[ANNUAL DETERMINATION OF AVERAGE COST OF INCARCERATION
§ 505.2. Pursuant to 28 CFR 0.96c, the Bureau of Prisons staff
is responsible for calculating the annual average cost of

updated consistent with the fiscal planning cycle, if possible.
Once the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) Poverty

been determined, these figures will be disseminated via an
Operations Memorandum by the Correctional Programs Division,

Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
