BOP Program Statement 5200.06 § 14

Inmates may use the procedures of the Program Statement Administrative Remedy Program

concerning any issues relating to this policy. After receiving a response to a BP-11, inmates

alleging violations of the Rehabilitation Act must also use additional procedures required by the

Department of Justice (DOJ) in order to exhaust available administrative remedies on these

issues. The DOJ procedures are found at 28 C.F.R. § 39.170.

The Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) Officer, Central Office, has been designated by DOJ

and Bureau as the “Responsible Official” or “Official” as used in these regulations.

P5200.06 11/22/2019 11

Inmates should file complaints with the EEO Officer, Central Office. All complaints should be

sent to the Bureau’s EEO Office, and include copies of the administrative remedies and

responses received. (i.e., BP-9, BP-10, and BP-11).

Any costs incurred from the administrative process will be paid from the budget of the institution

where the claim arose.
