BOP Program Statement 2272.06 § 6

a. Employees will be notified in advance of the expected

length of the TDY assignment. Ordinarily, employees shall stay

the length of the situation for TDY assignments less than 30

days.

b. If a TDY situation is anticipated to exceed 30 days, the

initial staffing assignments will be 30 days for 50% of the staff

and 45 days for the other 50% of the staff.

This procedure ensures some operating continuity during the

relief of TDY staff. Subsequent assignments ordinarily shall be

in 30-day increments. Both Wardens will coordinate the relief of

TDY staff as needed.

c. With the approval of both the home and TDY institutions'

Wardens, staff may voluntarily extend their TDY assignment for an

additional 30-day tour. The voluntary extension shall be in

accordance with 5 U.S.C. 3341. Early departure from the TDY

facility for any reason shall require both Wardens' approval. At

any time an employee may request, through management, early

departure from the TDY assignment. The Employer will consider
