The OFR/GPO partnership is committed to presenting accurate and reliable

establishing the XML-based Federal Register as an ACFR-sanctioned
publication in the future. While every effort has been made to ensure that
the material on FederalRegister.gov is accurately displayed, consistent with
the official SGML-based PDF version on govinfo.gov, those relying on it for
legal research should verify their results against an official edition of
the Federal Register. Until the ACFR grants it official status, the XML
rendition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov does not
provide legal notice to the public or judicial notice to the courts.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The National Prison Rape Elimination Commission (“NPREC” or “the Commission”) is a bipartisan panel created by Congress as part of the Prison Rape Elimination Act of 2003. The Commission is charged with studying federal, state and local government policies and practices related to the prevention, detection, response and monitoring of sexual abuse in correctional and detention facilities in the United States. Consistent with the Act, the Commission's recommendations will be designed to make the prevention of sexual abuse a top priority in America's jails, prisons, lock-ups, juvenile facilities, and other detention facilities.

Since its creation, the Commission has undertaken a comprehensive legal and factual study of the penological, physical, mental, medical, social and economic impacts of prison sexual abuse on federal, state and local government functions and on the communities and social institutions in which they operate.

Upon completion of its study, the Commission will report its findings, conclusions and recommendations to the President, Congress, the U.S. Attorney General and other federal and state officials. As a key component of its report, the panel will include the statutorily required zero-tolerance standards.

This notice is to announce the release of Draft Standards for the Prevention, Detection, Response, and Monitoring of Sexual Abuse in Adult Prisons, Jails, and supplemental standards for facilities holding Immigration Detainees, for a public comment period of 60 days. Written comments about these draft standards are invited from the public, as well as affected agencies and organizations.

This draft can be accessed and downloaded from the NPREC Web site: http://www.nprec.us. A hard copy of the NPREC draft standards is available by mailing a request to the NPREC address, by telephoning (202) 233-1090, or via e-mail at nprec@nprec.us.

Separate draft standards for Lock-Ups, Juvenile and Community Corrections facilities will become available for public comment in June 2008. Separate notice and comment forms will be posted for this purpose in June.

Dated: April 24, 2008.

Margaret M. Chiara,

General Counsel, National Prison Rape Elimination Commission.
