The BOP agreed to enforce the BOP Policy Standards (PS) 5100.07, which states that all Community Corrections Offices (CCOs) are to use the BP-337 for inputting initial inmate data as the sole source document by July 1, 2003. To close this recommendation, the BOP needs to provide the OIG with evidence that the CCOs have received notification of the requirement.
