BOP Program Statement 1066.06 § 6

At the conclusion of the pilot program period, and once a decision regarding the next steps is

made by the Executive Staff, the pilot program must be formally closed by drafting a

memorandum to memorialize the findings of the program. Regardless of whether the Executive

Staff decides to end or further expand the program the memorandum must be drafted by the

sponsoring division or region and must include a summary of the timeline of the project,

information about outcomes of the evaluation component, and a clear timeline for the end or

continuation of the program. Pilots are generally expected to take less than one year to complete,

though an extension may be requested by the sponsoring AD or RD, if required. Pilots will all be

reviewed for progress annually. The memorandum must also include the signature of the

sponsoring Executive Team member and relevant AD or RD.
