BOP Program Statement 2100.04 § 5
Equity Formulas. To facilitate establishing funding bases for Salaries and Expenses sub-
budget activities, Central Office program managers, with input from field staff, have created
unique formulas that provide the ability to automatically establish equitable funding bases at the
sub-budget activity level. Creation or modification of equity formulas is coordinated between
the Central Office program manager and the Chief, BEB.
Factors associated with each equity formula are complex and attempt to identify elements (e.g.,
climate, security level) that are common to all facilities and have a tangible effect on operations.
However, equity formulas cannot realistically identify every element that has an impact on every
facility.
CEOs at the regional level, absent any restrictions imposed, retain authority to distribute funds to
the institution level in any manner deemed equitable. Disparities in the computation of equity
formulas are brought to the attention of the Chief, BEB, prior to approval of the current year
budget.
For areas that do not use equity formulas, Central Office program managers and the BEB
distribute funding according to their established guidelines.
Disparities in funding levels are addressed with the appropriate Central Office program manager.
