SUMMARY: The fee to cover the average cost of incarceration for Federal
inmates in 2001 was $22,174, and in 2002 was $22,517.

EFFECTIVE DATE: April 18, 2003.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 28 CFR part 505 allows for assessment and
collection of a fee to cover the average cost of incarceration for
Federal inmates. We calculate this fee by dividing the number
representing Bureau facilities' monetary obligation (excluding
activation costs) by the number of inmate-days incurred for the
preceding fiscal year, and then by multiplying the quotient by 365.
    Under Sec.  505.2, the Director of the Bureau of Prisons determined
that, based upon fiscal year 2001 and 2002 data, the fee to cover the
average cost of incarceration for Federal inmates in 2001 was $22,174
and in 2002 was $22,517.

Director, Bureau of Prisons.
