Elimination of the South Central Region, and the Transfer of States Formerly Included in the South Central Region to the North Central and Eastern Regions

Résumé

The U.S. Parole Commission is eliminating one of the regions which it has established for the purpose of delegating decision-making authority to Regional Commissioners under 18 U.S.C. 4203(c)(1). The Commission is eliminating the South Central Region, and assigning certain states formerly contained therein to the North Central Region, and the remaining states to the Eastern Region. The purpose of these changes is to permit the Commission to manage its caseload more efficiently with its reduced resources, in view of the Commission's statutorily mandated abolition on November 1, 1997.
