective
sites that may be appropriate for
development of new federal correctional
facilities determined by the need for
such facilities in various parts of the
country and the resources available to
meet that need.
The BOP routinely screens and
evaluates private and public properties
located throughout the nation for
possible use and development. Over the
past decade, the BOP has examined
prospective sites for new correctional
facilities development in Alabama,
Kentucky, New Hampshire, Arizona,
Mississippi, West Virginia, California
and other locations around the country
and has undertaken environmental
impact studies in compliance with the
National Environmental Policy Act of
1969, as amended.

Proposed Action
The BOP is facing increased bedspace
shortages throughout the federal prison
system. Over the past decade, a
significant influx of inmates has entered
the federal prison system with a large
portion of this influx originating from
the north central region of the United
States. In response, the BOP has
committed significant resources to
identifying and developing sites for new
federal correctional facilities within this
region including development of
facilities in Florence, Colorado; Terre
Haute, Indiana; Greenville, Illinois; and
Waseca, Minnesota. Even with the
development of new and expanded
facilities, projections show the federal
inmate population continuing to
increase, placing additional demands
for bedspace within the BOP’s North
Central Region.
In response, the BOP has undertaken
preliminary investigations in an effort to
identify prospective sites capable of
accommodating federal correctional
facilities and communities willing to
host such facilities. Through this
process, the BOP has identified
potential locations for development of
new federal correctional facilities and
several sites are under active
consideration. These potential sites
were subjected to initial studies by the
BOP and those considered suitable for
correctional facility development will
be evaluated further by the BOP in a
DEIS that will analyze the potential
impacts of facility construction and
operation.
The Process
The process of evaluating the
potential environmental impacts
associated with federal correctional
facility development and operation
involves the analysis of many factors
and features including, but not limited
to: Topography, geology, soils,
hydrology, biological resources, cultural
resources, hazardous materials, visual
and aesthetics features, fiscal
considerations, population/
employment/housing characteristics,
community services and facilities, land
uses, utility services, transportation
systems, meteorological conditions, air
quality, and noise.

Alternatives
In developing the DEIS, the No Action
alternative, other actions considered
and eliminated, and alternative
development areas for the proposed
Federal Correctional Institution and
Federal Prison Camp will be examined.
The areas examined will consist of BOPowned property contiguous to the

existing Leavenworth Institution and
will be further defined in the EIS
process.
Scoping Process
During the preparation of the DEIS,
there will be opportunities for public
involvement in order to determine the
issues to be examined. A Public Scoping
Meeting will be held at 7 p.m., January
20, 2011, at the Riverfront Community
Center (123 S. Esplanade Street,
Leavenworth, Kansas). The meeting
location, date, and time will be wellpublicized and have been arranged to
allow for the public as well as interested
agencies and organizations to attend and
formally express their views on the
scope and significant issues to be
studied as part of the DEIS process. The
Scoping Meeting is being held to
provide for timely public comments and
understanding of federal plans and
programs with possible environmental
consequences as required by the
National Environmental Policy Act of
1969, as amended, and the National
Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as
amended.

Public notice will be given concerning
the availability of the DEIS for public
review and comment.

This notice describes MSHA’s

evaluating, and approving mining
products as provided by 30 CFR part 5.
SUMMARY:

MSHA charges applicants a fee to cover
its direct and indirect costs associated
with testing, evaluating, and approval of
equipment and materials manufactured
for use in the mining industry. The new
fee schedule, effective January 1, 2011,
is based on MSHA’s direct and indirect
costs for providing services during fiscal
year (FY) 2010.
This fee schedule is effective
January 1, 2011.
DATES:

P. Faini, Chief, Approval and
Certification Center, 304–547–2029 or

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
Under 30 CFR 5.50, each fee schedule
shall remain in effect for at least one
year and be subject to revision at least
once every three years. MSHA’s existing
fee schedule, revised December 24, 2008
(73 FR 79195) became effective January
1, 2009.
Under 30 CFR 5.30(a), Part 15 fees for
services provided to MSHA by other
organizations may be set by those
organizations. In addition, under 30
CFR 5.40, when the nature of the
product requires MSHA to test and
evaluate the product at a location other
than on MSHA premises, MSHA is
allowed to charge actual travel expenses
in addition to the fees charged for
evaluation and testing.
II. Fee Computation
MSHA computed the 2011 fees using
FY 2010 costs for baseline data. MSHA
calculated a weighted-average based on
the direct and indirect costs to
applicants for testing, evaluation, and
approval services provided in FY 2010.
From this average, MSHA computed a
single hourly rate, which applies
uniformly to all applications.
As a result of this process, MSHA has
determined that as of January 1, 2011,
the fee will be $97 per hour for services
provided.
III. Applicable Fee
• Applications postmarked before
January 1, 2011: MSHA will process
these applications under the 2009
hourly rate of $90.
• Applications postmarked on or after
January 1, 2011: MSHA will process
these applications under the 2011
hourly rate of $97. This information is
available on MSHA’s Web site at
https://www.msha.gov.
