BOP Program Statement 3630.02 § 8

Teleworkers will be provided a Government-issued, properly configured laptop to connect

remotely to the BOP and DOJ systems. The Government may periodically audit the computer’s

security configuration to ensure conformance with Federal IT security requirements. The BOP is

responsible for service and maintenance of Government-issued equipment.

Teleworkers must use Government-issued equipment for official purposes only. Family

members and friends of employees are not authorized to use Government-issued equipment and

materials. Teleworkers must return Government-issued equipment to the BOP at the conclusion

of teleworking arrangements or at the Bureau’s request.

Use of personally owned computers to access unclassified BOP or DOJ systems or networks

remotely must comply with the criteria and guidelines for using personal equipment established

by the BOP.
