Inmate Communication With News Media: Removal of Byline
Regulations
AGENCY: Bureau of Prisons, Justice Department.
ACTION: Interim final rule; technical correction.

[[Page 25111]]
SUMMARY: This document corrects the dates section of an interim final
rule published on Friday, April 23, 2010. In the interim rule, the
Bureau of Prisons (Bureau) revised its regulations regarding inmate
contact with the community to remove two current Bureau regulations
that prohibit inmates from publishing under a byline, due to a recent
court ruling invalidating Bureau regulation language containing this
prohibition. The April 23, 2010, publication inadvertently omitted an
effective date.
DATES: The interim final rule published April 23, 2010, at 75 FR 21163,
is effective May 7, 2010. Comments are due by June 22nd, 2010.
ADDRESSES: Rules Unit, Office of General Counsel, Bureau of Prisons,
320 First Street, NW., Washington, DC 20534.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Sarah Qureshi, Office of General
Counsel, Bureau of Prisons, phone (202) 307-2105.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This document corrects the DATES section of
the publication on Friday, April 23, 2010 (75 FR 21163). The dates
section of that document should read as follows: ``This rule is
effective on [insert date of publication]. Comments are due by June
22nd, 2010.'' However, because that document did not include an
effective date, this document announces the effective date of those
provisions.
