DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
Federal Bureau of Prisons
Notice of Availability of the
Environmental Assessment for New
Low Security Beds
U.S. Department of Justice,
Federal Bureau of Prisons.
ACTION: Public comment on
environmental assessment.
AGENCY:
The U.S. Department of
Justice, Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP)
announces the availability of the
Environmental Assessment (EA)
prepared for the proposed contract to
secure additional inmate bed space for
the BOP’s growing inmate population.
As part of an initiative (known as the
Criminal Alien Requirement), the BOP
has identified a specific requirement to

confine a population of approximately
1,000 low-security adult male inmates
that are primarily criminal aliens. The
BOP is seeking to reduce prison
overcrowding by requesting additional
contract beds for low-security male
criminal aliens.
In accordance with the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of
1969, the Council of Environmental
Quality Regulations (40 CFR parts 1500–
1508), and the Department of Justice
procedures for implementing NEPA (28
CFR part 61), the BOP has prepared an
EA to evaluate the proposed action of
contracting with one private contractor
to house approximately 1,000 Federal,
low-security, adult male, non-U.S.
citizen, criminal aliens at a contractorowned, contractor-operated correctional
facility.
The BOP’s EA evaluates the potential
environmental consequences of five
action alternatives and the No Action
Alternative. Natural, cultural, and
socioeconomic resource impacts
associated with the implementation of
the proposed action at each of the
proposed alternative locations were
analyzed to determine how these
resources may be affected by contracting
for an existing correctional facility to
house BOP inmates.
The alternatives considered for this
proposed action include: Lee
Adjustment Center, Beattyville,
Kentucky; Limestone County Detention
Center, Groesbeck, Texas; Jackson
Parish Correctional Center, Jonesboro,
Louisiana; Pine Prairie Correctional
Center, Pine Prairie, Louisiana; or the
Jack Harwell Detention Facility, Waco,
Texas. Inmates housed in these facilities
would be aliens from any number of
countries who have committed crimes
within the U.S. and are being held for
trial, or who have been convicted and
sentenced to serve time within the
Federal prison system. Upon
completion of their sentences, these
inmates would be deported to their
country of origin.
Request for Comments: The BOP
invites your participation and is
soliciting comments on the EA. The EA
will be the subject of a 30-day comment
period which begins January 28 and
ends February 28, 2011. Comments
concerning the EA and the proposed
action must be received during this time
to be assured consideration. All written
comments received during this review
period will be taken into consideration
by the BOP. Copies of the EA are
