Delegation Concerning International Prisoner Transfer Program

The Attorney General has delegated to the Assistant Attorney General for the Criminal Division certain authorities of the Attorney General concerning transfer of offenders to or from foreign countries, including the authority to find appropriate or inappropriate the transfer of offenders to or from a foreign country under certain treaties. The Assistant Attorney General for the Criminal Division is authorized to re-delegate this authority to the Deputy Assistant Attorneys General, the Director of the Office of Enforcement Operations, and the Senior Associate Director and Associate Directors of the Office of Enforcement Operations. The Department of Justice is moving the responsibility for handling international prisoner transfers from the Office of Enforcement Operations to the Office of International Affairs. Accordingly, this final rule amends the Code of Federal Regulations to authorize the Assistant Attorney General for the Criminal Division to re-delegate this authority within the Criminal Division to the Deputy Assistant Attorneys General in the Criminal Division, and to the Director, the Deputy Directors, and the Associate Director supervising the International Prisoner Transfer Unit of the Office of International Affairs.
