BOP Program Statement 6010.06 § 12
POLICY WAIVERS
If an institution is unable to comply with the provisions of a policy due to some unique condition,
the Warden must request a formal waiver to that policy. The Assistant Director, HSD, may grant
exemptions only for those areas specifically authorized by health services policy in accordance
with the Program Statement Directives Management Manual. The Director must approve all
other exemption requests.
All requests must clearly state the problem and attempted solutions.
Requests must be forwarded to the Assistant Director, HSD from the Warden, through the
Regional Director.
If approved, the documentation will be maintained with each copy of the appropriate health
services policy in the institution.
If disapproved by the Regional Director, the request will be returned with an explanation but does
not need to be forwarded to the Assistant Director.
No changes will be made until written approval is received.

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.
