BOP Program Statement 8531.12 § 13
NON-FEDERAL DEBT. Non-federal debt includes any debt owed
to FPI by any source outside the federal government that may
include one of the following categories:
! Employees - an employee is anyone currently working for the
Bureau. Debt may be incurred through the advancement of
funds for travel (i.e., temporary duty or permanent change
of station), salary, or overpayment of benefits.
! Former Employees - a former employee is an individual who no
longer works for the Bureau. Debt of former employees
usually results from overpayment of benefits and/or failure
to fulfil the 12-month service agreement.
! Vendor - individuals or businesses which may provide goods
and/or services to FPI. The debt may be incurred when
purchases are returned to the vendor.
! Non-federal Customer - customers that are not associated
with the Federal Government. Occasionally, FPI provides
goods and/or services to customers outside of the Federal
Government. In addition, this type of debt may be generated
through sales of scrap, recycled material, or disposal of
excess inventory.
